... in the leadership department. Not that I would give her high marks either. But she clearly makes a far better Speaker of the House than Harry does as Senate Majority Leader.
Every time I see Reid issuing his mealy-mouthed apologies and statements at pressers or on the Senate floor, I just have to cringe. It's almost like he wants to beg forgiveness just for taking up space on the Earth.
As for sexism, it may not be as blatant as the racist garbage Obama has to deal with, and you may not see it, but it is definitely out there. I really, really dislike Hillary just for what she represents as a politician, but I also see a LOT of sexist slurs applied to her that would never be used to describe a man. Her laugh, for instance. When was the last time you heard a man's laugh called a "cackle"? Much of this is a petty way of belittling her for who she is as a person, and I can easily understand why so many women would feel personally offended by that.
We should be able to oppose Sen. Clinton without being jerks about it.
