Is Hillary going to apologize for the comments made in her behalf that insulted millions of women?

I would think that she would want our support should she become the nominee

Twitter, facebook, political boards.... women are not happy being told we have to vote with our vaginas.

Or is she just going to ride that gender card all the way thru the primaries?

They're convinced that they can win the GE with less than 30% of the voting public as few outside of the Democratic party will vote for Sec. Clinton. Sec. Clinton apologize? lol It's her turn damn it!

for something she didn't say. She should definitely repudiate them though.

That means "I know people are mad, but I'm not takin' it back noway nohow.".

It's just a step short of "I'm sorry if YOU were offended".

Insulting comments are being made by many supporters of all candidates. When the last time someone said trump should apologize for the white supremrcist on CNN spouting racism?

Same with transcripts of speeches. Has no other candidate given speeches. Have they been all asked to release transcripts??? This can't be a Hillary only requirement as that would be pure sexism.

Unless same is asked of all candidates these calls are all illegitimate and wrong.

It's part of a campaign - your surrogates represent you and when they do not represent your message, you deal with it.
