You know, because the MSM is so pro-GOP.

Via Salon:

A month ago, most observers — even Republicans! — believed we would be inaugurating the first female president in January. But even though Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote by a margin that now exceeds 2.6 million votes, it was not enough to secure the necessary victory in the Electoral College. The woman who would be president lost in a campaign marked by stunning levels of misogyny, with the mainstream media getting caught up the right-wing belief that a woman who has risen so high must have some dirty secret lurking in her emails. To add insult to injury, she lost to a man who literally bragged about sexually assaulting women.

Taken together, the message sent to American women couldn’t be clearer: Stay in your place and let men monopolize the power, or you’ll be viciously smacked down with lies.

Under the circumstances, it would be understandable if the whole thing made women reluctant to run for office. Why bother, when our country is so sexist that a professed sexual assailant and obvious charlatan with no work experience can beat an immensely qualified woman through a campaign of barely disguised sexist innuendo?
