“among women he [Bielat] trails … 54.7 to 30.2”
Please, someone PLEASE explain this to me.

OK. I lived there for 22 years. A very substantial number of those women hate men, hate masculinity, and hate Marines most of all.
There's not just one answer. There are the young single career girls in Boston who always vote for pro-abortion candidates. There are a lot of married liberal women in the wealthy suburbs. And then there are older women in the mill towns who would never vote for a Republican either, because of Social Security, the Great Depression, and ethnic tribalism: it's how they were brought up. Add them up and that's Barney's vote.
