Hillary Clinton’s supporters launched a social media campaign on Thursday called #ManEnoughForHillary in an effort to get men to declare their support for a female president.

The effort, of course, met with immediate social media mockery, because there are certainly lots of men who are comfortable enough in their sexuality to vote for a woman, but perhaps not this particular woman (though a woman in an ad directed at men might have been more effective).

Hillary’s stock photo hipster appears to have served as a pitch guy before in a very prominent place—and one that Clinton may be concerned about. It turns out that the guy who is #ManEnoughforHillary is the face of sexually transmitted diseases in Portland.

On the plus side, at least Hillary is raising awareness of a very important problem in greater downtown Portland.
