“With Trump we may have found the only candidate that Hillary can beat.”
So, in your logical mind the candidate that is losing to Trump can win against the democrats but Trump cannot also win against the democrats. Got it.
In your mind, for the next Super Bowl, the NFL should pick the two worst teams from the playoffs to play in the Super Bowl because the winning teams from the playoffs can’t possibly win the Super Bowl itself.
The dumbing down of American on display.
Trump has the “women who don’t want to get raped” vote all locked up.
This is so bogus.....women are just as concerned about their safety and sexurity as men are.
That/s why women will go for Trump.
No way on earth will the elites hand the nomination to teddy, they hate him on a personal level, as almost everyone that deals with him does. Ted is a thoroughly unlikable man.
Trump supporters will still remain in denial. They actually believe Trump has “crossover appeal” and will win deep blue states like NY, MA, MI, WI, etc, even though there has been no evidence of it.
Poll after poll shows over 60% of the electorate can’t stand him. Over 50% of registered Republicans have an unfavorable opinion. Poll after poll he loses to Hillary by double digits. Cruz leads Hillary in the polls. Yet a Trump supporter says Cruz can’t win, but Trump can? It makes no sense.
If Trump is nominated, it’s over. Hillary wins in walk. Trumps is too widely hated.
I think Trump has got to tighten up his strategy. The scattershot approach has yielded a ton of free media exposure, but we're down to the crunch.
Right now, he's dealing with the Corey thing, the abortion thing, the nuclear thing... on and on.
What's not being discussed? Border. Jobs & Trade. ISIS.
Get on message. Stay there.
What he says about certain women is exactly what I hear many women say in private. Rosie and Megan are prime examples. He is destroying PC and as a female I love it!
National sanity will never prevail again unless a charismatic leader emerges - someone who can bring us back together as Americans instead of the 1,000 special interests groups that now divide us.
Liberals (with the willing assistance of RINOs) have created a divided society where splinter groups obsess over minor differences, real or imaginary, instead of the large, important things we have in common. Things that keep a society whole and healthy.
Politicians distract people with divisive issues while they steal us blind and hand the country to our enemies.
They have made elections more about minor irritants that disturb a few people rather than the large issues that equally affect us all.
How ridiculous is the imaginary “War On Women” when Hillay Clinton is paid $250,000 dollars for a 1 hour speech then drums up envy and hate with her campaign on equal pay for women and men - people who won’t earn that much in a decade?
The “War On Women” won’t seem so important when muslim animals are raping our daughters and mothers at will and stoning women who show a bare ankle.
But people like the Obamas, Clintons and Soros of the world will be safe in their elite communities and will hardly be aware of the hell they created for us.
Which is it - women are strong, independent and have their own mind, or are they malleable, insecure, and victims of groupthink?
I on’t know...you should ask Michelle Fields...
I know what you mean. This is a drumbeat of advice to Trump.
However, I need more data before I agree, the reason being, when Trump does this stuff he continues to look “non-political.” Well, is that bad? I am thinking HE thinks this is his strength. In other words, for every voter he loses as an “issue” voter, does he gain one because he continues to be viewed as an “outsider” who “doesn’t give political answers?” I think we need a couple more primaries after these “distracting” events to see.

I and several of my female coworkers voted for Trump here in Michigan.
For reasons to do with his platform.
We all have great husbands. :-)
Really? It sounds like something you just made up.
That aside, Trump will need more than 30 percent of the female vote to be elected president.
And isn't the purpose of all this to elect someone other than Hillary?
Who needs women voters?
Trump has ALL those Reagan Democrats back from the dead.
[Which is it - women are strong, independent and have their own mind, or are they malleable, insecure, and victims of groupthink?]
They like to THINK they are strong and independent. But the moment a man speaks harshly at/about them, or jostles them in a crowd, they instantly morph into delicate petunias and go on TV claiming to be “victimized”, and demand to be treated as a “protected” group.
“Donald Trump and Chris Matthews, and all the rest chimed in”
I got an earful last night on the subject, and I liked what I heard, it became a very enlightening discussion. The views reflect, mothers, daughters, grandmothers, grandfathers, fathers, sons, and husbands, wives, and singles.
How many of us are put in a situation where an inflammatory subject is broached and we are harangued into an immediate answer which has so many connotations that invariably, no matter what your answer, it will be wrong, or perceived as wrong, and determinations on your character, your views on women, or men, and on business, are colored by many people, which are invariably incorrect, but difficult to change.
