Presidential Candidate Seeks Women

election 2016 4[Blind Gossip] This Presidential Candidate really wants women on their side. Famous women. To that end, their team has been calling and emailing and texting famous actresses and singers to try and gain their endorsement. It’s not going so well.

No matter how famous [Candidate] is, we’re not having much luck getting the kind of response we want.

Around 90% of the contacts we make won’t even respond back, and for the the rest we just get a polite “No” from their agent or manager or publicist. They say that their client is too busy or not committed to any one candidate yet or isn’t even registered to vote.

Whatever. I’ve heard every excuse you can imagine. This is not going the way we thought it would.

    Candidate: Hillary.

    I think the Clinton camp actually thought the first female presidential candidate would actually have women everywhere, and celebrities especially, running forward to endorse her. It’s been quite their surprise that so few are committed.

    Also, I’m leaning towards writing in my own name. Not one of these candidates seems worthy of my vote.

    Candidate: TRUMP

    [Optional] Which Presidential Candidate are you leaning towards right now? HILLARY

  3. abusedInk says

    This has to be Trump. The clue says “famous” – why would you describe any other political candidate in this fashion? Hillary and Bernie have at lease a few famous people each, neither would be despairing over lack of ladies in their court. Meanwhile, Trump has been accused of misogyny multiple times so he seems the most likely to want famous women on team!trump.

    • abusedInk says

      And Trump willingly stood next to Sarah Palin and let her prattle one while barely looking like he could tolerate it. I don’t think he would have done that if he had more palatable choices.

  4. goodbuddy says

    This must be Trump or Hillary.

    I am feeling the Bern! He will be a great president. Another FDR.

  5. peppermint twist says

    It could be any of the republican candidates but I’ll put my guess as Trump. Anyone looking for an honest politician will be waiting a long time, none are honest. If truth be told Hillary is your best bet, she is the most experienced candidate, which is important. Those of you who think Donald is the answer you really need to think a bit harder about that. governments are being petitioned to prevent him being allowed to enter their countries, you have to realize you’ll be cast adrift,…

  6. Pretty Kitty says

    It’s Trump.

    and I’m voting for Sanders. 100% Not every dream he has is going to make it through Congress, but he’s headed in the right direction and he actually cares about our country…not himself…like Trump!

  7. worldsoldestkitten says

    Not Trump — he has the Grizzly Mama (blarg) supporting him. My guess is Cruz, because I have yet to meet a single female who likes him. Failing that, Hillary.

    Me? I just switched parties after a lifetime in the GOP so I can vote for Bernie in the primaries. I’m feeling the Bern, baby!

  8. jeremybrown181 says

    If the famous women are from music or hollywood I doubt they would give Trump or any other republican a “polite no”. This is a democrat, and since the author went out of their way to use gender non-specific pronouns, and Hillary is scrambling to shore up support she has lost to Sanders it has to be her.

    Lena Dunham likes her, can’t think of any others. Either they’re supporting Sanders like Susan Sarandon or keeping quiet until the primary is over.

  10. PippaLuv says

    This is 100% Hillary! Long time lurker, first time commenting. Read on DM yesterday about fundraiser in NYC at spin cycle that was a total bust. Seats were to be a $2,400 donation and such bad turn out, they sent update for $50 seats and still many open spots. Plus Susan Sarandon blasted her yesterday and supports Bernie.

    FeeltheBern!

  11. rarefied says

    I think this is Bernie Sanders. His campaign is apparently doing damage control at the moment because some Berniebros are harassing women and Hillary supporters.

    I don’t care who wins, as long as it’s a Democrat.

  12. felicia says

    Could be any of them.
    Optional: I’m team Hilary unless Bernie taps Elizabeth Warren. Then I’m switching 🙂

  13. Monchichi says

    It’s Hillary duh! E-mailing people refers to her e-mail scandal that may cause her to be charged. She is trying to emphasize girl power.

    • CelebrityGirl says

      Ohhhh, nice catch on the “emailing” bit – I overlooked that when I guessed Trump! I can’t imagine him having much luck garnering female support, either, but “emailing” definitely tips it toward Hillary.

  17. Amy123 says

    Probably Trump because he has to constantly put up with the crybaby Liberals on PC, and he has the biggest target on his back because he is doing so well. Trump is my man. We HAVE to get somebody in who is not working for the establishment and cannot be bought, Trump is our only hope.

    • smalldeer says

      Amy, do you really think Trump gives a rat’s hump about the common people? He has NO IDEA of how to run a country and the rest of the world’s leaders will NEVER respect him. He’s a buffoon and an ugly one at that.

  18. FauxyVixen says

    Fiorina

    I’m committed to the Democrat whoever that may be. The Republicans are just a horror show.

