I wish she would stop making these very dumb mistakes, missteps, whatever one calls them. She's so smart and I don't know where some of this bullshit comes from and why she would think it would be a good idea to present that as sexist. Jeez.
I think this one is a strategy, not a mistake or a misstep. She wants to appeal to more feminists, I think.
And, she definitely wants to differentiate herself from Sanders and steer undecided liberals her way with her more aggressive stance on gun control.
Of course, the strategy seems transparent to some of us moderates and it's a turn off, but her campaign probably figures she'll gain more votes than she'll lose by it.
That's my guess anyway.
