Calling for Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi to leave leaves Mr. Martin dangerously exposed to the "see-this-is-why-more-women-don't-get-into-politics-misogyny!" crowd, even though everything he wrote makes perfect sense and has nothing to do with gender.  Unfortunately for the Dems, the entirely blinkered path to electing the first female President left them unable to see that Hillary Clinton was a very flawed candidate, and the sight of her and Bill campaigning together brought back terrible memories and thoughts of "not again!"  Even now, many commentators are still pointing to her gender as the reason she lost, which is ridiculous.  No doubt some Americans did not want a female president, but even perfectly reasonable ones who could never vote for Trump did not want Hillary as president.  But Dems have only themselves to blame - they let the Clintons hang around and be the standard-bearers of their party.
