Her "style" at the Commander in Chief forum? Her "demeanor"? WHAT THE HECK

Last edited Thu Sep 8, 2016, 06:42 PM - Edit history (1)

are the commentators talking about?

Is this a guy thing? Are there any women here who reacted negatively to Hillary's "style" or "demeanor"?

Trump's boastful "style" and bragging "demeanor" make me want to throw up.

I thought Hillary did just fine.

I first heard this on TV, but I've seen it in written reports, too. For example:

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/clinton-and-trump-are-not-ready-to-debate-227868

NEW YORK — Less than three weeks before the first general-election debate, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton shared a stage for the first time on Wednesday night — and neither appeared ready for the brightest lights of 2016 as they flashed the very liabilities that make their backers uneasy.

Clinton wobbled on style. Trump stumbled on substance.

They can shove that and the male sexist ' likability' thing up their asses.
That are the same group as the ' smile more' and ' she is shouting' crowd.

KMA boys.

Rump didn't smile. Rump was completely defensive. Rump blatantly lied. Rump made traitorous statements. Rump looked like shit. But it's all good, cause he's a GUY.
