Trump attacks Clinton on gender, risking backlash from women

-- Trump has a 70% unfavorable and 23% favorable image among women. That's, uh, -47%. -- Men also give Trump net negative rating, but it is significantly better: 58% to 23%. That's, uh, -35% -- Trump's gender gap is larger than any other major candidate's

Hmm, I wonder why...

Democratic Committee National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told CNN on Wednesday. “Every single day when Donald Trump opens his mouth, he does more to alienate women.”

Trump has driven a campaign of hate so wide and deep the Grand Canyon has filed suit for copyright infringement.

Trump's plan to pick-up bigots and racists extended into religious prejudice for Muslims and promotion of violence at his loyalty rallies in the States.

Trump pivoted to misogyny early in the campaign attacking FOXNews' Megan Kelly and then magnified his ignorance in a celebration of his recent victory in GOP/Tea primaries in northeastern States.

Trump now faces the reality of a political Party strapped to the ticking bomb of a Trump candidacy that threatens riots at the RNC convention in Cleveland, Ohio this summer.

Presidential Trump also threatens every responsible Republican as the Party of Lincoln will either cower before the bigot or finally stand on its hind legs and walk away from the malignant hatred Trump has based his entire campaign on.

Trump has destroyed the Republican party. That's a notable accomplishment before losing to Clinton in November. Give him credit for that.

And the brand name he sold at Macy's before they dumped the bigot in the road.

Just like all Americans will in November.

"...refusing to back down from targeting Clinton, 68, for what he called “playing the woman’s card.”

I guess Trump is playing the "Neanderthal" card.

“Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner said of Cruz, who is a staunch fiscal conservative and who angered many of his colleagues in Congress by leading a government shutdown in 2013.

“I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life,” Boehner said.

Boehner's "son of a bitch" has found a soul mate in Carly Fiorina. A match made in heaven.

Wow, he did it again. xD. This is sooo amusing!

About two-thirds of women had an unfavorable view of the billionaire businessman and former reality TV star, while 54 percent of men had a negative view of him.

66% of women and 54% of men find Trump repulsive.

Bigots and racists made Trump what he is.

I guess Trump is playing the "Neanderthal" card.

Ha ha! You ain't just a whistling Dixie.

18 Real Things Donald Trump Has Actually Said About Women

I wonder why he's at a minus 47% approval with the ladies....

Trump attacks Clinton on gender

Not surprising for someone who is attacking people on their citizenship and/or skin color.

I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life,” Boehner said.

Wow. That's a pretty damning assessment of Cruz and one that can be entirely believed. Cruz really is a detestable sort of man. But then again, Trump is no slouch in the asshat department, being a bombastic imbecile who believes, among many other jaw-droppingly insane things, that a woman's role in society is to shut up and look pretty.

I really wish Kasich had gained more traction. He's the only decent human being out of the three still running on the GOP side, by far. A contest between him and either Clinton or Sanders could have potentially been a civil affair. Instead, what's coming up in November is going to be horrific.

Regardless of who wins the GOP nomination, the Republican Pary is effectively finished after this election cycle. After spending the last 40 years pandering to and cultivating hatred, racism, religious tolerance, and just plain selfish meanness from its constituency, while trying to project this image of a hands-off, "fiscal conservatism" and "small government" (except when championing Christian doctrine, it would seem) political force, it has no one to blame but itself for its impending demise.

You can't be all things to all people -- particularly when many of those people you're trying to please are jerks to begin with. Those types of folks will inevitably come knocking on your door with an invoice, demanding immediate payment on 40 years of implied promises to normalize hate, racism, and religious intolerance.

Enter Donald "I'll Be Whatever You Want Me To Be" Trump.

Good luck, conservative America. You're in for a bumpy ride.

Trump's campaign manager, who answered to arrest from assault charges on a female reporter in Florida, defended Trump's retort: “The only thing she’s (H.R. Clinton, Secretary of State) got going is the fact that she’s a woman,” Trump, 69, said on Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show" - article

The transfusions of grey matter the GOP/Tea had hoped would save their 'bigot in chief' from further degeneration from bigot brain proved fruitless.

The medical community has given up declaring Trump legally "misogynist brain-dead" and set-up a fund for research.

Sadly again, the GOP/Tea has refused to fund medical research that might have saved Trump leaving him a doddering old fool lost in the days of dinosaurs and the tar pits of bigots.

Trump, Clinton, Cruz .... it's hard to say by now which of them would be the least-sucking president. They all are evil. Everyone with a bit of common sense can detect this. Trump has intrinsic foot-in-mouth disease but the other two are manipulative devils.

