76. Does she want to be judged on her own merits or not?
The argument seems to flip depending on what's most convenient at any given moment. You can say "the Clintons" beat the the GOP for POTUS, but scoff at tying Hillary Clinton to her husband's less popular policies.

You can say her gender shouldn't matter, but drop it the moment her gender could be used as an advantage ('wouldn't it be great to have a female president', or 'her critics are sexists').
