Hillary Clinton’s supporters should be happy. Her lead over Donald Trump has expanded, and the Republican Party has imploded in the last week as the GOP nominee’s campaign imploded over his Twitter tirade and the fallout from the release of an “Access Hollywood” tape in which he boasted of sexual assaults. But Clinton’s cheerleaders in the media and popular culture are still not satisfied.
It’s not enough that the former secretary of state seems headed to an inevitable victory next month by virtue of the fact that more Americans think she is the lesser of two evils than those who believe Trump is the least awful choice. They are still upset about the fact that so many Americans don’t seem to like her and consider her untrustworthy. They think the only possible explanation is sexism and that means they believe America not only owes Hillary the presidency but also an apology for handing her the prize in a half-hearted manner.
