    Default Hillary Clinton swipes at ‘likability’ gauge for female candidates

    ormer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday swiped at critics and pundits who have been scrutinizing the “likability” of certain female politicians.

    Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential nominee, made her comments during an appearance in Manhattan alongside New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and just days after Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren announced she was exploring the possibility of challenging President Trump in the 2020 election.

    “There’s been a lot of talk recently whether our country is ready for women leaders and that really takes me back,” Clinton said during her speech at Barnard College. “Today, I want to thank all of you for your persistence.”

    Clinton added: “I know many of you and can attest how smart, determined, effective, and, dare I say, likable you all are.”

    Clinton’s comments come amid a slew of news stories and opinion pieces questioning how Warren can avoid falling into the same trap that befell Clinton during her presidential bids – pointing to the “likability” factor.

    Politico ran one story quoting numerous Warren associates and advisers who – while dismissing the claims – said they were concerned the Massachusetts lawmaker would get lumped in with Clinton as someone who is cold and unlikable.

    Women are judged by such things as sufficient likeability? They are not running for cheerleader or host of a reality program. They are fully capable and experienced people who actually appreciate the law and running the government. It will great to get back to that again. Oh but Cortez was dancing, what about that? Liz Warren is as qualified as you can get and her heart is the the right place. She wants to help the consumers against corporations and banks.
