Risks? Its done. Trump had a 75% disapproval rate with women.

He can't win dogcatcher with that.

Trump is now under fire for jabs at Heidi Cruz, as the rivals engage in an increasingly bitter, personal battle for the GOP presidential nomination.

The answer to "why" Trump peddles his sleaze lies at the feet of his supporters. Let's learn more about who Trump has as the core of his campaign.

Who Votes Trump? Sketch Of A Typical Backer Mostly white, lacking college educations, and only tenuously tied to conservative principles Times of Israel: By Ivan Couronne, March 25, 2016, 8:10 am

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s most enthusiastic supporters are predominantly white, lack college education, and bemoan their apparent marginalization in a rapidly changing America. But experts working from exit polls say his core supporters are voters eager for a candidate who will tip the economic balance in their favor.

The demographic that routinely scores highest for Trump is those whose formal education ended with high school.

The whole world is watching.

Trump refused to condemn David Duke, Holocaust Denier and that is also found in Times of Israel reporting.

This article worries women are repulsed by Trump, they might add there are very many more who find his duplicity evidence of either mental instability or pure hatred and racism.

What else could propel Trump to run a five year campaign of racial prejudice against President Obama in Trump's 'birther' bigotry?

Re-read the Times of Israel article above, his fans are just like Trump and that's why Trump is a danger to the Public and Republic, and that's why Trump sells himself as the puppet master of hate.

“He (Donald J. Trump, torture advocate) makes all kinds of derogatory statements against women, and I just don’t like to hear that,” said Ilse Lucas, 70, a retired teacher’s aide who doesn’t consider herself a Democrat or Republican." - article

Trump has based his campaign on a few freaks who like to hate.

In so doing Trump has distroyed his 'brand' and is universaly condemned around the world.

Worst he is the greatest recruiter ISIS could ask for, a loud mouthed bigot who hates as easily for race, religious belief or gender.

And Trump paints himself a genius businessman.

With this resume of hate Trump could launch a whole new line of personal fragrance that smells like the cesspool his fans swim in daily. At leaste the content matches the stench of their prejudice.

Trump is going to decimate the Republican party Come November.

Katie Packer, a former top aide to 2012 GOP nominee Mitt Romney, and the founder of the anti-Trump Our Principles PAC, said all this spells trouble for the general election.

However, she said, “If he loses women by 10 points more than Mitt Romney, it’s not a question of whether or not he loses, it’s a matter of who does he sweep out with him.”

Even a few several prominent Republicans are starting to say they would Even consider a vote Clinton rather than Trump.

An ugly thing of beauty is coming.

I'd thought Trump was going after Heidi's psychological history, but apparently he was alluding to Cruz's alleged affairs (supposedly five of 'em). Say what you will about Trump, but he is a complete master at slime.

In a few days, nobody will remember the woman thing.

There is no way for Trump to walk back his bigotry.

Trump is a failure.

Worst, Trump is a failure because he thought he could Make America Hate Again.

Trump was wrong and his fans are worst than wrong, they are dangerously unstable and armed.

It wouldn't be Trump who pulls the trigger, but there will be no denying he loaded the guns of hate.

But when Cruz was asked if he would support Trump for President if he's the nominee, Cruz declined to answer, so how outraged could he really be?

Interesting story. A political super PAC associated with candidate Cruz attacks candidate Trump's wife.

Trump responds in kind.

The media outlets, Democrats, and Cruz supporters attack Trump for attacking women.

Who votes Trump?

When Trump first started, I think his base constituency was made up of the Patrick Bateman's (American Psycho) of the world, the narcissistically impaired white men typically found in sales jobs, the steroid using sorts seen driving their muscle cars to expensive gyms where they can admire their biceps in wall to wall mirrors. Trump's marketing skills, aided by full support from the MSM, has helped expand that base to include the other disaffected WASP's you mentioned.

Cruz declined to answer, so how outraged could he really be?

In context, his decline is clear enough: Don't vote for Trump.

It's a spectacle of the bizarre, it really is.

I've got to say that despite the fun that non-Americans tend to poke at Americans when they get a chance, most American people I know and have met are intelligent, educated folk with wonderful manners and generally a pretty upbeat outlook on life. Which makes it all the more perplexing that this Grade A peanut in getting so deep into a Presidential campaign.

This may, one day, become clear. But right now I just can't see it.

