I had forgotten about that interview. One long, rambling, cringe-worthy word salad. Trump was clearly unprepared to talk about the issue. It was astonishing really. One of the most divisive political issues of our time, one that every candidate for office must address clearly and succinctly before the American people, and Trump got caught out. Matthews was on his game and wisely took advantage of the moment.
No, Madonna said, "I've really been thinking about blowing up the White House." It was an idiotic statement that reflects badly on the whole movement.

And yes, people who are looking to slam the marchers are going to zero in on that, as they have on here.
It's ridiculous how so many women think Hillary and her elite group of girlfriends REALLY care about us poor old average working women.
Had a male politician said that, feminists would be losing their ****. But as we have learned from so many other women that have gained power, they will happily overlook all the bad things these women do or how many other women they spit upon so long as, hey, it's a woman in power and that is all that matters.
Good women like Michele Bachmann, Marine Le Pen etc. are women that do deserve places in government, but women such as Hillary gets all the spotlight.
Don't worry, we will one day get a female President. But it would be nice if our first female President had anything close to honesty, integrity, bravery and such as George Washington. Even for being born, raised and died in the 1700s he had far more positive traits even by today's standards than most of the women that have positions of power today. Granted, I DO realize by the very nature of politics and such it's extremely cutthroat and brutal so whether it be men or women it is going to attract a lot of power hungry unsavory types, but at the very least when it comes to a woman being President can we at least get a woman that actually managed to get where she is due to hard work, some integrity, and no just riding off the back of another famous person?
I was always shocked at how feminists were so proud of Hillary given that she only was what she was due TO a man, something I thought feminists were against.
If they said the same thing as Madonna? Yes. And I lost all respect for those women who threatened us about not voting for HRC. As a feminist, I have the right to vote for WHOMEVER I choose. Really stupid move on their part to say such stupid things.

You're delusional if you think that Madonna was the only woman in DC on Saturday that wouldn't have shed a tear to see a Trump occupied WH explode.
"It has been proven". No it hasnt. And, wow, you really lack sorority and basic human compassion. The fact that women are seen as MERCHANDISE in many countries in the world, the fact they are being traded or selled or used as sexual slaves because many societes agree to this DOESNT CONCERN YOU AS A WOMAN? The fact that we live in such a sick world that many little girls are sold and trafficked and force to prostitute, the fact that millions die all over the world for illegal dangerous abortion, the facts that women are being raped everywhere all the time and dying from the brutality of it, what about genital mutilation, forced early marriage, etc etc etc???
YOU DONT CARE ABOUT THIS CAUSE IT DOESNT HAPPEN TO YOU, RIGHT?
So THATS the kind of person you are.
So dont ask what rights are women in USA lacking, dont pretend that if there were a reason, you will be protesting too, cause you just admited that anything that doesnt affect you personally you dont care about, wich means you would protest EVER whatever the reason and you dont care about everything the past generation and this one did for you and the women of the future.
Because you only care about yourself and THATS THE PERSON YOU ARE .
Nice rant and I don't disagree with a lot of what you said, but, why not ask what rights American woman are lacking? Isn't that what the march as about?
Well, actually, we know what the march was REALLY about.
