Women Take to Anonymous App to Explain Why They WON’T Be Voting for Hillary
(Daily Caller) – Self-proclaimed women’s rights champion and likely Democratic nominee for president Hillary Clinton doesn’t have every female voter convinced she’s their pantsuited savior.
These women have now taken to anonymous posting platform Whisper in droves to explain why the former Secretary of State’s gender isn’t enough to gain their votes.
‘I’m a women (sic) and I’m scared for Hillary to become president. We need to empower women but not by giving a Psycho control,’ reads one of the meme-live messages, which all have Hillary head shots as the background.
The writers claimed to come from across the political spectrum.
‘I’m a woman and a democrat and Hillary actually scares me. I think she has good ideas, but not nearly enough and she can’t execute them,’ reads one post.
The posts also appeared to come from women of different races. One poster identified as a black woman as well as a left-leaning voter.
‘I’m a black, left leaning women but I won’t be voting for Hillary. I don’t know if I can trust her – she gets along too well with the rest of them.’
And many of the posters claimed to be feminists.

‘I’m a feminist. No, I don’t support Hillary Clinton just because she’s a female. I support Bernie Sanders because he’s the candidate that promises to do the most for women’s rights.’
In addition to Sanders, Hillary is now facing possible competition from fellow Democratic party standby Joe Biden.
Hillary has been responding to Biden’s posturing in kind.
‘We are working really hard to lock in as many supporters as possible,’ Clinton told reporters on Friday. ‘This is really about how you put the numbers together to secure the nomination.’
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders predicted at the DNC meeting that top leaders would eventually migrate to his campaign. ‘Let’s see where we are in three months,’ Sanders told reporters.
Clinton’s campaign has taken steps in South Carolina, where Biden has deep ties, to showcase her clout. She recently picked up the endorsements of two former governors, Jim Hodges and Dick Riley, the latter who served as education secretary during Bill Clinton’s administration.
During a trip to the Iowa State Fair earlier this month, former Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin joined Clinton and endorsed her campaign. When she returned to Iowa this week, she was joined by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, a former Iowa governor who wrote in an op-ed in the Gazette of Cedar Rapids that he intended to caucus for her, ‘plain and simple.’
Clinton’s fundraising apparatus has extensive overlap with Biden’s, causing some awkwardness among their donors.
‘I plan on supporting Secretary Clinton. She is the announced candidate,’ said George Tsunis, a Long Island, New York, businessman and a top donor to Obama and Biden’s 2012 re-election campaign. ‘If the vice president were to announce his candidacy and run, I would be supporting the vice president.’