And the thing is, it's not funny anymore. He's potentially as dangerous as any of the most dangerous leaders in the world. But he will be playing with the biggest, baddest chess pieces on the board.

That's worrying.

Donald Trump’s latest rude comments about Ted Cruz’s wife are raising new alarms among Republicans about the party front-runner’s ability to win over women

What a telling statement about the Republicans. They are worried about his ability to win over women, but make no comment whatsoever about his ability to be their president. Once again, for them it's all about power for their party, not the good of the people.

That is nice of you to say. It really is. But, really, you should get out more. America is like everywhere else on this planet: the full range of humanity on display. And, boy, do we have our doozies.

Some math may help: Mr. Trump is getting about 40% of the Republican primary vote. 27% of Americans identify as Republicans. Now, not all of those who identify as Republican turn out to participate in the primary, and not all those who vote for trump are Republican, but if we assume that's a wash then Trump is no 1 with just under half of a quarter of the American people.

Or around 12%.

Personally, I think the number is higher -- around 15-18% of America is bigoted, angry, uneducated and racist. If you look at other countries, and how much the right wing nationalist get in their country, it is about the same.

In short, America really is like everywhere else.

I agree, but it's likely that most Americans you have met are those that have left America (whether to travel or live), and as such are a specific sub-set of Americans. You can bet that the majority of Rump supporters have never been out of 'Murica.

A lot of people

White, un-educated, male, and Southern.

I'm from California, a lot of smart educated Whites are voting for him as well as a lot of smart Blacks.

What's funny is, it was msnbc another psycho network that created what we all know now is Trump.

the narcissistically impaired white men typically found in sales jobs, the steroid using sorts seen driving their muscle cars to expensive gyms where they can admire their biceps in wall to wall mirrors.

Wow, sounds to me like we're stereotyping once again. But since we are on that topic. Liberals do the same thing, look at themselves in the mirror, chin up, eye looking down, tilted head, clear case of narcism.

Trump's marketing skills, aided by full support from the MSM, has helped expand that base to include the other disaffected WASP's you mentioned.

Fact is he created jobs, has property all over the world, Obama could never do that, Hillary on the other hand will exploit the property. So Trump can brag about something, the other two can't. Especially if you ask a lot of minorities.

And to think the GOP worked do hard to win over women with their misguided attempts to close Planned Parenthood and their abortion restriction plans.

I don't think they have to win over women, mostly married higher income women with jobs and careers, highly educated usually vote conservative and Trump doesn't have to worry about those. Those are the vital votes he pretty much as locked in as well as Cruz, single women usually go for the Dems, I wonder why.

Sabbath and Stranger

I've been to the US, and met a range of people both in and out of the US.

So Sabbath, if I read your post correctly you are suggesting that this is more a media circus that a serious contender for a Presidency?

"painting Trump’s comments as part of a larger pattern of misogynistic attacks aimed at women." is really only the tip of berg of bigotry Trump has launched as his campaign theme.

Eight months of racism and prejudice is capped with misogyny and the reality is Donald J. Trump, torture advocate, has created this bigot theme for himself from day one.

Now, Trump can't un-bigot. The bigots who voted for this bigot voted for the bigot they knew Trump to be. Now Trump can't de-bigot and keep his bigots and pretend he isn't as big a bigot as he has become in everyone's mind.

As big a loser as Trump is he is a bigger loser because he thinks he can dictate his racism and prejudice as a choice Americans already agree with and obviously Trump is wrong about more than how to run a campaign for the highest office in the States.

It's 2016, not 1816 and someone in Trump's band of bigots should have noticed that.

But they didn't because Trump has nothing but contempt for the American People and contempt for anyone who can buy into his racism and gated communities.

Trump is a serious contender for the presidency to be sure. The media by and large treated trump as a circus freak. Because they either didn't understand or refuse to admit the nature of the Republican Party.

“We don’t want a president who seems to have a real issue with strong women.” - Ted Cruz

If the topic is the GOP/Tea's attitude towards women compare their decades long hatred for HRC and clowns like Santorium and the abortion foes who treat women like chattle. And it's Ted Cruz who pretend the GOP/Tea is friend to women's rights?

HRC is an entirely different story and there are a thousand reasons why the woman should be in maximum prison.

and clowns like Santorium and the abortion foes who treat women like cattle.