  20. xphile101 says

    Has to be Bernie Sanders, since Hillary has all of these famous women stumping for her. (Although I don’t think Lena Dunham is that great of a choice…) Abby Wambach went right from the soccer field to making cold calls for Hillary last month.

    I’m leaning towards Sanders, myself, although whichever Dem gets the nomination will get my vote. Is “Terrified of Trump” its own political party yet?

  23. brittpinkie says

    Candidate: Hilary

    [Optional] Which Presidential Candidate are you leaning towards right now? None…I’m Australian ?

  24. im60schild says

    Sounds like there is hell toupee. I doubt any female would publicly support The Donald. Personally I’m feeling the Bern.

  26. roseblue says

    candidate: hillary. she wants to convince people she has the female voters locked up. trouble is, she doesn’t. we don’t vote for gender, we vote for who would make the better president.

    optional: bernie all the way! it’s we the people, not they the lobbyists. plus he’s been standing up for LGBT people for more than twenty years, and protesting police brutality and segregation since he was in college.

  27. Jinkies says

    Candidate: Jeb!

    I am at a loss as to whom I can support with confidence, at this point. I am so disillusioned with the candidates who are running in this election that it is stressing me out to no end, particularly with the issues of terrorism, the need to close the borders and to properly vet anyone coming to the United States from a foreign country , and the dwindling economy and loss of industry.

    • bamazalea says

      Yeb! is not for closing any border. He is in cahoots w/CofC and they want amnesty because that will equal cheap labor. Don’t let this stress you. This is the process for weeding them out. Do your homework on all the candidates and keep in mind that almost everything you read or hear about a candidate is biased in one way or another. Follow the money, it will tell you a lot.

  28. DrunkyMcPuncherson says

    I really hope this is Donald Trump. I think he’s the most famous of the candidates, including Hillary.

    Not leaning one way or another right now. waiting to see how things play out.

  31. MizDubs says

    i think it’s hilary; she had the low-rent version of Selena Gomez at a rally recently (demi lavoto) and I remember thinking, wow, that’s all she can get? Susan Sarandon and others are coming out in support of Bernie.

  33. Phillipmcd says

    Trump

    Not many big Hollywood names are going to publicly support him (probably do it privately.) Hollywood is liberal. It could hurt their career.

  34. Carolina Girl says

    Probably Trump.

    This is sad. Why does this have to be Famous Women?

    Searching for support from women in Hollywood who pretend to be somebody else for a living. Why not look for women know what it is like to live from payday to payday, who work for a living and come home to cook and clean and do laundry while helping kids with homework, getting kids ready for bed and then finally fall into bed dead tired, just to get up and start over again?

  35. elliedee says

    Candidate: Hilary Clinton

    [Optional] Which Presidential Candidate are you leaning towards right now?

    My Gram-Gram as a write-in candidate.

  40. lagally says

    That would be Hilary – quiet bill’s victims up- Clinton
    Trump has loads of female celebs including a few rap stars.

    • DrunkyMcPuncherson says

      Damn, I got all excited when I read your comment. “Awesome! There’s a new candidate? Can’t stand the others so hopefully this new one is good!”. I still say ‘Irina for president!’ ?

  45. tiger13 says

    hillary

    I don’t like her, but I still hope she gets the dem nom. sanders is too risky of a bet, and all of the GOP frontrunners are awful. so I’d rather she be president than trump/cruz/etc

  47. Debbie Do says

    Either Trump or Carly Fiorina. Hillary already has endorsements from a lot of famous women so it’s not her.

    • missmissy says

      Leaning toward Bernie. But whatever the outcome, I will not even consider voting for any of the GOP candidates. Cruz is dangerous, Trump is a crazy panderer, and Jeb is too desperate. Rubio is their only shot and if the blind earlier is true, he has some pretty ugly skeletons in the closet.

  52. ninanicole says

    Don’t care. I’m voting for Bernie, he doesn’t need to beg or pay for celebrity endorsements. But I’m sure it’s Trump, ewww.

  59. jonty30 says

    Hilary Clinton is trying to use the gender divide as a pathway to the White house, as Obama used the racial divide.

    It’s not working.

    Go Cruz!

  61. tallzeez says

    Is this Hilary? I haven’t seen a lot of famous women supporting her besides Lena Dunham and Katy Perry

  62. stillmb says

    God, I hope this is Trump. Women are “bimbos” and “not very bright” if we annoy this misogynist.

    Optional.. Don’t know, yet, but I’m leaning toward Hillary because she’s got the goods on probably everyone and has the balls to act while still keeping diplomacy in mind.

  64. TerryP says

    Sounds like Trump, calling all the D-list celebrities that have been on his show “The Apprentice.”

  69. JustaGuess123 says

    Got to be O’Malley – most egotistical one out there. The fact that he hasn’t dropped out says a lot about his ego.

