At least going by the new Washington Post follow up. It sounds like it was more about what sort of people Trump attracts, and a woman increasing turnout for those scumbags. Not as egregious, but still sexist imo. It's not just a Sanders opinion either. There's too many Democratic voters who have drawn the wrong lessons from 2016.

Fact is still Clinton beat Trump by a decent margin in the popular vote. She lost because the election was compromised, and some poor strategy for a few states made it close enough for Trump and his Russian allies to steal. Had nothing to do with her being a woman.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

Picked Sanders because i cant believe he'd be stupid enough to say it to ELIZABETH WARREN oldsoftie Jan 2020 #10
