Despicable #DropOutHillary Hashtag: Only a Female Front Runner Would Be Told to Drop Out (HRC GP)

A trending hashtag on Twitter admonishes the Democratic frontrunner: #DropOutHillary. This is a perfect example of the demeaning, condescending, unfair treatment to which Hillary Clinton is subjected.

Hillary Clinton is winning. She is the front runner. She has a commanding lead in pledged delegates, in superdelegates, in votes. Bernie Sanders’ path to the nomination is virtually nonexistent, contingent upon an exceedingly unlikely scenario in which Hillary does not reach the requisite number of pledged delegates before the convention and a majority of superdelegates inexplicably abandon a thoroughly vetted and extremely qualified front runner.

Barring some extraordinary set of circumstances, Hillary will be the Democratic nominee.

No other front runner with such a clear path to the nomination would be subjected to this sort of belittling suggestion to drop out.

Even Trump, a wildly unpopular candidate with his own party leaders, has not been publicly admonished to drop out. The “Never Trump” campaign doesn’t presume to tell him that he should drop out.

This dynamic will surely be familiar to a lot of women. It is familiar to me. An eminently qualified woman being told to step aside to make room for a less qualified man? Been there, heard that.

I’m going to bet that I’m not the only woman who has a problem with people telling a woman who’s winning, and has the best shot to be the first female president, to drop out to make way for a male candidate who is losing and who has nowhere near her level of experience, competency, and preparedness.

It’s not clear whence started this hashtag, but whether it was Sanders supporters or Republican opponents, the message is the same: A woman who is positioned to win should curb her ambition and go home.

This is intolerable. And I have a competing message for them: #KeepWinningHillary.

1. People keep telling us to give BS and his supporters the benefit of the doubt!

Making it impossible to do so.

We're told to keep taking the higher road!


HRC ALREADY GOT THIS!!!!

2. yes but a tiny insular cult group on the internet says bernie is the better guy (reddit) nt

[displacedtexan]

3. Add this to the "Bernie makes her a better candidate" crap.

And while I'm ticked off about this "Surrender, Hillary" nonsense, I'm sick of reading how Hillary has to convince BS supporters to vote for her. As if Donald Trump picking a Supreme Court Justice isn't reason enough to vote for the party's nominee. It's timeto grow up and act like they care about the future of the country.

6. If they are old enough to vote they're adults!

Why do we need to hold their hands! Bullcrap!

8. I can't stand the "Bernie makes her a better candidate" stuff, either.

4. GDP currently has a thread calling for Sanders supporters to back Trump.

This is ridiculous.

7. Wondering real hard why I did not find these people convincing

about changing my vote to BS!

Showing their true colors.

5. I'm just spitballing here, but I doubt that anything I do

would change the antics of the Berniebros. They WILL Bernout though on their own or probably when Sanders tells them to cool it. On that last point, I am sure Democratic insiders are sending messages of some kind to Bernie to have him do exactly that.

9. In other words, Bernie's only path to the nomination is if Hillary gives it to him...nt

14. Exactly, kjones! BS can't earn it on his own.. he has to be the anointed one.

The truly disgusting part about Bernie's contested convention aspirations is how he thinks he's entitled to override the will of POC/women.

16. Covert to Trump's overt...

[Her Sister]

17. Ah this makes sense, opposites ways but still the same

underhandedness.

[kjones]

19. Yeah, like good cop, bad cop...

as to which is which...

[anotherproletariat]

10. And, imagine if the situation was reversed and it was Hillary losing. For one second, do you think

that the Bernouts would step back and let it 'all play out?"

[DawgHouse]

11. She's not stepping aside for anyone.

[Her Sister]

18. Right you are!

Totally! and Completely!

SHE ALREADY GOT THIS!

12. The Berniebros are getting desperate.

[Hekate]

13. Smell of desperation and flop-sweat permeates GDP

15. Poor little pretzels can no longer think straight. eom