  70. Pixley says

    Candidate: Hillary Clinton.

    Her loss of support among women has been well-publicized. Also “it’s not going the way we thought it would” could only be referring to her — no male candidate would think their campaign would turn on actress and singer endorsement.

  71. Nataliexyz says

    I’m wondering if this is Hillary Clinton, because I doubt Republicans would bother trying to get Hollywood actresses/singers to endorse.

    And I haven’t noticed a ton of female support coming out of Hollywood, like they did for Obama.

    I’m voting for Rand Paul as long as he’s in the race. He’s most aligned with my views. And my biggest concern is the national debt… p.s. folks, we’re broke.

  74. missmarian says

    I think this is Hilary.

    I’m supporting Sanders. It says something about this election, when a self avowed socialist sounds like the least insane, honest politician.

  75. johnnyjewel says

    this could be a trick question/blind and actually be Hilary Clinton instead of one of the majority sexist conservative candidates

  76. Aurora says

    Candidate: Bernie Sanders

    [Optional] Which Presidential Candidate are you leaning towards right now? Hillary, but it doesn’t matter since I’m not American.

  78. lahteb says

    The reference to the candidate’s game makes me think Trump.

    However, I can imagine this being Bernie Sanders. A fair number of male cells have voiced their support, but I can’t think of any women offhand.

  79. kimbers says

    Sounds like trump the chump 🙂 cant stop saying that bc I always picture him as a chimpanzee, with a comb over, while in a suite. I shouldn’t be so mean to chimpanzee though.

  82. Littlehorse says

    Only Trump’s and Bush’s camps would be arrogantly presumptuous enough to believe famous, rich, beautiful women of education and substance would flock to their side and endorse their candidates!
    The Rich and Beautiful – especially those in Hollywood, LA, etc. – are by and large Democrats, after all! what do they need with stodgy old musty Republicans who hate everything they stand for and love! What a joke!

    • troggles says

      Leaning towards hillary for this blind, not voting for her. I have no clue who I’ll be voting for at this moment.

  86. stolidog says

    Candidate needing women: Trump-Cruz-Rubio-Christie-Bush-Carson-Fiorina

    Candidate I am fully supporting: Clinton/Warren *2016!

  89. CelebrityGirl says

    Candidate: Trump

    [Optional] Which Presidential Candidate are you leaning towards right now? Clinton

  90. TulipInBloom says

    No clue on the candidate. As for me, I live in California and I’m a moderate conservative so my vote never ends up counting so sometimes I wonder why I even vote. Even so, this year the candidates are all lacking a lot – mostly in the ethics department. I can say I would NEVER vote for Trump or Cruz. If they end up on the ticket I will not vote period. This is a sad group to choose from.

    • DarlingPenny says

      I think it’s Trump in the blind. Anyway, I also wanted to say, please don’t give up on participating in the democratic process. I agree that the candidates right now are BEYOND ridiculous most of them, but please still vote. It’s our duty when we live in a democracy : )

  91. Tinkerbell says

    Trump, that not-misogynistic-at-all, Megyn Kelly-dodging, Rosie O’Donnell-insulting, “she was bleeding from her wherever”-spouting, feminist ally?

  92. I Am PunkA says

    Hilary Clinton. And she is a self serving, dishonest, slippery and does not have the character to be President. Man, this country honestly needs a solid woman in the office, but it is not her. She is a viper.

  105. jeanmarieok says

    Hilary Clinton.

    I am leaning towards whoever is running against Trump and Clinton. That third party candidate had better be good.

  108. Seahawks12 says

    Candidate: Hillary

    Not leaning towards anyone that is currently a candidate. I think that if Mitt Romney were to be “drafted” I would jump aboard that train. The GOP candidates remind me of the clown car at the circus where the clowns just keep rolling out of the car. On the Democrat side there’s Bernie Sanders who reminds me of the absent minded professor, and then there’s Hillary. Hillary Clinton who, in 1 year from now, could wake up in either the White House or “Club Fed”.

  110. kelno19 says

    Either Trump or Hilary. Honest to God, I have no idea who I’ll vote for – these candidates are the best this country has to offer? Oh, dear.

    • Baloobie says

      I agree, it is a sad state when we cannot even produce one honest, deserved, and trustworthy candidate. Why anyone would side with Hilary is a mystery to me – besides the nefarious activities, she can’t even control her own husband, how will she run a country? At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who gets elected President while our Congress is a bunch of stubborn, self-serving babies whose refusal to cooperate will just continue to impede any sort of progress. Peace out!

    • DarlingPenny says

      The political process is a mess, I totally agree! That’s why it’s important that you DO vote! Vote for anyone you like, but for the love of god, VOTE (:

    • MrsBrady says

      While I cosign with most of what you said, it’s not her job to control her husband. That’s all on him.

