2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt's bad enough when republicans in 08 thought women would confuse Clinton and Palin
and vote for Palin, because they didn't get Clinton.
It's a whole another thing when liberals do it.
Really shows you the underlying misogyny in their positions, that they believe a GOP female candidate would confuse women into voting for the Republican. Or believe that women vote for her without understanding her policy positions.
I understand policy just fine and I picked the candidate whose policies I believed in, whose knowledge (both breadth and depth) I trusted in.
(also, i didn't vote for Obama only because he is black, the fact that he is black was an added bonus)

As for Haley, if they really think a governor who signed a 20-week abortion bill is going to be confused with Hillary Clinton, they should probably take a step back and contemplate their biases.
