Why? I think you're making a grave strategic error. Do you realize that if he wins the nomination, he has a very good chance of winning? He's going to bring people to the polls who haven't voted for years. People have underestimated Trump from the beginning, and seem likely to continue to do so until he's sworn in!

Trump has built a winning coalition that includes zero minorities, women, and former POW's. The angry white male vote is all you need, as President Romney can attest to.

And electing a delusional megalomaniac who uses bigotry as his main campaign weapon to the Oval Office somehow makes you happy just because it is somehow giving a finger to the Establishment?

Really?

He's going to get more minorities than any republican has gotten in awhile. He'll also get the same amount of women as any repub has gotten.

Besides the angry white male didn't show up for Romney, he was a wimp.

Logger may be right on this point. The polls that other posters have been citing indicate that Trump's approval rating among women is similar to the approval ratings of other candidates.

There are a lot of people like my self that like Trump because he is not being politically correct and dares to speak his mind, it has nothing to do with hate. if putting up a wall and making people come here legally, then I'm all for it. Unlike Obama that wants to give them amnesty.

Couple Trump supporters I've teased, able to get away with it as I've known them for years, both expressed frustration with Republicans who've broken repeated promises to make things better by kicking lazy bums off welfare, ending abortion, getting rid of Obama and other illegals, making them proud again.

And similarly ridiculous to pretend that he won't get minorities. Trump is likely to have a greater share of the minority vote, particularly the Black vote, than any Republican has enjoyed in a long time. And no former POWs? How many of them are there voting? A few hundred?

If you're standard is not being politically correct and speaking his mind, vote for Bernie Sanders. At least in that event, we can avoid a war because he won't call the head of state of some country a whore.

Well, it may be that neither Fudbucker nor Logger has a particularly accurate assessment. Although Logger was a bit closer to the actual numbers.

There was also a strong gender gap among Trump’s supporters, even before the Megyn Kelly debate dustup. Men typically support Trump by at least three points more than his overall total, while women back him by two to six points less.

[snip]

We see an even larger gender gap in answers to the “would never vote for” question. Before the debate, about 36 percent of women said they would never vote for Trump, compared with between 25 and 29 percent of men. One cannot imagine that women have become more favorable toward Trump since then.

I lived in Vermont under Sanders he is still a socialist no matter what he says and voted I against him in every election. He claims to support us Veterans while voting at the same time to cut our retirement benefits . he says one what people want to hear and then just does what he wants.

Here's one from all the way back in late July. I'll try to find a more recent one.

Quote:

Donald Trump has 'huge lead' among Repuplican women voters, polls say

Mr. Bush bests Mr. Trump among all Republicans and among male voters. Mr. Trump, however, triumphs among conservatives, independents and female voters. He has a “huge lead” among women, Mr. Zogby said - 26 percent to Mr. Bush’s 10 percent, and 7 percent for Mr. Walker.

This is not the first survey which reveals Mr. Trump has appeal for women voters - support deemed crucial by analysts who have also warned that the candidate’s style might not appeal to the ladies. The findings suggest otherwise.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...blican-women-/

Here's another one:

http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/dat...-votes-for-now

Quote:

Another poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos found Trump's female support fell slightly, from 26 percent on Aug. 3 to 20 percent the week after the GOP debate in Cleveland. However, a third of women randomly interviewed on the street in Pennsylvania by Gallup said they were Trump supporters and that their loyalty to him hasn't faltered. These numbers suggest Trump could lose fans here and there, but most of them are in it for the long haul.

And from August 18:

Quote:

The poll finds evidence of a slight gender gap in support for Trump, who has faced public questions recently about his treatment of women, though he does lead the field among both men and women. Trump stands at 27% among Republican men and at 20% among Republican women, a gap just outside the margin of error for each group.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/18/politi...l-poll-debate/

And this article from the New York Times states:

Quote:

In poll after poll of Republicans, Mr. Trump leads among women...

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/23/us...peak.html?_r=0

So to say that women aren't going to vote for Trump is pretty much to deny reality at this point.

Bottom line is, Trump's approval ratings among women are higher than for any other Republican candidate.

I'll give you another one, the reason women will like him is precisely because he's a strong man, women like that. The whole republican field since McCain till present have simply been wimps. Trumps whole appeal is getting out there and saying what needs to be said so we can begin to turn the destruction of our country around.

I think this stuff is being saved for the second and third laps. We're only just off the starting line. At this juncture, which of the GOP "contenders" is willing to run against misogyny? And which of them has to when Teh Candidate gives them the votes on a platter.

The spin that Trump isn't so bad among women voters ignores reality. It's almost like David Duke pointing to a couple of black voters who supported him for whatever reason. In the most recent poll that gives results by gender (a local Fox News poll in Michigan), Trump trails both Rubio and Bush among women voters and they both trail Hillary.

In the likely event that he rises to the top of the GOP ticket and makes his way into the general, he is going to get decimated by the woman's vote. You know it, I know it.

Stop with the contrarian position. Your basically saying Jews would vote for Hitler. Their #1 enemy. Trump is a woman's #1 enemy.

I disagree with the last sentence. Most of the other R candidates are actually worse.

Doghouse Reilly · 24th August 2015, 09:41 AM

Don't forget, Trump hasn't even begun capitalizing on his family yet in the context of the campaign. His daughters are extremely attractive, successful, poised and accomplished women. Once they get into the public eye promoting Trump, a great deal of the "Trump as anti-women" meme will be neutralized.

Huh?

Can you explain how that works?

Doghouse Reilly · 24th August 2015, 01:57 PM

The psychology of perception and credibility. Trump has reputable, accomplished, poised (and, yes, very attractive...whether we like it or not, that matters in visual media) women who are close to him and have been for their entire lives, adding credibility to his declarations of commitment to women's issues, and detracting from the narrative that he is anti-woman.

