If a candidate is viewed increasingly unfavorably by US women (j50% - up from 40% in November), wonder how many of them will choose not to vote for that candidate if he gets nominated? Kinda difficult to get elected if half of the female half of the population, and growing, doesn't want ya, eh?

Statistically speaking, aren't at least half of women in America somewhere on the Liberal side of things anyways? With that in mind, 50% seems a bit low, don't you think?

Hillary has a serious white male voter problem.
In Michigan Democrat primary race, for example, Bernie won 62% of the male, white vote.

The article only quotes the number who see Trump "very unfavorably". Usually there is a "somewhat unfavorable" option as well. Trump is probably up near 70% combined.

This is a quadrennial story no matter who the Republican candidate is; gender gap. It is what it is but it has not prevented Republicans from winning elections.

Since when you became a fan of a conservative talk show on the reviled Faux News as libs call them? Trump creates strange bedfellows.

And he likes it like that. Women might not want Hillary for a BFF, but they all know she will serve their interests a lot more than Trump or Cruz will.


Money? Power? What's not to like?

A few positive comments from the people whose paychecks he signed won't change that.
I don't think those comments hurt Trump as much as some people think they will. Trump is blunt, but he often says what people think. What he said about Fiorina's looks wasn't positive, but there was a truth to it. It's ok to be homely like Fiorina or Hillary, but you have to be witty or charming or something else to get people to like you. Fiorina may be a perfectly good choice, but she didn't have the 'it' factor to stand out. As much as a feminist that Hillary is, she has always had to use Bill as her prop. She would never have made it this far without him. Bill is the charm and cover to her witchiness.

Trump's woman on her knees comment wasn't sexual although some people have chosen to see it that way. It was a playmate or centerfold who made that comment. It could have just as easily have been one of the men who made that comment. Even she admits it wasn't sexual.

The Megan Kelly comment was just some Trump bloviating. I didn't take it as a comment about her monthly cycle and neither do other people. MK is looking for attention and she took the first strike. I liked her before that debate. I saw her stunt as a low blow. Lately, she doesn't even try to appear unbiased.

Not by me! What do you mean by "extreme nosiness about what happens in women's bedrooms and doctor visits"? I never heard anything like that. Oh, you aren't talking about prostitution and killing of pre-born humans? I'm a woman and I don't really support those things although it you wanted to prostitute for a living, I really don't care since it involves consenting adults but when you involve a pre-born human, I do have a problem with that. As a mother, I cannot imagine how anyone has "that" done to their baby.

I can see that those that have ordered the termination of their baby's life would be uncomfortable with the stand that some have against the taking of human life. I cannot support a candidate that supports the taking of innocent lives. I think you'll find a lot of women that are not comfortable with the idea.

Hillary sits at the hand of Satan. I don't want to sit there with her. No thanks!

And, no, I didn't bother wasting my time with your yet another slam of my candidate, you know, the winning one. Again, your time would be better spent maybe advocating for someone that doesn't value life and makes that an important part of their candidacy, probably Bernie or Hillary.

You know, I cannot understand, as a grandmother, how Hillary, as a grandmother doesn't realize how precious life is.

Lightbulb I do not believe it...

According to a CNN interview/article, he has more females in high level executive positions within the Trump organization


The way his daughter carries herself, the way she expresses herself, the confidence she exudes does not correspond with someone with a father who does not respect women. The two do not go together....

When a woman grows up with a father who disrespects women, it shapes their personality, their choices,
their outlook, etc.

Also, she respects & loves her father. And she is very proud of him.

half of US women have unfavorable view of trump... wonder why?

well, half of US women have an unfavorable view of any Republican candidate, because..... half of US women (and men) are Democrats

there is nothing trump can do to win over democrats (women or men)

there is nothing Hillary can do to win over Republicans (women or men)
