Politico recently interviewed former political operatives from the 2016 presidential election for various candidates ranging from Marco Rubio to Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton and asked them what they believed it would take for the next female presidential candidate to win. “Double Take” has a few answers of their own.
Watch:
Hillary Clinton will be guest editing for Teen Vogue, and the youth magazine could not be any more politically biased with this choice. Teen Vogue has been trending politically left, and the choice for this former Democratic presidential nominee to guest edit their publication adds to their political bias.
A podcast and transcript of Politico published on the one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s presidential election titled “What the next female presidential candidate needs to do to win” featured former campaign affiliates from various candidates toward the end of the election cycle in both Democratic and Republican camps.
Jennifer Palmieri, former communications director for Clinton’s campaign, asserted that Hillary lost simply because she was a woman who had to play by a man’s rules. However, Amber Athey and Julia Nista believe that it’s not the gender that counts, but the qualifications and appeal of a president that count, and Clinton simply did not meet those standards.
Megyn Kelly, however, made a stance for women in a segment on NBC with LA Times columnist and cartoonist David Horsey, where she described that women at Fox News are not simply there because they are “blonde barbies” as he described, but instead that they have professional experience under their belts, qualifying them for their jobs.
