@ HRC being the most untrusted candidate when there are Presidents who actually broke the law, killed millions, and got investigated for cover-ups, destroyed the economy, etc.

But by all means, HRC is the worst because she deleted some emails.

As he should. I have no idea why NBC chose an entertainment journalist (TODAY is pure entertainment these days) when they have so many amazingly qualified political journalists who could have done the job.

I hate to say it, but it's because she is a woman

Don't feel bad about saying it. It's an uncomfortable point that many don't want to acknowledge.

It horrified me how Matt was so okay with Trump basically saying: "I'm going to get the generals to plan how to take down ISIS [as if they don't already] and then compare their ideas to my top secret plan [which for all we know could involve nuclear weapons, torture and an array of war crimes]."

In no sane world should such a reply fly.. The first half is what pretty much what happens already as military experts obviously advise the president of decisions and the second half is a smokescreen he's deploying to make himself look prepared when clearly he isn't in any way shape or form and furthermore you can still give details on a "plan" without violating the element of surprise he argues it'd give away.

Such a joke and yet he gets a total free pass... don't even get me started on that women in the military comment

I know this is the reason. I've said it before and always get met with resistance. She's a woman who can't make a mistake without being crucified, surrounded by men who have done way worse in their bid to get to office and in office. But she will always be "the most hated" for whatever reason they decide.

The good thing about this is that Hillary will go down in history as a woman who was a trailblazer and who fought to the top despite the numerous efforts to defeat her. Lincoln, JFK, and Obama to name a few didn't make their mark in history without challenges. Look at the bright side.

She works ten times harder when knocked down. I bet all the little criticism she got will be addressed by debate time. I thought the tough questions were good because she's going to get a lot more pretty soon.

Awww poor Gary. He clearly didn't know. And his answer afterwards wasn't the best either.

Ultimately we just have to remember that Hillary is standing strong through all this backlash so that future women won't have such a hard time. As the first female major nominee, she's bound to be a huge target.

I'm confident that once she actually wins and people see her doing a good job, she'll end up being well liked.

Her unpopularity has nothing to do with her gender.

It was just one gaffe, I'm sure he''ll get an opportunity soon to flex his knowledge on foreign policy at some point.

Keep telling yourself that. The media has always treated her differently because she's a woman. She talk about her voice, her apperance, her health, etc.

That is something the males don't get asked. Hillary should not be disliked while Bill is still sitting at 55%.

Trump is being sued for fraud, sued for sexual harassment, has insulted women, veterans, and POC across the country, meanwhile his supporters stay fuming @ "crooked Hillary" for deleting emails and Benghazi. She's unfit to be POTUS because she's a war monger, yet Trump is asking why can't we use nuclear weapons cause he doesn't have time to be diplomatic.

On one hand they complain that she's too aggressive, meanwhile protesting that a woman can't be POTUS because she won't be tough enough on our enemies. Seriously, WTF?

Trump gets called out for his temperament and looking orange all the time. Regardless, none of those things would have any effect on her polls. It's her own actions and they way she handles controversy that sinks herself. Gender is not the factor you want it to be.

It's not the sole factor but it is a factor, it's foolish to deny that.

Let's just remind ourselves of the hilarious Trump Voter expose video a few weeks ago.
"A woman is not fit to be president, she could have a hot flush and press the nuclear button"

There are people out there who simply do not want a woman to be president.

In this day and age it's probably less than 5% of the country. Not enough to give her the low numbers she has.

If Clinton campaign was happy with last night's forum, they wouldn't be looking to do a presser this morning to provide new Clinton sound

Criticize her for not doing press conferences, then criticize her for doing one. What the hell?

She's damned is she does, damned if she doesn't.
