No matter how it is presented, more white males support her opponent than support Hillary. Although, I don't doubt that most of them do genuinely prefer Sanders' agenda, there has always been an underlayer of sexism when it has come to Hillary. Same as in 2008, many of the comments on the internet and in the media have nothing to do with her policies and everything to do with her appearance and even her marriage. How many times have Bill's peccadilloes been mentioned on this board? Because, of course, she's responsible for her husband's behavior. Right? At least they haven't descended to the RW meme that if her husband didn't "want her", why should America?

Because according to the link:

.......................Clinton........Sanders

Male (41%)........50%............50%

Female (59%).....63%............37%


So men are 50/50 on who they vote for. It's only women who are divided in favor of Hillary, and it's obvious that gender plays a part in that role.

It is you trying to make this sexist again.

And about race. Again it's 50/50 for whites

.................................Clinton.........Sanders

White (59%)................50%.............50%

Black (22%).................75%.............25%

Hispanic/Latino (14%)....64%..............36%


Whites are evenly split, while blacks and Latinos favor Hillary.

We aren't making it about race or sex...you guys are.

But all the primary voting in all 50 states will need to be completed and reviewed before I'll agree to anything more than that. Btw, many of us have not yet had the privilege of casting a primary vote. I know a generalization when I see one.

Black (22%)

75% 25%

Hispanic/Latino (14%)

64% 36%


Clinton Sanders
White men (25%)

43% 57%


White women (34%)
56% 44%




To me it looks like white males and women are split on voting for a White woman vs a Jewish male?

The Clintons supported the war on drugs and mass incarceration. Hillary even today still favors the death penalty which disproportionally kills minorities far more than whites.

The Clintons don't hurt white people, or rich white people.

But, people can vote how they want.
