Clinton acknowledged that Democrats need to do a better job reaching working-class Americans, but she added<br />that part of her problem was that many voters were already struggling with tumult in their lives, “and you layer on the first woman president over that, and I think some people, women included, had real problems.”<br />I asked what advice she would offer the countless young women who have been galvanized by her<br />loss — in a way they never were by her candidacy — to become more engaged in public life.<br />Clinton said she was working on a book about her campaign<br />and wrestling with why so many women — including 53 percent of white women voters — supported Trump.<br />In contrast, for women in traditionally male fields, it’s a trade-off: The more successful or ambitious<br />a woman is, the less likable she becomes (that’s also true of how women perceive women).<br />“Oh my gosh,” she said, “by the time they finished with me, I was Typhoid Mary.”<br />We talked about lots of issues, including Syria — she advocated attacking Syrian air strips; hours later, President Trump did just<br />that — and she was ready to fire a few salvos of her own.<br />“I am passionate about the unfinished business of the 21st century,” she said, “the rights and opportunities for women and girls.”<br />I think Donald Trump made the right call with his missile strike on Syria.
