    Right, and I suppose I’m supposed to interpret that number as being completely unaffected by the specific woman who was running for president.

    By the way, funny you should mention that it “dropped by 9 points” without mentioning the actual numbers. Only 30% said that they weren’t ready for a woman president. The vast majority of that 30% is going to vote Republican even if you run the straightest whitest malest person you can find.

    Of course, as always, “The Democratic Party cannot fail, it can only be failed.” Never point the finger upwards, only ever downward. Their loss cannot possibly have anything to do with their strategies, the voters are always the ones to blame. This refusal to self-criticize is exactly what caused the Democrats to repeat the same blunders that caused Trump to win in 2016. Get your head out of the sand.
