Quickly, what was Hillary Clinton's main platform for presidency? It was "I'm a woman!"
That’s not remotely true. Your comment is as valid as saying Trump’s platform in 2016 was MAGA.
Wrong. While she made some tenuous promises that failed to catch populist appeal, everyone knows that Hillary's main selling point was that she was a woman.
Politico - Debate Night - Clinton crushes it - "Twice, she used the fact that she would be the first woman president to deflect questions — once on the fact that she would be the second Clinton to get the “crown” of the presidency and once about how she would be different from an Obama third term.
'I think being the first woman president would be quite a change,' she said of her differences with Obama, though was vague when pressed further for details."
NY Times - "Her chromosomes are, at least for Democrats, her biggest selling point"
Washington Post - "Yet the biggest reason of all that the 'why' question matters so much for Clinton is that she is a woman. Consider this Gallup poll from March, which asked Americans about the most positive reasons for Clinton's presidency. The top answer, selected by 18 percent of respondents, was that she would be the first woman president. Just nine percent said it would be her foreign policy experience. Three percent said it would be that she is capable, competent and qualified. Two percent said it would be her intelligence. And another two percent said it would be because Bill Clinton would return to the White House and could act as her adviser."
VallyAdvocate - I combed the Internet looking for signs of something approximating a political agenda. I pushed out the following question to social networks: “Support Hillary for 2016? Can you tell me what she would do?” The closest approximation to an answer came back: “She would be the first woman president.”
The Gallup Poll 2014 - "Clearly Clinton’s 'unique selling proposition' is that she would be the first woman president."
Examiner - "Hillary Clinton 2016 strategy revealed: I'm a woman, vote for me"
NY Post - "Hillary’s desperate pitch: Did I mention I’m a woman?"
NBC News - "Americans, for the first time ever, will truly have the chance to put a woman in charge of the country."
Atlantic - "We Are Preparing to Shatter the Highest Glass Ceiling in Our Country"
US News - "Clinton appears willing to roll the dice and use her gender as a major selling point this time around. Her advocates say that, in personal terms, she welcomes the chance to break the final glass ceiling. She hopes the prospect of her election as president will capture the imagination of female voters and cause them to turn out in huge numbers on her behalf throughout the Democratic nominating caucuses and primaries, and in the general election."
Marketwatch - "Clinton’s attempt in the Democratic debate last week to deny that she was part of the establishment because she would be the first woman elected president — a woman who is backed by all major party officials and bankrolled by Wall Street and Big Business — was a ludicrous effort that only further damaged her credibility.
The Hill - "Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright had a special message for female voters Saturday on the campaign trail with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
'And just remember,' she said at a rally in Concord, N.H, flanked by Clinton and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.).
'There's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other.'"
