Don't be silly.
No, hundreds were in order to fool a couple million gullible fools.

I really don't think that anyone thought they were speaking for ALL women. There will always be people who vote against their own best interest. I can't help that.

And she did so because the last 18 months of Trump's campaign were full of hateful, misogynistic statements and actions and wanted to add her voice to those that are saying that those actions and statements better not become the law of the land.



So are Trump's numbers. Sorry. When you add the Dems and the independents, Trump's numbers shrivel. When you take those plus the numbers of eligible voters who didn't like ANY of the choices presented them, Trump's numbers shrink even farther. So acting like you got the popular mandate is false. And that sort of arrogance will come back and bite you.
120 million are eligible to vote. 90 million did not and that's more votes than either nominee received.
I would not assume most of today's crowds were necessarily Hillary supporters.

This protest is dumb. What rights are women lacking? There are none.

Yes, we are aware that a very large number of Democrat voters are simply voting in the hopes of getting free stuff.

Of all women, more voted for Clinton. More white women voted for trump.
All women are, imo, more significant than just white women.
The women protesting certainly do represent American women ... not all of them. But more of them than not.
