They wore pantsuits to their polling places, emulating the preferred dress of their White House candidate. Some wept with emotion and others remembered their female ancestors as they cast their vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton. But rather than witness the shattering of the ultimate glass ceiling, women across America watched an historic breakthrough slip away as Clinton failed to become the first woman elected president of the United States. Republican Donald Trump, who had waged a heated campaign painting the former secretary of state as "crooked" and threatening to put her in jail, swept to surprise victory on an anti-establishment platform. See the heartbreaking photos of Hillary Clinton supporters from last night...

Exit polls last night revealed that women voted 54% to 42% for Clinton.

Do you know how many states we lost by less than five percentage points?

We barely eeked out a win yesterday. Is it dawning on you yet why?

Women were never projected to go for Trump (or any republican ... for a long time). What can CHANGE is the percentage SHIFT. Even a small percentage shift in a large block can have a big impact. This is math.

There will be a lot of stats coming out and we will see how much a shift (if it occurred) was a factor. These evaluations are yet to be done.

In any case, conservatives need to continue to work on making those SHIFTS larger in the future in every voting block, but especially among women simply because of math and the fact that the voting block is the largest.

This is MATH and it is how campaigns evaluate their chances ... not by majorities in each group, which are pretty much set (Clinton was never going to get a majority of male votes and Trump was never going to get a majority of female votes) but by SHIFTS in the percentages in each group.

Politically speaking, “We came, we saw, she died”

A touch! A touch! A palpable touch! (in the colloquial, "That's going to leave a mark"...)

Didn’t stop the Demonrats. But, then again, we follow the laws.

You don’t have to come to me and teach me common sense.

Why do I have to go to women and teach them common sense?

This discussion is pointless.

Not a racial gap or a gender gap - it’s a culture gap. There’s a culture of people who believe the works of others are the property of all.

There’s a culture of people who believe you don’t make it alone, but you must rely first upon yourself.

If you can see past the wrapper on human beings, you’ll see there are really only two basic cultures. Has nothing to do with women, though they are different than men. Has nothing to do with being black or yellow, though it is plain that one race has clung to one of these cultural archtypes and the other has clung to the other, though that is changing for both races.

Democrats routinely get upwards of 90% of the black vote. That accounts for the “gender gap”.

Race traitors all - blacks who vote for Democrats.

Not my words either.

Malcolm X said those words verbatim. Worse, he called blacks who continued to identify with Ds even though they controlled the government but couldn’t deliver on their promises ‘chumps’.

This clip of Malcolm X runs regularly on OANN, the very best news network available. Cable systems are refusing to carry it. Watched the returns all night on OANN and they did an outstanding job. What a joy to watch the election on that network.

They have their work cut out for them. I expect that if President Trump starts going wobbly that they hammer his balls like a good journalist SHOULD.

Don’t destroy my dream of a President Ivanka.

Mmmmmm... I would start watching State of the Union addresses, hoping she would do them in black lingerie.

She’s married And the mother of three. And the most beautiful picture I’ve seen of her is her, dressed in black, kissing her infant child. You could see the love in that picture.

I’m not married and have no children. I wish I did, if I could see that everyday.
