2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumDonald Trump is an unapologetic misogynist.
He is going to saw awful things about HRC.
She will do what she always does and play the victim, take umbrage with the remarks and try to shame him into walking them back.
He will then LAUGH in her face because he doesn't give a fuck.
His poll numbers will increase because crazy GOPers love him and hate her.
Her poll numbers with lag as more and more independents, who the DNC already basically told off, become annoyed with her 90's style campaigning and politicking.
This is the election cycle that so many of you want to sign us up for.

I honestly don't think more that 35% of the nation will go for a Trump asshole, racist, sexist, bloviating, mysoginist. And only those 35% because they are the same

Hillary had to put up with misogyny back when it was socially acceptable. She'll stand up to the bully and punch him right in the nose, and we'll be standing right there with her.

auntpurl
(4,311 posts)So your assertion is that Trump will attack Hillary for being a woman, then SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, and then Trump will win?
You're missing that middle step where droves of women line up to vote for Trump.

auntpurl
(4,311 posts)so unless they have the mother of all cray cray brokered conventions, he's not getting the nomination.
if they have the aforementioned brokered convention, the GOP will implode. It will be an unmitigated garbage fire. And Hillary will cruise to the WH without even needing to dirty her pumps.

(835 posts)The repubs will putt out every stop to beat donald j trump, believe me. If Kasich comes out yes the crazy will sit out, but maybe they need a time out anyway.

DFab420
(2,466 posts)Or how about
What makes you think that all women think alike and all women like Hillary Clinton?
Because I was raised to believe that a man or a woman are the same, equal in every way, even the shitty fucked up ways.
auntpurl
(4,311 posts)I said most women fucking hate Donald Trump because he's an asshole.
But I see that you're spoiling for a fight, and I know it was a tough night for you guys last night, so I'll leave you to it.
all american girl
(1,788 posts)Yep, he will go full on crazy bully, so what else is new. I'm thinking she might know a thing or two about handling bullies. No one is afraid of Trump. The only people who are, are the one's who want something from him...she wants nothing from him.

(1,788 posts)and people saying she shouldn't shout, and her supporters reminding everyone that Bernie shouts and no one tells him to stop.
runaway hero
(835 posts)But she was erroneously implying Bernie was sexist, which pissed at a lot of people off and cost her a state. OP's point is Trump is not going to play nice at all.
all american girl
(1,788 posts)about it, imply that Bernie was sexist...I would take it that it implies the person criticizing her, they are the sexist, because I sure thought those criticizing her were playing the some old stupid sexist card...girls are not suppose to raise their voices.
runaway hero
(835 posts)And then she used it against bernie at a rally right before NH. Comment had nothing to do with BS and he got burned for no reason. That rubbed people the wrong way.
Trump is different obviously.

The percentages of women who had an unfavorable or negative impression of Trump in recent public polls are staggering: 67 percent (Fox News), 67 percent (Quinnipiac University), 70 percent (NBC News/Wall Street Journal), 73 percent (CNN/ORC) and 74 percent (ABC News/Washington Post).

(835 posts)If conservative women vote HRC, they'll be used as a pinata and the base will tell them to f off 2020 if they want Haley to run.
Hillary will still win though, just not huge blowout. Remember, anything can happen in 8 months.
CorkySt.Clair
(1,507 posts)Most women find him to be quite odious. Some may not like Hillary either but most would rather have her as President than Trump. That is the reality and it's highly unlikely trump could change that in any meaingful way over the next 6 months.
And this dynamic has really little to do with Hillary. It would be present and a huge factor, if not the defining factor, of the race whether Bernie, Warren, Al Gore or a ham sandwich were the nominee.

(53,787 posts)The Obama coalition that elected Obama twice will elect Hillary (African Americans, sensible progressive whites, Native Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, gays, women)
We outnumber the angry white voters who support Trump.
Remember, Romney won a huge majority of whites in 2012 and lost handily, and he didn't get the progressive whites.

(2,466 posts)You literally can't think of anything worth saying the defend your choice of candidate other then making this about gender.....
Everytime HRC supporters claim sexism, falsely or rightfully, they are going to ding Hillary just a little bit. At first it will be fine, no big deal but I promise you that if you can't come up with better and more thought out discussions on whether she is right for the job then no undecided independent is going to swing for her in Nov. The narrative that Drumpf will construct is that everytime he criticizes her people cry foul. It will insulate him, he will then be able to say whatever he wants about her and her record..
Just watch.

Actually, she laughed at his misogyny and used it against him, resulting in thunderous applause. No doubt, your bias compelled you to deny objective observation and ignore that (bias is tricky that way, so I understand your lack of relevance in regards to this) I think it's adorable-- all the new found sentiment and support for feminism... even when it's not sincere.

(835 posts)And Kasich gets in? The only insincere thing is this idea the debate can be won anything but the issue of the day: free trade.