I'm not saying it's completely rational, but as his campaign progresses, these women will likely be in the public eye supporting Trump, and it will have an effect. They come across as charming, classy, tastefully reserved, and intelligent, and these things count in our modern, television-driven campaigns, giving female voters an image that contradicts the notion that Trump isn't someone who cares about the well being of females.

I understand if you disagree that this will have any significant impact, but does that at least explain my thoughts? Or is it still unclear?

Well, personally, I cannot imagine anything that they could say that would make women forget all his documented comments.

But as I say, I have no idea what will and won't change his numbers.

I'd like to comment but unfortunately I, like many other Britons, can't actually believe that any American honestly wishes for Trump to become President of the US. Mention Trump's name here and people burst out laughing. He's a joke, a figure of fun who happens to be a nasty bit of filth at the same time.

At least in that event, we can avoid a war because he won't call the head of state of some country a whore. I lived in Vermont under Sanders he is still a socialist no matter what he says and voted I against him in every election. He claims to support us Veterans while voting at the same time to cut our retirement benefits . he says one what people want to hear and then just does what he wants.

Doghouse Reilly Adrift on an uncharted sea Join Date: Apr 2003 Posts: 3,405	Originally Posted by Ladewig D. Reilly, do you still have those links? Here's one from all the way back in late July. I'll try to find a more recent one. Quote: Donald Trump has 'huge lead' among Repuplican women voters, polls say Mr. Bush bests Mr. Trump among all Republicans and among male voters. Mr. Trump, however, triumphs among conservatives, independents and female voters. He has a “huge lead” among women, Mr. Zogby said - 26 percent to Mr. Bush’s 10 percent, and 7 percent for Mr. Walker. This is not the first survey which reveals Mr. Trump has appeal for women voters - support deemed crucial by analysts who have also warned that the candidate’s style might not appeal to the ladies. The findings suggest otherwise. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...blican-women-/ Here's another one: http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/dat...-votes-for-now Quote: Another poll conducted by Reuters/Ipsos found Trump's female support fell slightly, from 26 percent on Aug. 3 to 20 percent the week after the GOP debate in Cleveland. However, a third of women randomly interviewed on the street in Pennsylvania by Gallup said they were Trump supporters and that their loyalty to him hasn't faltered. These numbers suggest Trump could lose fans here and there, but most of them are in it for the long haul. And from August 18: Quote: The poll finds evidence of a slight gender gap in support for Trump, who has faced public questions recently about his treatment of women, though he does lead the field among both men and women. Trump stands at 27% among Republican men and at 20% among Republican women, a gap just outside the margin of error for each group. http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/18/politi...l-poll-debate/ And this article from the New York Times states: Quote: In poll after poll of Republicans, Mr. Trump leads among women... http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/23/us...peak.html?_r=0 So to say that women aren't going to vote for Trump is pretty much to deny reality at this point.

Although Logger was a bit closer to the actual numbers. There was also a strong gender gap among Trump’s supporters, even before the Megyn Kelly debate dustup. Men typically support Trump by at least three points more than his overall total, while women back him by two to six points less. [snip] We see an even larger gender gap in answers to the “would never vote for” question. Before the debate, about 36 percent of women said they would never vote for Trump, compared with between 25 and 29 percent of men. One cannot imagine that women have become more favorable toward Trump since then. Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/articl...er-republicans Bottom line is, Trump's approval ratings among women are higher than for any other Republican candidate.

I'll give you another one, the reason women will like him is precisely because he's a strong man, women like that. The whole republican field since McCain till present have simply been wimps. Trumps whole appeal is getting out there and saying what needs to be said so we can begin to turn the destruction of our country around.

Women like men who shut down criticism by saying that they are menstruating, women like men who call them bimbos, women like men that think breast milk is disgusting. I think this stuff is being saved for the second and third laps. We're only just off the starting line. At this juncture, which of the GOP "contenders" is willing to run against misogyny? And which of them has to when Teh Candidate gives them the votes on a platter. The spin that Trump isn't so bad among women voters ignores reality. It's almost like David Duke pointing to a couple of black voters who supported him for whatever reason. In the most recent poll that gives results by gender (a local Fox News poll in Michigan), Trump trails both Rubio and Bush among women voters and they both trail Hillary.

In the likely event that he rises to the top of the GOP ticket and makes his way into the general, he is going to get decimated by the woman's vote. You know it, I know it. Stop with the contrarian position. Your basically saying Jews would vote for Hitler. Their #1 enemy. Trump is a woman's #1 enemy.

Most of the other R candidates are actually worse.

His daughters are extremely attractive, successful, poised and accomplished women. Once they get into the public eye promoting Trump, a great deal of the "Trump as anti-women" meme will be neutralized.

Doghouse Reilly Adrift on an uncharted sea Join Date: Apr 2003 Posts: 3,405	Originally Posted by Ladewig Huh? Can you explain how that works? The psychology of perception and credibility. Trump has reputable, accomplished, poised (and, yes, very attractive...whether we like it or not, that matters in visual media) women who are close to him and have been for their entire lives, adding credibility to his declarations of commitment to women's issues, and detracting from the narrative that he is anti-woman. I'm not saying it's completely rational, but as his campaign progresses, these women will likely be in the public eye supporting Trump, and it will have an effect. They come across as charming, classy, tastefully reserved, and intelligent, and these things count in our modern, television-driven campaigns, giving female voters an image that contradicts the notion that Trump isn't someone who cares about the well being of females. I understand if you disagree that this will have any significant impact, but does that at least explain my thoughts? Or is it still unclear?

Well, personally, I cannot imagine anything that they could say that would make women forget all his documented comments. But as I say, I have no idea what will and won't change his numbers.
