Why Suburban Women Cost the Republicans the House
American Thinker.com ^ | November 10, 2018 | Steve Marks

Did suburban women cost the Republicans the House of Representatives?

Most suburban women can be easily persuaded to vote for Democrats because they do not think seriously. Serious thinking in the political sense is concerned with where we are going as a nation, our moral values, our long-term prosperity, our security, our freedom and its inherent responsibilities. G.K. Chesterton said, “Thinking means connecting things, and stops if they cannot be connected” (Orthodoxy, 1908).

Don’t get me wrong – there are many intelligent, serious conservative women in Fairfax County (not to mention the nation as a whole), but they are sadly in the minority. From my limited and unscientific perspective, the reason most suburban women voted for Democrats can be divided into three categories:

  1. They don’t have to think seriously.
  2. They have never been taught to think seriously.
  3. They really don’t want to think seriously.

They Don’t Have to Think Seriously

Basically, the 19th Amendment was a huge mistake.

Or maybe it was vote fraud that flipped the house.

You don't have to think too seriously to ask yourself if you are better off with a Republican or a Democrat.

The Republicans need to get their message across better, including the message that they are "different" than the Democrats in a good way.

The GOP lost the House because they did NOTHING when they had it. That left them with no issue upon which to run. What were they going to say?

“Hey, elect us so that we can. . . “

But by doing nothing they had no credibility to be believed that they could do anything.

What makes you think this was planned by POTUS all of his rallies were for senators. Fastest way to drain the swamp of nevertrumpers like Ryan et all....

I am convinced that we, as a nation, suffer from systemic, widespread, long-occurring election fraud.

Not just people voting who should not, but election officials in DemonicRat cities manufacturing vast numbers of fake votes. That is why they need so many people registered to vote, so behind the scenes they can vote for those people who don’t show up. Dead people, people moved out of district, fictitious people, lazy people, double and triple voters, etc - doesn’t matter as long as they get on the voter rollers, they can be voted by the election officials.

"because they do not think seriously"

Emotion-driven voters who do not envision the long term consequences of their vote. FEMALES PROVED THIS IN 2008, AND AGAIN IN 2012 (ODUNGA)!

I do see that Sinema has nicer hair than McSally, however. Yes their voting decisions can be THAT SHALLOW.

I think MARRIED females tend to vote more sensibly because they have a man around who can keep their decisions in check.

SINGLE FEMALES? FOWGETTABOWDIT!

Kaslin - Thanks for posting this. But no, I don’t think the House was lost because of the suburban women. I think it was lost because the Republican candidates did not campaign on the winning issues. I just don’t accept that blame can be passed off to others when the candidates did not mention items of interest. Real men, and women, take responsibility for their own actions. They don’t blame others.

That’s my take. The GOP congress gave voters little to vote for. The one thing they campaigned on in 2016, repealing Obamacare showed they were liars. Ryan was never on Team Trump. They did it to themselves.
