Rebecca Traister, author of Big Girls Don't Cry, discusses the anger and visceral hatred toward Hillary Clinton during the 2008 campaign. Distributed by Tubemogul.
There was some prejudice against Hilary Clinton as there was some prejudice against Barack Obama. What irritated me (& I suspect what irritated many people) is that she sometimes comes across as a scheming professional politician. She may not be more scheming than other professional politicians, but her husband for example was able to hide his scheming behind a charming facade. Obama also had a charming facade. She just doesn't have a charming facade which isn't to say she is a bad politician.
I see Traister is not only still running the Hillary campaign but just as one-sided as ever.
