Hillary Clinton didn't lose because of sexism

53 percent of white women favored Trump. Given some of Trump's statements and behaviors toward women, that seems shocking, until you consider the role partisanship plays in American politics.

Make no mistake. At the end of the day, Republicans elected Trump. Without loyal support from Republicans and white Protestant evangelicals, Trump could not have pulled off his upset.

Yet he needed more to win. Trump found his path to victory with the help of white working-class voters in blue states.

But this election was not primarily a referendum on whether America is ready to elect a woman to the presidency. Hillary Clinton brought unique talents and experience to this race, as well as distinct liabilities. Fatally, she was the all-too-familiar face of the establishment in a burn-the-house-down moment.
