Criticism of Hillary is Sexism, Says Colorado Governor Hickenlooper

Superdelegate sees sexism in criticism of Clinton

Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), a superdelegate who will back front-runner Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination, said Sunday she is unfairly criticized because of her gender.

"If she were a man, all this stuff wouldn't be at the same level. There's an awful lot of criticism ... over things that really aren't that — I guess a man, it wouldn't be brought up like that," Hickenlooper said on CBS's "Face the Nation."

I'm sure Bernie's team isn't telling him it is over and he needs to make it right by the democratic party instead of insisting the democratic party make it right by him.

If Hillary were a man, with all the baggage but without the Clinton machine to back her, she would have been out of the race a long time ago.

ordinary people would have been already in deep trouble for this, to say that a woman can simply apologize and all should be forgotten - sorry, that's sexist.

Or, more accurately made a lot of mistakes, which is no different than HRC. Her mistakes just always seem to let her and Bill cash in while keeping the lawman at arm's length. I guess if you're rich and connected you don't really have to worry about ever being held accountable for your "mistakes".
