Not a problem at the voting polls..

Trump won the women vote in 11 of the first 15 primaries. He has alpha male appeal.
I should have stated, these are swing vote women. . And again, primary voting is way different than general election.

I can tell you that republican women in TN hate Trump. The big conspiracy theory floating among that circle is that they believe Trump's campaign is intentionally trying to sabotage the republican party and get Hillary elected. They really believe that.
I said this before, I think it started this way. It was all a ruse. Once he's campaign got rolling tho I think his ego kicked in & now he's in it to win it. Head to head against Hillary in the fall I think he'll be brutal on her & her past. He won't go lightweight against her. However yeah I do think it started off just to shake things up over there. Mostly, I think he wanted to ruin Jeb, which he did.
I really don't think he'll do good against her. The Clinton's are good at zingers, and he does not look good in debates. His thing is swinging insults with no one throwing them back. He will definitely go after Bill fucking other women, and I'm sure she'll nail him on his own failures as a husband... Throwing rocks in glass mansions will not pay off.

Trump is Teflon right now. He can beat Hilary and he can lose to her too. Too early to tell.
Re: 2016 Presidential Election Thread
The other day I bought the more expensive New Balance Shoes because they are MADE IN THE USA. the less expensive kind are made in China or Taiwan. I saw that and said, "Fuck this" and bought the 990's which are a superior shoe and about $150. I did my part to make America great again lol.
What a slogan. Trump should run with that...

The joke will be on them when Hillary gets to pick. Don't expect a moderate from her.
I read a conspiracy where you don't need to have been a judge to be on the Supreme Court, just a law degree maybe. And that after a full year of turning down whatever candidate Obama chooses, if Hillary wins, she would then nominate Barack Obama. Just to dare them into turning down 2 consecutive appointees.
Odds are a million to one, but would be pretty funny.
The rightwingoverse would explode....

Hillary is sharp, and quick on her feet. They'll be prepared for everything he's got.
It's also going to be tough on Trump to get away with talking to a woman like he did previously with men. Or then again...maybe it won't. Either way, she'll have plenty of ammunition against him (Trump writing the Clintons checks, or Trump saying she does a fantastic job etc) if he chooses to go that route I'd imagine.

He's going to destroy her. I really do hope she brings up those checks.....all it does is prove Trump's point that these people can be bought off. I'll bet he brings up the checks before she does.
I honestly don't know how she can prepare for him. He's unpredictable, will say anything,etc. Hillary cant even bring up women issues in a debate. Trump just has to say something like, "Have you met your husband Hillary? He's got an interesting track record with women, especially when he likes to smoke cigars". Crowd erupts in laughter, Hillary looks extremely uncomfortable, and might say something that will turn her supporters against her.
These politicians better be careful when going up against him. He's not fucking around and he's not gonna play the little games both sides play where they argue in front of the audience and toast each other backstage.
A woman whose husband has to bang interns and stick cigars up their twats is going to "nail Trump on his own failures as a husband"?
Pass that crack pipe my way...
Re: 2016 Presidential Election Thread
The republican party is totally helpless. Its really been thirty years in the making. The embrace of the christian coalition in the eighties, the right wing conspiracy nuts in the 90s and then the tea party. They did it to themselves.
I agree they are helpless but they are not to blame for Trump. If Dem primaries weren't rigged....Trump would've flipped a coin on which party to run in. The rise of Trump is due to the mass corruption, partisan gridlock, partisan hacks continuously bickering acting like there's much of a difference, the garbage spewed on radio,etc. in the 21st century. Telling us there's gonna be change when its just more of the same.
The average American is waking up and realizing what a nightmare its been. This has gone way beyond your standard four year cycle of blue/red horse shit.
Both sides are equally to blame for being up their shit creek fast approaching without a paddle. THEY created the environment for a Trump like figure to rise. If this one loses....the next one is going to be worse.....and that one IS going to win. Why? Because four years of Hillary(or any of these politicians) is just going to give us another four years of the same thing. If you think a lot of people are waking up now, wait until the next election cycle when its still the same thing.
Change is coming....and not the kind of change where its the exact same thing you said you hated four years earlier but now embrace simply because its got a blue stamp instead of red. Those days are about over....if you liked that kind of change, enjoy it while its still here.
We're entering a new era. Yes its scary....exciting....we live in interesting times.