    • KateArms says

      How about ‘her husband could not control himself’? I’ve heard this comment too many times regarding Hillary and I am not even her biggest proponent.

    • NativeAtlantaGirl says

      Hill had Demi Levato last week and Katy Perry just before that, so doubt that would be it. Unless the indictments come down, then there will be crickets

  112. iheartkoko says

    Candidate: Hillary Clinton

    [Optional] Which Presidential Candidate are you leaning towards right now? Bernie Sanders

  114. Valfunde says

    Candidate is either Trump or Clinton. I’m really thinking it’s Trump, though.
    I’m leaning toward Sanders myself- I’m feeling the Bern! (Yet I still am really hoping Hillary will end up getting the nomination.)

    • wendybar says

      You do realize that if Bernie wins, YOUR taxes will go up too, don’t you?? Even if he taxes the rich 100% of their earnings, it is not enough to pay for all of the free things he wants to give away….Look at Venezuela…that is what we will be. Hillary is a lying crook. WHY would you want someone who is such a liar to become president?? I hope Hillary gets the nomination too, because she will get slaughtered by whomever runs against her….

    • DarlingPenny says

      Well, since you started..
      You do realize that the services that the taxes will pay for are going to the taxpayers, right? I imagine not, since you wrote that comment. The money is going to pay for things FOR the taxpayers. Things you actually need, in stead of letting billionaires collect huge piles of cash and watch the rest of the country burn. Now they’ll just get big piles in cash in stead of huge. Everyone’s taxes will go up, but people who earn the most will be paying percentually more.

    • stolidog says

      well, let’s see. What makes you think your guys are so hot? Rubio is a closet case, Christie basically killed people by shutting down that bridge, Bush has nothing going for him but his name, Cruz is the most hated man in the senate, Carson wants to tax people based on a biblical tithing system, Fiorina sent tens of thousands of jobs oversees, Trump is a buffoon, and all of them want to take rights away from half of America’s citizens….

      Good luck.

    • Cloudy says

      Hi Wendy. Sanders’ plan is to raise the tax rate for people with an annual income of $250K or more. Income below that will stay the same.

    • lagally says

      Amen
      I am a democrat but not voting for benghazi hilary
      Like sanders but taxes will go up and he will not stem the tide of migrants and that poor murdered Swedish girl and all the girls being harassed and raped by men migrants who believe women are dogs is SCARY!
      No to that!
      I’m voting Trump! He will create jobs, stop outsourcing american jobs( tyco, johnson and Pfizer just moved to other countries bc of taxes)
      Keep out rapist migrants too

    • mbs59er says

      This election is going to be about “Change” just like the 2008 election was. Unless there is a major 3rd Party challenger, the only Republican that Hillary would beat would be Bush. Everyone else would ride the “Change” momentum to victory over her. Sanders has less than a 0% chance of winning because the electorate already thinks that Obama and the Dems moved too far to the Left; they aren’t going to vote to go even further Left.

    • mbs59er says

      To Cloudy: Whenever a politician promises that they will only tax a certain portion of the public, they are lying. The income tax was sold to the public by Woodrow Wilson as only affecting the top earners as well. All tax increases feed the government hunger for more tax increases. What Democrats fail to realize is that the public will not support another tax increase until there is more accountability for the money that is already being collected.

    • smalldeer says

      I love how people are saying those voting for Bernie want “free” stuff. Um no, I want MY tax dollars used to benefit regular Americans, not the rich.

    • susiQ22R says

      I agree with you, wendybar. People want taxes to be turned around to benefit them, rather than benefit the rich. But people don’t realize that politicians have done an excellent job of distracting the general public by pitting the rich against the poor while they refuse to approve term limits for themselves and instead sneakily vote themselves raises while we’re distracted with class wars. If you work your a$$ off and earn a decent salary, why should your hard-earned money benefit welfare…

    • mbs59er says

      This comment clearly comes from Hillary. She is attempting to energize women voters by making her campaign a cause, instead of about continuing Obama’s policies or about her serial dishonesty. Anyone who thinks that this is from a Republican knows absolutely nothing about the GOP and the way that they think. Almost no one in the GOP gives a rip about what any celebrity thinks or supports.
      As of now I don’t have a favorite, but I think that Rubio will eventually end up winning.

    • mbs59er says

      To Valfunde and anyone else who is “Feeling the Bern”: Do you just think that the rules and laws that a Socialist would force upon society wouldn’t apply to you? Socialism is a system designed to create only two classes; the Ruling Class and the Working Class. Socialism creates a system where the middle class is drained and made poor in order to fund the Working Class. Eventually the State runs out of money to provide all of the…