This of course is a trap, set by people who know what they are doing, and for predefined reasons.
However, as most people do, with a reflection period of about 24 hours, reveal facts that cannot be disputed, and they are simply...facts.
1. On the outset, all sexual activity, is the responsibility of the man and woman.
2. Contraception is the responsibility of BOTH the man and the woman.
3. Failure of either person CAN cause, death of the fetus, disease, injury, physical and psychological damage to one or both partners. Financial hardship.
Most importantly to others, is that when one or both partners are not responsible, the result changes the responsibility from the two partners, to the public.
For it is at this point, that parents first become involved, or spouses, in the cases of infidelity, police if a matter of rape, social services in the case of minors, and the state, in cases of abortion, or adoptive services. Hospitals for birth or abortion, really the list is endless.
Then comes those with opinions that affect these two people. There are those who like to place blame, either on the man or the woman.
Often IMO these people who are pro-life, are as extreme as the pro-abortion people, in that they intend to impose their beliefs onto other people, well meaning or not, and invariably do so to the point that they actually take responsibility for their words or actions.
What I mean, is the pro-lifers are adamant to the point of actually taking the unwanted child and raising it themselves.
The pro-abortion advocates do so, to the point of taking the woman to the clinic, sit with her during the procedure, stay with her thru recovery, help her psychologically deal with the death of the life inside her, and all the struggles so many women deal with from that point on in their lives. I know so many women who celebrate woefully the birthday (or death day) of that aborted child.
In all of this, MOST of us do NOT want to make a decision on something that is not our business, really. It stems from irresponsibility of the original partners. We have been taught, well, many of us have, that life begins at conception. That the victim here is really the unborn child.
Reality is that this pregnancy is INCONVIENIENT, expensive, life altering, precious, infuriating, and socially exposing. Lives change as the result of an unexpected pregnancy. Some change for the better, some for the worse, but they all change.
This issue becomes a pawn in politics, because it is incendiary. Depending on how your affected by it, you draw lines in the sand, and fight to the death for your opinion.
Rarely tho, does the unborn child have a voice. We have literally lost generations to abortion, and as a result our numbers have grown substantially smaller. I doubt that the most staunch pro-abortion advocate could stand before God, and successfully defend his/her position, as all life is sacred to him. So, many simply deny the existence, or deity of God.
IMO, the issue is not about Abortion. For a man to argue this issue, is nonsense. Far too often, we are removed from the beginning from saving a life if the mother wants an abortion. If the mother wants to keep the child, his participation in the child’s upbringing is determined by courts and families, and often child protective services, and child support courts.
Politicians will use this issue to disparage, in this instance Political candidates. Rudimentary knowledge of state and federal law knows that one person rarely makes a law, but rather it is a large group of people making this decision, but they will condemn a single person for not being sharp on an issue, as if it implies that they cannot become versed, or have experts available to help to form a rational and cohesive platform.
Even given that, others with differing viewpoints and a platform to expound, will dither away at the object of their disdain.
Regardless of the reason, the public, in a very public forum will have to determine individually those people who align with their beliefs, and determine if, or how that will affect their vote. That is the American way.
I would say, that at this point, each person has to muddle through what is sensationalism, and what is truth, what is hype, and what is spin, and most importantly why.
For many, they don’t have the time, and live by the MSM reporting, which by the way has its own agenda, discussions with friends and family, and if they can stay connected, and don’t just give up in exasperation, will go to the polls and vote.
In the end, Pundits and the Media, and the other candidates either want you to agree with them, and vote with them, or stay away. The tough minded, will vote.
To those, is my applause. Vote with your head, but vote.
With Trump we may have found the only candidate that Hillary can beat.
Sorry...yeah she’ll beat Trump, but Cruz won’t fare any better...if we’re talking about beating hilary, we’d better get behind Kasich...
I’m going to send myself to bed without supper for saying that...
Republicans are stupid. The same people who gave us Romney, want to give us Trump.
Hmm, what is conspicuously absent here? The supposed unfavorability ratings among women of Cruz and the mailman’s son. Because right now, the media (run by a small handful of outlets) has now turned its guns solely on Trump, because they realize he can be nominated and the others can’t. So, expect nonstop attacks for the foreseeable future, and zero positive coverage. Trump is under attack by the left, the GOP usual suspects and 99% of the media. Constant negative polls obviously aimed at simply depressing his vote. For a while, the media at least gave Trump fairly neutral coverage in some markets. They are all on the same page now, in lock step.
