Suburban women recoil as Trump dives into racial politics

ROOKFIELD, Wis. (AP) — Carol Evans approves of Donald Trump’s immigration policy. She gives him credit for the strong economy. But the Republican from the affluent Milwaukee suburbs of Waukesha County, a GOP bedrock in the state, just can’t commit to voting for the president next year like she did in 2016.

“I just don’t like the way he talks about other people,” Evans, a 79-year-old retired data entry supervisor, said recently as she walked through a shopping mall in Brookfield, Wisconsin, days after Trump fired off a racist tweet at Democratic congresswomen.

The president’s recent return to racial politics may be aimed at rallying his base of white working-class voters across rural America. But the risks of the strategy are glaring in conversations with women like Evans.

This woman is clearly not well informed. She just accepts the premise that Trump’s tweets were racist....when they were not.

That is called not thinking for yourself.

If a person is going to vote for the Rat because Trump is a racist they deserve what they get.

Yup. Still waiting for the “N” word quote from his tweet. Sounds more like a comment on one’s character. But, if the shoe fits.........

BS....this suburban woman thinks the conversation is long overdue. Guess what, Libs? You took us here! You pushed, you blamed, you poked and you prodded. It’s now going to blow up in your face.

It's been blowing up on them since 2015.. They'll continue to say 'it's just a flesh wound'. Keep America Great 2020!!!

LOL! I commented to Mrs rktman yesterday about some posts that show up on her FB page. Seems like seldom do the conservatives bring up politics but the opposition is constantly doing so. Ignore, move on, repeat. As Mark Twain said, “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.”

Many professional, suburban women — a critical voting bloc in the 2020 election — recoil at the abrasive, divisive rhetoric, exposing the president to a potential wave of opposition in key battlegrounds across the country.

I don't think the danger is driving these voters to the Democrats so much as just causing them to stay home. Hillary lost because even though they may have agreed with her position enough people were turned off by her personally that they didn't bother to vote for her. Trump needs to make sure the same doesn't happen to him.

AP is of course propaganda scum. Just look at the “racist tweet” smear in this article.

But I live in an affluent ‘burb in the Northeast and it is unquestionably true that the Squad and Baltimore storylines, as taken in by your average ‘burb woman does turn off the average ‘burb woman.

Yes, I will say it, they are political nitwits. The most common source they reference in their political cocktail-party conversations is 60 Minutes.

Suburban housewives are about the dumbest(politically speaking) creatures in this country. As long as their bills are paid and they can get their manicure appointments, they are oblivious to the workings of the country.

They see the ilegal problem not an problem because they hired illegals to clean their house, mow their yards and raise their children.
They want everyone to ‘get along’, just like their bridge club(well, sort of)

These wannabee socialites see Trump as ‘uncouth’
