Interesting, Have Noticed Some Kim Davis Backlash Among Republican Women

... ones I happen to know... They also happen to be RW Christian as well... However, they are sorting out that what Davis is doing has nothing to do with Christianity.

Davis is going to be under the bus by next week if they can't hold that demographic.