No, not at all, they are just saying, there is NO reason for any woman to terminate a full term baby, we are not talking about a fetus of a few weeks, but a baby that can live on its own once taken from the womb. That's the objection primarily.

And it's Ted Cruz who pretend the GOP/Tea is friend to women's rights?

The Democratic party makes financially dependent slaves off of women, especially single women.

And Trump is Lincoln reanimated? Please, the GOP/Tea hates women.

If the Democratic party really cared and were looking out for women, they would provide programs and incentives to give out less welfare and proper jobs training program like we had under Bill. That would be respecting women.

If you think the country can withstand 4 more years of failed policies, you guys are seriously living in a dreamland. There is a reason people are running to Trump and many of them WERE Obama supporters. People are tired of the Clinton's and given her record as secretary of state and as a politician overall, she would do more harm to the country, nothing would change, business as usual. At least Trump can't be bought and Trump is not going to take none of this crap and I'm very pleased that he's a thorn in both parties side, very pleased.

Months ago... might be six months ago by now... I predicted Trump's continued success for one simple reason.

He best embodies the Republican mind as it exists today.

It is true. He keeps proving it, and there is really nothing more to say. You can argue around the edges, but people who have been GOP their whole lives just love the guy. Argue about whether the GOP is racist, misogynistic, hypocritical, stupid, hateful, bigoted, etc. "at heart" and all you have to do is look and listen to Donald Trump. He is their guy. I am perfectly happy to note that there are SOME few people in the GOP who reject him, but it seems clear to me that those people say so despite their fear of being rejected by the GOP. Which simply proves my point. Of perhaps 20 leaders that the GOP chose to run for President, Trump is the winner. Their vetting process has produced him.

My advice to everyone is to make sure you use this opportunity to find the Trump supporters around you and label them quickly. At some level, in some way, these people are damaged and possibly dangerous. Eschew them.

And he will get the GOP nomination. Then America will have a choice between a person with no experience in government whatsoever and a person who has a better resume than any candidate, and indeed any incoming President.... ever. Maybe FDR could claim more experience when he started his fourth term. Let's see if Americans are willing to bet the whole club on a rookie. Because let's not kid ourselves. The fans are more interesting than the game, and they are the real story.

Cruz’s wife is a former Goldman Sachs investment manager and White House aide, who served as economic policy adviser to President George W. Bush.

Working for Goldman Sucks is nothing to be proud about even after all their open criminal behavior (+slap on the wrist fines), private Federal Reserve bail-outs paid for by the tax-payer, and low to zero interest private Federal Reserve loans used for speculation on the market. Goldman Sachs is the most criminal of all the "banks" and the best reason to reterm Glas-Stegall law.

Working as an economic advisor for George Bush jr right before the financial collapse is probably even worse. -Should be banned from Washington DC and any Federal/Gov job. Instead these people are paraded as heroes.

If Cruz didn't attack Trump's wife first, and has no responsibility for the Super PAC, neither does Donald for his KKK support. Why does only he have to decry support today prove he doesn't agree with it, but Cruz things he can shrug off responsibility with "wasn't me" but not saying he disagrees with what was done?

Both Trump and Cruz are underwater in terms of women's support (even among Republicans), but Trump even more so. Given that Cruz draws much of his support from the evangelical demographic -and that women in this demographic place a high value on honesty and fidelity - perhaps Trump's moniker of choice for Cruz - "lyin' Ted" - was a harbinger of these infidelity accusations. Cunning if true: lay the seed of doubt well before unveiling the accusation.

Perhaps Trump is so clever; perhaps the accusations are true; perhaps we'll never know. At any rate, the GOP has reached a level of sordidness not seen since the 19th century.

What makes Trump an racist is his refusal to condemn immediately, completely and forcefully the Holocaust Denier David Duke, Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. (As Ronald Reagan did when faced with the same challenge.)

Not once, but three times Trump was asked if he condemned Duke's racism and holocaust denial. That was on live television on CNN's Sunday Moring chat show. Trump had previously offered he would condemn Duke, "if that makes you feel better."

Makes you feel better? That's just racism with a velvet glove. Racism with a velvet glove is still racism. Not that anyone expects a 'Trumper' to know the difference. Any excuse to hate is good enough for them.

Cruz going down would hugely discredit the Tea Party wing; Trump going down would discredit no one. It would be like shooting a zombie: They'll come back.

The GOP end game is coming into focus, and it has two flavors: bad and horrendous - and this is from the GOP perspective.

