Women Really, Really Dislike Trump: Take Note, Republicans
National Review ^ | April 18, 2016 | Abby McCloskey

...

Trump recently tweeted, “Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump!” This is hard to believe. More than 3 million people have seen the anti-Trump ad in which women repeat real quotes about women from Donald Trump, such as “bimbo” and “fat pig.” Trump described Megyn Kelly as having “blood coming out of her wherever” and mocked Carly Fiorina’s appearance by saying, “Look at that face.” He tweeted a picture of Melania Trump next to Heidi Cruz, as if potential first ladies are contestants in a Miss Universe pageant. And when asked whether women should be punished in the event that abortion became illegal, he suggested that they should be.

Women aren’t amused. Seven out of ten women (67 percent) have an unfavorable view of Trump, and only 26 percent view him favorably, according to a national Quinnipiac survey from late March. Other polls have his unfavorability ratings among women even higher, at 74 percent.

Cruz has capitalized on Trump’s missteps by not making similar misogynist gaffes (admittedly, this is a low bar). He also recently hosted an event — “The Celebration of Strong Women” — in Madison, Wis., featuring his wife, his mother, and none other than former competitor Carly Fiorina. “All issues are women’s issues,” said Cruz, in one of his most humanizing events of the campaign.

This is a very encouraging development, but Cruz too has a steep hill to climb with women voters. Three in ten women surveyed had a favorable view of Cruz (29 percent) and nearly half had an unfavorable view of him (46 percent), according to the same Quinnipiac survey from late March.

Not that the GOP’s leading candidates do particularly well with male voters.

“Women who dislike Trump are a bunch of little girls.”.........

The little snow flakes of prior years who still need their safe space.

“I’m not particularly concerned about how Trump has attacked women”

How has Trump “attacked women”?

You sound suspiciously like you mean “woman”.

What he has said about a few needed to be said and is nothing like what most of us have said in private.

The anti-woman Trump propagandists are is in full force. THEY are the ones demeaning women.

B/c women like men are both concerned about protecting their personal safety....Donald’s primary goal.

Again, again, you are using logic with people who are illogical and venom-filled.

Funny, the last national poll I saw showed Trump doing better with women than either Cruz or Kasich.

I guess it all depends on which political spin someone wants to believe.

It’s a coordinated media campaign against him amplified by Trump’s refusal to be PC. The Dems always rile up women against the GOP candidate and they just started early with Trump because he scares the shit out of the left. He’ll work through the issue eventually.

>>and more importantly, that he is still a liberal, despite all of his BS to the contrary. And I don’t vote for or support liberals. At least, not knowingly.

Is he a liberal or a Progressive? Because the difference is significant these days. Progressives sit on both sides of the aisle and make decisions that harm our nation for the benefit of a select few. A liberal wants to feed the poor. A Progressive wants to CREATE the poor by destroying the middle class. A liberal wants to end war. A Progresive wants to start wars that never end, but expend a lot of expensive ordinance.

It is important that people learn to understand the difference because worrying about liberals when there are Progressives on the ballot in both parties is just dumb.

The truth is women like Trump. Does anyone think they like that pasty faced home wrecker with the nauseating voice, Cruz? Do not make me laugh.

All this crap is made up.

Nearly 6 out of 10 women vote Democrat anyway.

There is no “problem” to address. Stop being led around the nose by publications with an axe to grind.

Still not a peep out of the “women” about the DemocRATS demanding that male sexual deviants can use the ladies room though, huh?

yeah, if they hate Donald Trump, they’re really gonna hate Ted Cruz once the media tells them how he tried to take away vibrators and how, if it was up to him, they wouldn’t be able to have an abortion even if they were raped by uncle Ernie.

Well I would think NR would want to help defend our Republican frontrunner from these attacks. Very telling that its helping promote the false dem narrative. This is the very reason why Trump is running and winning: the collusion of all Washington elites to promote a common anti-american globulist agenda.
