My grandmother hates Hillary Clinton. HATES her. Vehemently and bitterly. But when pressed, she can’t exactly express a reason for it.
Right. Yep. Uh-huh. Tell me more about how this isn’t sexist, guys.
But not because they’re sexist or anything.
It has “zero to do with gender”...to you. That clearly is not the case when it comes to some of the male newspeople/commentators bringing this shit up.
Trump did his entire acceptance speech speaking as if there was no microphone nor amplifiers in that convention hall. He never modulated, just kept yelling into the microphone no matter how quiet the audience. Hillary only shouted to rise over the audience noise. when they quieted, her volume reduced.
