Any surrogate who attacks HRC in the upcoming days over her health should be met with a swift denunciation of the speaker's sexist undertone, as in:
"Whoa whoa whoa, I don't like where this is going. Sounds a little sexist to me..."
"She got dizzy. I doubt you'd subject a man to these kinds of baseless accusations..."
"Frankly, as a woman, I'm a little offended that you're going down this sexist path of questioning Secretary Clinton's health..."
Stuff like that. I got to thinking, it's fucking unfair because she can't get out there and chop wood, drive a fucking John Deere or some stupid shit like that to prove her "toughness". She can't even raise her voice because it's "shrill".
So you know what? You want to talk about fainting? SEXIST!

meow2u3 to media: Prove you're not sexist. Hammer tRump on his health, taxes, ties to Russia, the fact that he has to go to Russia for loans because no American bank will lend money to him, etc.

(102 posts)Clinton has released detailed medical information, including test results. Trump has released a letter that is sketchy at best. Trump is a male and older than Clinton, yet he gets a pass.
Why do you suppose that is if not for a sexist double standard?

His mail-order dip-shit wife mentioned in an interview once that they had to stay in a Holiday Inn once and how it was "funny" but you could see from her face she didn't think it was funny. She made it sound like a backcountry camping trip in the Andes.
