‘The View’ claims US is misogynistic after Hillary and Harris losses

So far, the Democrats have run two women out to defeat Republicans in presidential elections, and they both got crushed in the electoral college, and Trump even beat Harris in the popular vote.

The ladies on “The View,” or at least one of them, believe it is because the country is “misogynistic,” but the facts tell a different story.

The Hillary Election

Hillary, much like Harris, had a significant lead heading into the final stretch, but she made several mistakes that enabled Trump to narrow the margin and pull off the upset on election day.

Trump tapped into people’s emotions, while Hillary ran with the narrative that she was “not the bad orange man,” while also insulting the people who were supporting Trump.

Of course, there was also the mountain of corruption allegations that surrounded Hillary, both before and during the campaign.

Above all else, however, it was that the American people wanted to see DC shaken up, and with Hillary, it would have been business as usual, so they gave Trump a chance.

The Harris Election

Harris’ problems were far more widespread, and it started during the 2020 primary, where it was very apparent the American people did not like her.

When it came time for her to get the nod after Joe dropped out, Harris refused to call the Biden administration’s failed policies a mistake and distance herself from those policies, so, again, the people feared more of the same in DC if she won the office.

Harris also refused to do media, not holding press conferences and rarely taking questions, even on the fly. She was replicating Joe Biden’s basement strategy from the 2020 election.

But one reason I believe she truly failed was because the Democrat Party was not listening to voters, instead choosing to try to shame voters, especially young black men, into voting for her. And what do most people do when you tell them to do something… the complete opposite.

The View

That brings us to comments by "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin, who dug deep into her excuse book to say we are a "misogynistic country" because the Democrats ran the wrong woman out there both times. She stated, "This country is a misogynistic country, and this country is a country that, out of all the first world countries, hasn’t been able to elect a female president. That's just factual."

Co-hosts Sara Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin did push back, particularly Griffin, who stated, "Sexism, racism, absolutely exist. It absolutely is a factor in elections. It is not the determinative factor in the 2024 election and I disagreed strongly with President Biden when he basically blamed that on why Kamala Harris lost.

"She outperformed Joe Biden when he was in the race. The numbers went up. The fundraising went up. She had a short window to run, and I think all the data that we have when you see why she lost the battleground states, it’s not because a bunch of racist Democrats didn’t turn out for her. That's not why."

If you ask me, the American people want a woman president, but it still has to be the right woman. Had Nikki Hailey gone a different route, I think she would have been positioned perfectly for a real run in 2028, and I think Noem is now putting herself in that position, although I doubt she can win because of the scandals and baggage. Harris and Hillary did not lose because they are women; they lost because they were bad candidates, period.