What's the big deal? That's not his fault. Trump doesn't care about that kind of support. Only the support from those americans who want enforcement of immigration laws. And to temporarily ban muslims from coming into the US.

Look at Paris, San Bernardino, Germany and Belgium. Obviously a line needs to be drawn and national security re-evaluated.

The minority of people who don't like him like KKK and Bundies cannot be helped.

Like the minorities in Detroit, Chicago, Ferguson, LA? Living in poverty. No education. Yet, they are the same ones who would vote-in Obama for "a third term" -as you mention. Good riddance.

Good riddance.

If a mob mentality, I would agree with not following the general consensus - but to equate the democratic process as such negates democracy altogether. Furthermore, the GOP is not simply bidding good riddance to the less fortunate (even Ryan has famously backtracked on his takers/givers schtick recently), it's bidding good riddance to huge chunks of the fastest-growing, most productive demographics of society. if this keeps up, the GOP core constituency will be of white people who are either too old or too lazy and stupid to adapt to modern society.

Sticking to one's principles is one thing, but when the vast majority of people around you begin to call your principles BS, perhaps it's not they who are wrong, it is you.

First anti-Trump Group distributed a naked photo ..of Trump's wife. Then a photo of Cruz's wife's sexual action scene that showed a man was hugging from backside

Her breast and center bottom body were covered with blue plastic so someone created photo but made sure PG?

BTW TRUMP supporters began showing now

Sorry they are women, some kind of mixed race, not unemployed,, know how to debate,, not uneducated.

A former Jab.so assistant came out, too. He support Cruz and he is angry. He is unemployed? he is male white and sounded uneducate

if this keeps up, the GOP core constituency will be of white people who are either too old or too lazy and stupid to adapt to modern society.

What a bunch of crap! The funny thing about liberals is how little they know about conservatism. Most Blacks and Latinos become more conservative as they get older and culturally, they have nothing in common with the Democratic party. They are socially conservative, are mostly against abortion, the majority are Christian, entrepreneur and when you look at conservatives altogether, we have gays, Asians and everything else, but for many when you are young and rebellious and inexperienced, you need to act out, be defiant, but as you get older, many finally come to their senses and realize, the only way to make it in life is to be self-reliant.

Sticking to one's principles is one thing, but when the vast majority of people around you begin to call your principles BS, perhaps it's not they who are wrong, it is you.

Only progressive liberals call it BS. Most people I work with and know that are entrepreneur are very conservative, the problem is not conservatism, the problem is how the message is delivered and the current GOP are horrible at delivering that message, hopefully whatever they will call themselves after this is election is anyone's guess, but this will at least give them some time to reflect and come back stronger and better organized for the next generation and not make the same mistakes they have been doing this time around.

Except for the facts. Donald J. Trump is no better than the wife beater. Trump worked his violence behind the scenes and in the Public's face. What a dirty, dirty loser. The very words Trump uses to promote his racism and prejudice.

Can your prove that he beat up his wife? Is there a police report? How do you know he is a racist? Clinton repeatedly cheated on his wife and humiliated her in public, you don't think that is just downright despicable? With Clinton, the FBI still has the infamous Blue dress in a vault as evidence of his transgressions.

Building the big wall will be a waste of money and won't work.

It won't work if you build a flimsy wall, true, but if you build it the way the Israelis build it, beef it up with the National Guard and triple the border patrol, of course you can build an impregnable wall.

Since we have NO proof that Trump is a racist, only rhetoric, we can't say for sure. Once again, the MSM are tying their best to smear someone without fact checking, typical.

70% of all Americans see a hostile and grotesque character of anything like a leader.

Which poll and how many Americans were surveyed?

Donald J. Trump is so clearly a fool and a puppet master of hate and slaughter? Please. Trump dung his grave, let the idiot Trump lie in his excrement of hate.

The Democratic party wallows in racial hate, division and government dependency, uno now that Trump wants to provide jobs for the people and crush the establishment, he's demonized as racist, once again, typical and desperate.

Ha, ha! Trump is already a fraud, except his hate for color and faith. There's too much to document a racist, a bigot and a religious prejudice that has destroyed the idiot Trump brand across the globe.

Imagine working all those years to end up a bigot and a racist in you're idiot racism to have Americans vote you dictator in chirf? Really? That was Trump. torture advocate's plan? Nose milk spit now.

