He’s right, the woman card is really effective. It worked so great for all the female presidents we’ve had in the past. The vice presidents too.

Outreach, it never stops!

Please, someone ask him about rape prevention. I’m sure he’ll give a measured and reasonable answer that reflects his view of women.

As Asif Mandvi once said, incredulously, to an outrageous racist, “You know that we can hear you, right?”

It produced a ton of VHS and DVD sales for Richard Simmons, but that’s a different discussion for another day.

He really is an idiot. He thinks he is locking her out on this issue by rushing to bring it up repeatedly and early. In reality, he is framing the General election precisely the way she wants.

I predicted a long time ago that the GOP would go just as heavy with the misogyny as they did racism with Obama this year. I was wrong. They are actively going with it front and center, which means the morons on the fringes are going to be pouring out in droves…not with dog whistles, but with freaking bull horns.

This fall is going to be an unmitigated disaster for the GOP.

I do kind of wish he would tone it down until he gets to 1237 though. Although it doesn’t seem to be hurting him, and Cruz would be just as easy to knock off …

Only if people get out and vote against him. If people pretty much go “I’d rather sit this out than vote for either of them”, it isn’t helping very much.

It would help if she did something like quip back that she wasn’t yelling…she was issuing a battle cry…

What must be doubly maddening for GOP power brokers and RNC officials is the knowledge that counseling Trump to tone it down will have no effect on him. It may even produce the opposite of their wishes, causing him to escalate his misogyny. Similar to Manafort’s pleas to “act Presidential”.

The only one playing the “woman card” is Trump. Hillary is running on issues and on her experience. Of course, there will be plenty of women who will vote for her primarily because she’s a woman, but Hillary doesn’t need to make an explicit pitch.

“…Donald Trump’s “major foreign policy address” on Wednesday—a written speech, which he read off a teleprompter—was even more incoherent than his impromptu ramblings of the past several months. In fact, it may stand as the most senseless, self-contradicting foreign policy speech by any major party’s presidential nominee in modern history.”

I guess YOU don’t realize you need the ‘women’ too Donald…but then you’ll just send out women that have decided they have no worth unless they attach themselves to you to demean other women for ‘thinking’…when they don’t think like you. Uh huh.

I’m hanging it up for today. Between the coverage yesterday and where it seems to be headed today , I’m suffering from Trump fatigue.

He pulled this crap in the primaries and it worked. Trump is in the big leagues now. Lets see if the bullying tactics work on Hillary. I can’t wait. I think she is in an entirely different league than anybody he punched in the primaries.

I hear exactly what you’re saying. After a while, it’s like having OD’d on the “brown acid.”