Boehner and Trump are texting buddies ?

Tanning salon buddies too it would seem.

Real country club elitist Republicans. For that spécial shade of Orange™.

GOP/GNU people are the group who did movement of anti-Trump movements and spent a plenty money for anti-Trump TV ads daily until money exhausted.

“What made John Boehner mad is that I led a movement of the people to hold Washington accountable,” Cruz told reporters.

No, Ted. You decided to shut down the government and put hard working people out of work over repealing Obamacare, something you had zero chance of accomplishing because you had neither the votes nor the leverage. People see it for what it was, a way to bring attention to your name (helping your presidential run). You took money out of Americans' pockets all for your own ego. You're slime.

The President was dead wrong when he promised his healthcare law would “lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year.”

“The only thing she’s got going is the fact that she’s a woman,” Trump, 69, said on Thursday on NBC’s “Today” show, refusing to back down from targeting Clinton, 68, for what he called “playing the woman’s card.”

Well Trump may be right there, the same way Obama was obviously more popular among black voters and other minorities.

What he forgets to say though is that his Neanderthal strategy has to be his worst decision in this campaign and the reason why he is so unpopular among women. I mean he made things far too easy for Hilary who just had to say 'am one of you ladies, i get you". Something she couldn't do vs obama or any other relatively clever man.

The only female votes trump's going to get are from wives who will be told to vote for him by their hubbies. Imo that's Trump's main failure till now, he has alienated 99% of independent,modern, working, smart women who live in the us. He could have done so much better considering he was an household name and very popular among women (thanks to his show) at the start of the campaign.

What has Republicans done under Bush?

@superlib: You wrote time Cruz was so stubborn that for7 days government was shut down and USA was going to bankrupted. Shot but because of Cruz, it was seven days. Bankruptcy. I forgot. Was it China that prevented bankruptcy of USA?

@sfjp for what it's worth I don't recall the Bush being derogatory towards women, not the way Trump has been. Am no Republican nor Bush supporter (far from it) but I think the Bush were just like many old conservatives who respect and 'protect' their wives, mothers, daughters etc. Dunno if it's better to treat women as subalterns but at least some women may feel less offended than with trump, dunno.

Trump has often treated women like a piece of meat, bragging about his wife's good looks and mocking Cruz not so attractive wife. I mean does he expect the 2/3 overweight or obese american women to be happy when he derides an average looking 50yo mrs Cruz? Not very smart if you ask me.

@sfjp for what it's worth I don't recall the Bush being derogatory towards women, not the way Trump has been.

It's not about Trumps's statement but voters remember of George Bush Jr. and the Republicans history:

Readers may not recall exactly what President Bush said about weapons of mass destruction; I certainly didn't. Thus, I have compiled these statements below. In reviewing them, I saw that he had, indeed, been as explicit and declarative as I had recalled.

Bush's statements, in chronological order, were:

United Nations Address, Sept. 12, 2002:

"Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons." Radio Address, Oct. 5, 2002:

"Iraq has stockpiled biological and chemical weapons, and is rebuilding the facilities used to make more of those weapons."

"We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have." Cincinnati, Ohio Speech, Oct. 7, 2002:

"The Iraqi regime... possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons."

"We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas." "We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States."

"The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his"nuclear mujahideen" -- his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons." State of the Union Address, Jan. 28, 2003:

"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent." Address to the Nation, March 17, 2003:

"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." Should The President Get The Benefit Of The Doubt?

When these statements were made, Bush's let-me-mince-no-words posture was convincing to many Americans. Yet much of the rest of the world, and many other Americans, doubted them.

“The only thing she’s got going is the fact that she’s a woman,” Trump, 69, said on Thursday on NBC’s is this not another cheap swipe at mrs Clinton? will this man not stop trying to pull any trick to get the presidency? I would not let him alown with a 5 piece jig saw. really do we wish him to be president? I hope to god that he does not get in, the guy is a clown and he's going to run one of the most powerful countries in the world?

Honestly I don't disagree with him on this. I want to facepalm every time I hear some middle aged white lady rabidly backing Hillary because "it's about time we had a woman in office." Newsflash, Hillary doesn't really care much about women who are not middle to upper-class white Americans. She is a shining example of the things that are so wrong with "white feminism" and only pretends to be intersectional when she thinks it will get her more votes. This doesn't mean that Trump would necessarily be any better for women though. I agree with what he said about Hillary but there's still a whole lot of things that roll out of his mouth that I don't agree with. Not exactly comfortable with the idea of either of them becoming president.

sfjp330: The President was dead wrong when he promised his healthcare law would “lower premiums by up to $2,500 for a typical family per year.”

