Clinton surrogate Ed Rendell: There are "more ugly women in America than attractive women"

[Cheese Sandwich]

A Hillary Clinton surrogate said Donald Trump’s controversial remarks regarding women will hurt him in November because "there are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women."

Ed Rendell, the former governor of Pennsylvania, is the chairman of the Philadelphia 2016 Host Committee for this July’s Democratic National Convention.
...

“For every one he’ll lose 1 1/2, two Republican women. Trump’s comments like ‘You can’t be a 10 if you’re flat-chested,’ that’ll come back to haunt him,” Rendell said in the interview. “There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally.”

1. Says George Clooney's stunt double.

Ed Rendell has a history of saying dumb things.

[One Black Sheep]

2. Jesus, and some Hillary supporters keep saying that the Sanders campaign is misogynistic

Looks like the Hillary campaign needs to "remove the stick from their own eye first"

[Doctor Jack]

3. I knew it was a mistake to nominate Rendell for president

Oh wait

[wildeyed]

14. Maybe VP?

Would be kinda like having Joe "Foot in Mouth" Biden all over again

[Mnpaul]

4. You can always count on Clinton surrogates

to say something stupid. Trump will jump on it.

[wildeyed]

20. I think the Guam = South Carolina comment is still the stupidest.

If we are having a contest.

[Mnpaul]

26. How about.....

Jeb Bush would make a good President

5. There are also more not-smart people in America than smart people.

Case in point...

[wildeyed]

22. No, there are the same number of each.

If you are using the bell curve model. Case in point

[winter is coming]

23. Noooo.

There was a reason why I chose "not smart" instead of "dumb".

[wildeyed]

24. I did not realize there was a third category in your formula.

I guess it is really a continuum, anyway.

[UMTerp01]

6. Oh Edward....

[polly7]

7. D'OH.

He must rate every woman he sees. Creepy man.

[2cannan]

30. Sounds like something tRUMP would say or do, doesn't it? nt

[silvershadow]

8. Fast Eddie embarrasses himself. nt

[BillZBubb]

9. The media will be all over this!

OK, He's with Her (Majesty), so no.

[CharlotteVale]

10. Yet another sexist insult from a Clinton mouthpiece.

Nothing like calling most American women ugly. That is beyond creepy and he sounds just like Trump.

[BillZBubb]

12. Sounds like the typical Hillary surrogate trying to make Sexism an issue.

They always do but in boomerang fashion. They always end up making a sexist smear. Coincidence?

[CharlotteVale]

13. So true. As a woman I find it very telling.

[BillZBubb]

11. He needs to go to Bernie events, he'll find out he's wrong!

[hobbit709]

15. I'd rather hang with a plain looking woman with a brain than a 10 without one.

[wildeyed]

25. A brain is a prerequisite for 10-ness.

And a sense of humor. For both genders

[wildeyed]

16. Oh the horror!

A gaffe!!!!! Call the Gaffe Police!!!

[benny05]

16. Send in the Clowns

Right about the time HC is ending the primaries.

Fox is going to salivate on this one.

[senz]

18. I'm sure he's the only man close to Hill who would judge a women on her looks.

[BillZBubb]

29. I see what you did there!

[Ash_F]

19. He should probably write his speeches out beforehand

[AtomicKitten]

21. Oy. The Clinton surrogate shit show is back.

[hrmjustin]

27. Note to Ed Rendell;

YOU ARE NOT HELPING!

[speaktruthtopower]

28. Good football commentator...

should stay away from beauty contest judging.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. Oofdah

some shit you cannot even predict. A statement like this from a surrogate. M'kay

[eastwestdem]

32. The facts hurt a little, but it's certainly not a lie.

I really should look into Botox...

[timmymoff]

33. Clinton surrogates now sound like former Clinton donor Donald Trump

[toddwv]

34. Since when is Ed Rendell Hillary's 'surrogate?'

[timmymoff]

36. Has been for awhile

first day in the news cycle?

[Merryland]

35. I don't know which is worse -

Rendell's nasty comment or the "reporter" contending he thought Rendell was just "being funny."

[Cheese Sandwich]

37. I can just imagine if this had been a Bernie person like Cornel West or somebody.

I really do think Rachel Maddow and all those people would make a huge thing of it.

When is Bernie Sanders going to get his misogynist bros under control?

[spinboas]

38. Another establishment democrtat showing his true colors!

[mak3cats]

39. What I find to be the most offensive about this whole thread...

...is the inference that women will not vote for Trump based on one stupid comment (yes, I know he has thousands of those - I'm not defending Trump). Or the inference that women will not vote for Hillary based on one stupid comment by a supporter. We are, you know, capable of taking everything we see, hear, feel, read, or experience into consideration.

Case in point: Hillary lost my support very well all by herself - she didn't need any help from Rendell.
