I stopped watching as soon as I saw where it was from.

What I consider the *visible* sexist campaign Obama run was in how he encouraged women to share their "I'm a woman and I'm not voting for Hillary, I'm voting for Barack" stories. This line of soft attack wasn't so much on HC, but on female voters who were undecided or weak in their support for HC. It was use of marketing to divide the female vote. At its most benevolent it was simply, "I'm a woman and I'm voting for Obama." At its worst, "I'm not voting with my vagina!"

I would not say that Clinton lost because of sexism, necessarily, but sexist attacks opened up a weakness to be exploited. Anything could be thrown at her, no matter how low, and the press would run with it.