Now imagine Obama shutting down the government until premiums get reduced by $2,500 per year. Then you'd have Cruz.

Recent stats suggest Trump would need to win around 70% of the white male vote in order to offset his large unfavorability rating among the women demographic

Newsflash, Hillary doesn't really care much about women who are not middle to upper-class white Americans.

Hmm, Dick, thanks for the heads-up, particularly with all of your background information - for example, about raising the minimum wage (80% of minimum wage earners are female) and efforts to eliminate the gender wage gap; continued access to reproductive planning services such as birth control and abortion; better access to health care, childcare and early education programs for children; and continued support for programs rhat older women rely on such as Medicare and Social Security - sure, apart from being an early, continuous and stalwart supporter supporter of these and other measures that support women regardless of age, race, or income - well, no: You're either blind or crazy if you believe what you wrote, particularly in contrast with the alternatives.

Love Trump purely for the comedy value (which he provides in spades). He's just jealous because Hillary has a bigger pair than he does... This, of course, raises questions for both sides of politics... :)

He was supposedly doomed with Millennial voters as well....until demolishing Hillary among that demographic in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

http://time.com/4309845/trump-youth-vote-pennsylvania-maryland/

According to data compiled by The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) 157,000 Millennials in Pennsylvania voted in the Republican primary this past Tuesday. This compares to 198,000 who cast ballots as Democrats.

Trump ended up winning 52% of the Millennial vote which amounts to roughly 81,640 votes. Meanwhile, Clinton got a paltry 17% of Millennials which works out to 33,660 votes.

Not if we're talking a wet moob competition.

Heh, and yes - this really is the level of discourse to which Trump's ridiculous campaign has dragged down the presidential elections. The size of his body parts are up for discussion with his own blessing. Darwin would piss himself were he watching.

When is Trump going to make fun of Clinton's hair?

I'm kinda partial towards this Trump quote about Fiornia:

When I came out, I was competing against 17 very capable people… and a woman.

If you need explanation, don't bother asking.

"I want to facepalm every time I hear some middle aged white lady" - comments

Another wife beater for Thump.

It is a fair accusation. Consider some circumstantial evidence. Hillary is a known totally corrupt politician who would in fact do anything for personal gain. She did take money from Putin as,a bribe to then approve Putin purchasing American uranium mines. Obama exploited his biological features and a large number of voters actually voted for him based on his race. It certainly wasn't his lack of experience and incompetence. Democratic party history is full of using biological features for a variety of laws and infringement. That party has long used,race and gender as a means of both division to separate some and gain support of others.

Everything about corrupt Hillary and her party of division makes it highly probable Hillary is using gender as a means of gaining votes.

Or, don't.

The GOP/Tea obviously could not care less who drags them into the sewer of Trump's addled brain.

Yesterday, there was Trump rally in Costa Mesa Calif. News is that anti Trump went to do riot. Orange County became chao. Every time anti Trump riots happens, Trump becomes more popular.

http://youtu.be/DmTfuyFlhoQ

Anti-Trump (Bernie) rally in California. Not as bad a Chicago, but still smashing out police cars etc. Probably won't hit then news since it does not fit the anti-Trump propaganda right now.

Trump brought people whose relative was killed by illegal aliens. Costa Mesa people are not used to murder and outside cops are not familiar with riot so when police depth could not find riot gears in nowhere in orange county, they borrowed riot protection gears from San Bernardino county, news said. Newport Beach is now extremely wealthy. Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach are wealthy. beach area but campaigners diidnot study what kind of place people they are targeting. Rioters actions backfired. I'd bet Disneyland was not crowded last night.

badsey3 at Apr. 30, 2016 - 01:36AM JST Not as bad a Chicago, but still smashing out police cars etc. Probably won't hit then news since it does not fit the anti-Trump propaganda right now.

Well I dunno it's been on every major news channel for at least the last twelve hours, but tinfoil hats on standby just in case, neh?

Unlike Chicago, news channels treated protest as riot. News showed one guy running on tops of police cars. Police report said they Rested RIOTTERS.. I guess protesters are considered as rioters in Orange County. 40 rioters are arrested, they said.

Ahhhh, now it makes sense:

Wayne Simmons, who presented himself as a national security expert and was a part of the conservative media push for a congressional investigation of the Benghazi attack, has pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges.
