Thanks all for your comments.
Curiously no one on the right explained their fear (?) or their dislike of women, especially strong, accomplished women. You saw that demonstrated often in words and images of Hillary, Michelle, Elizabeth, Nancy, Tammy, etc etc. debate or response becomes a 'no, you are'. Consider too that conservatives and right wing snowflakes want to manage a woman family decisions and were unable to even pass legislation on violence against women or equal rights. Their actions contradict their excuses. Nor did they mention Trump on where image matters, not substance concerning Carly, surely they remember. But complex topics are not for republicans as Trump's administration demonstrates. Simple finger pointing and boisterous talk, keeps them following like puppies. Trump is their masculinity personified and women must remain attractive but out of sight - Melania.
For others I will list Hillary's accomplishments and her work, since she became a focus of discussion, hardly the sign of a weak person. Book is linked at bottom.