Good business for sellers of ladders and ropes. It's illegal to build the wall in some places like along rivers and on people's private properties. Do you want a wall running through your back yard? Also, who is going to pay for this?

I don't take Trump's wall claim seriously. It's impossible. But I know that he will implement more public healthcare so that is why I don't mind him for president. He will also raise taxes to restore the US's infrastructure. I'm glad we both agree on this.

Trump U. is stupid.

Jennifer Churchfield FOR PRESIDENT!

"“I don’t know what to say except that I’m disappointed in both of them,” said Jennifer Churchfield, a 52-year-old Republican from a suburb south of Denver. “The conversation needs to be about the economy, jobs, education, foreign policy. You know, things that matter. This is a non-debate. What are they doing?” " - article

Really? Trump has spent more time on his manhood than a teenager on the internet.

Golly, give it a rest 'Mr. Bigot in Chief'

The international sees just a pile of silly with thin layers of processed waste. GOP/Tea? Think GOP . . . ha, ha.

Trump and Cruz are actually quite smart. By causing conflict about each other's wives, hand sizes, and penis sizes, they distract the peons from realizing that they are not discussing the issues that are actually relevant to the people. The less they discuss the issues, the less the people will realize that they don't have any ideas on how to deal with those issues.

Cry and whine, cry and whine the dummy puppets of racism and ahte hang from the tree of Donald J. Trump's bigots.

But if there is no proof that he's a racist, why do the Dems have to keep trashing him, is it because they're afraid? Why do the Dems face up to their own inequalities and racism?

Let them read the truth here, if they can, read.

This is typical of the liberal mindset, if you don't like a candidate or if the person supports a candidate you don't like, personally attack them.

The buffoones of hate Donald j. Trump has created for his television reality of nothing but hate.

Thank msnbc for that, they desperately needed the ratings.

The GOP/Tea? They look forawrd to a National Republican Convention where they, apparentky, will gibe Donald J. Teump the accolades of the GOP/Tea fraud in chief.

Hope so.

Ha, ha! Trump is already a fraud, except his hate for color and faith.

What about the people of color that support him and what about the people of color that supported Obama and he burned them and left them in a very bad economical state?

There's too much to document a racist, a bigot and a religious prejudice that has destroyed the idiot Trump brand across the globe.

You say that, but you can never provide or show proof that the man embraces racism.

Imagine working all those years to end up a bigot and a racist in you're idiot racism to have Americans vote you dictator in chirf? Really? That was Trump. torture advocate's plan? Nose milk spit now.

Given the fact that Trump has employed thousands and liberals and Obama have destroyed thousands of lives, I think one can surmise which person is the racist.

"Obama have destroyed thousands of lives"

Yes, he is a great president as he has helped 100s of millions of lives. No one is perfect but as you said with so few lives he has ruined compared to the many many more that have been helped, you have confirmed that he is a great president. Thanks for confirming that Obama has been a great president with those numbers you present.

"The police in Jupiter, Florida have clearly seen what Donald Trump refuses to acknowledge: his campaign manager battered a woman and caused serious bruising," said Our Principles PAC leader Katie Packer. "In any job in America this would be grounds for firing. Instead Donald Trump has praised him.

kcjapan-Tea: Police Charge Trump Campaign Manager With Battery

I saw the video and the reporter was not assaulted. Trump's advisor grabbed her arm to restrain her overzealous hounding of his boss. She is simply crying out for attention and maybe a payout from Trump. But this is actually one of the things that bothers me about Trump - and not just this reporter. He too will conjure up a frivolous lawsuit at the drop of a hat. I don't understand the mentality people have; like they are so delicate that they will be destroyed when even one unpleasant thing happens to them.

Oh wait. I didn't notice it the first time I watched the video but Trumps' campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, really does get violent here. At first it looks like Lewandowski simply grabbed the victim (Michelle Fields) by the arm and pulls her back from Trump. But actually he threw a vicious left cross to the victims left temple. You can see how Fields is staggered and knocked to the ground by the brutal assault. You can also see at the very end, if you play back the video slow enough and if you squint your eyes, Lewandowski goes full Mike Tyson on the poor helpless women and bites off the ladies right earlobe as the victim writhes in agony on the ground. Oh, and the blood just streaming out of her head. Wow, gruesome! Yeah, Fields has a slam dunk case of assault - slam dunk.
