Sitting in a coffee shop the other day, I encountered a man and his friend discussing the 2016 election. Curious, I, admittedly, eavesdropped and learned that the man intended to vote for Hillary in 2016.
Why? Because, as he described his ârationaleâ: âShe could be the first woman president and I want to tell me daughter that that ceiling has been broken.â
Apparently, this is not an uncommon sentiment as a recent Gallup Poll indicates that the vast majority of Americans questioned claim that if they were to vote for Hillary, it would be simply because sheâs a woman.
According to Politico:
Asked what the best thing about the former secretary of state being elected president would be, 18 percent of those surveyed in a Gallup poll released Friday said her breaking the gender barrier. That total was double the next answer, which was her experience and foreign policy chops.
In third place, with 8 percent, was that she would be a change from the Obama administration.
Other smaller reasons were that Bill Clinton would be in the White House again and could offer advice (2%) and that she would be âgood for common peopleâ (1%).
Itâs incredible that in this day and age when we are supposed to consider the quality of character and the level of experience one is supposed to bring to a position of power that the vast majority of those polled would so candidly claim that the best thing about Hillary Clinton is her gender.
Perhaps even more disturbing, however, is the 8% that claimed that she would deserve the prestigious position because of her supposed foreign policy experience.
Aside from horrendously mismanaging the State Department and facilitating the murder of four Americans at the hands of Islamic militants, there must remain one central question as we hurl towards 2016: what accomplishments, other than the aforementioned Benghazi debacle, has Hillary achieved?

So many voters fucked up and voted Odumbo simply to put a (half) black guy in the WH. Now those same bozos think it would be a good idea to vote for the Hilldabeast, simply because she has a vagina?
