WOW, #repealthe19th is trending #2 right now. GrOPers gone crazy?

✭ DCBlueStar ✭ ?@DCBlueStar
I just saw a woman tweet that we should #RepealThe19th.
Her bio says "Defender of the US Constitution." Oh, the irony.

Joy Reid ?@JoyAnnReid
What a day for some genius to launch the hashtag #repealthe19th

Geraldine ?@everywhereist
Shooting massacre --> "Don't you DARE touch the 2nd Amendment."
Women denouncing a sexual predator --> "REPEAL THE 19th!"

Imagine being so completely frightened by empowered women that you'd destroy our democracy just to spite them. Cowards.

Joy Reid @JoyAnnReid
Here, courtesy of @mcimaps is the House vote to approve the 19th Amendment, for all you #repealthe19th enthusiasts. See anything familiar?

It was almost entirely against the misogynists with occasional cries of "a troll started this"

Many Republicans are saying:

Angelo Lamberto ?@AngeloLamberto 3 minutes ago Retweeted Angelo Lamberto
Well...who would have thought I could be more ashamed...these hashtags and stories tonight #NextFakeTrumpVictim #RepealThe19th shameful

Angelo Lamberto @AngeloLamberto
I have never been more ashamed of who my party nominated than I am today #Trumptapes


So the backlash is coming from all directions, from the majority in our democracy. Trump and followers are soon to know what a minority they are, a lot like the #BundyTeaParty discovering America didn't hasten to put them in charge of the world.

abstained! But the green in Western and Central states (except the abstaining portion of Idaho and the nos/abstaners in TX) is overwhelmingly "Yes."

This is one reason why I still believe that sites such as 538 and PEC have underestimated HRC's support in the non-coastal Western states.

I truly hope that I am right, even though HRC can win without those that are currently considered "red." I want there to be a Hillary and Dem landslide!
