It is sexist for Hillary to demand that there not be another woman on the ticket
There's simply no way around this.

1. Proof that she demanded such?

3. Not saying she has, so far this is just a rumor
Just saying if she does, that is sexist.

6. It isn't anything until she does
And maybe not then. Which you will never find out except from nameless "sources close to the campaign" who may be on point or may be serving some other purpose which none of us can divine. I don't think anyone said that that was her thought. What I heard was that, in the commentator's opinion, it might be her thought. Which says more about the commentator than it does about Hillary. Remember that the blather you hear is not necessarily evidence at all; in fact, most of it isn't.

11. It wasn't given as opinion, it was given as an unidentified source that "Hillary said" ......
it doesn't mean that's it true, but the fact that many believe it's plausible, that she possibly made such a remark, says a lot.

4. We shouldn't be giving rumors energy at all...
Arguing hypotheticals is a major waste of time, imho.

5. We speculate enough...
...not as much as cable news - but enough.

10. People who start rumors by using your method are the lowest form of life on the planet
Post some proof or delete your lying rumor.

15. It was MSNBC last night during the election coverage. The OP didn't make up it up .....
and he's not saying that it's factually true, but it was reported.

12. At a time when we need to unite the party, why attack for something so speculative????

16. I don't know about being sexist. I would say it is selfish and has a gender specific impact.

17. There is a way around it if she never said it
Shit on a stick, posting unsubstantiated rumors and then saying "there is no way around it" is kind of pathetic. Guess I've still got to hide the GDP bullshit, I was hoping it would smarten up around here now. Guess it's still too early for a little bit of class to come calling.
