I disagree with the author’s contention that any other Republican nominee could have beaten her easily.

Exactly. Imagine:

Cruz - Neanderthal Bible thumper.

Rubio - closet gay (not a problem for Dems but we all know about the double standard).

Christie - fat slob who killed people during Bridgegate.

Carson - Uncle Tom who knows nothing about politics.

The Democrat/media/government complex would destroy, or attempt to destroy Jesus himself.

I thought the biggest blunder so far was releasing the P***y tape now instead of on Election Eve.

I recently attended a week-long quilting retreat. 100 women, and all senior citizens. I heard worse there than what Trump said.

If not for the media putting this as prime news, it would be a non-story. They just need to deflect anything that might come up about Hillary. Shameful.

Oh, and BTW, the biggest blunder in history was giving women the vote.

And I’m one! ;-)

The damned CLINTONS are BOTH a joke when it comes to abuse
of women. “Horndog and Hillie” says it all.

Walking over rough gravel, barefoot if I have to, in order
to vote TRUMP! As for the turncoat GOPe; THEY HAVE BEEN
WEIGHED IN THE BALANCES AND FOUND WANTING!!

HAS-LAM in Tennessee could have just as easily KEPT HIS
PIEHOLE SHUT!!! Fang & I will NEVER VOTE FOR HAS-LAM the
HAS-BEEN AGAIN!!! NEVER!!!!!

I'm hopeful that there are lot of women who don't speak out against the femnazi rhetoric, but don't agree with them. Real women know the difference between a guy who gets in bragadocious manly conversations and one who cheats. Normal people have a code, that what's said in those conversations stays there. They cringe at the thought of being recorded when they're talking about their guys and comparing notes.

Summary.....I suspect that if it's done right between now and the election, he'll get more of those votes than he's polling. Perhaps the best person to get out there on the stump is Mrs. Pence.

“the biggest blunder in history was giving women the vote.”

Agree. And I’m one, too.

Against virtually any other potential Republican candidate this overwhelming gender gap would have been virtually eliminated as a majority of women do not trust or like Hillary Clinton but their attitude toward Trump approaches loathing.

I believe the author is absolutely wrong on two counts in this article:

1. Despite his strong negative ratings among women as far back as last spring, I remember that polls were consistently showing Trump performing better than any other Republican contenders against Hillary Clinton (and Bernie Sanders polling better than Clinton against Trump, for that matter). I mean, does the author really think Carly Fiorina would even be attracting the support of 30% of the voters if she had been the GOP nominee?

2. The track record of a male Republican candidate, and information that comes out about that candidate's past, have become increasingly irrelevant in an election because the Democratic campaigns will fabricate "woman" issues against any GOP contender anyway. This is where an in-your-face candidate like Donald Trump may have a better chance of winning than a simpering p#ssy like Mitt Romney.

The author's own numbers seem to bear this out, or at least point to a flaw in his argument. Mitt Romney did slightly better among female voters in 2012 than George W. Bush did in 2000. Bush won, and Romney lost.

More than anything else, this article tells me that Republican candidates simply have to get more men to vote in these elections. My question for the author is: Which Republican candidate in 2016 was most likely to attract more men?

“The target audience is the women’s vote, in particular suburban white women”

In other news, _50_Shades_of_Gray_ sold 80,000,000 books and $600,000,000 in theater tickets (not including video sales/rental). The story features a billionaire crudely objectifying women.
