Why are Republican Women Republicans Again?

     A new piece at Vox sort of says it all:

    "Donald Trump has called various women fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals. He said Republican presidential contender Carly Fiorina gave him "a massive headache" just by talking. He retweeted someone who called Fox News's Megyn Kelly a "bimbo." To many critics, these insults reek of sexism."

    "But despite the press coverage of Trump's offensive comments, Republican women don't seem to dislike the billionaire much more than they do other Republican candidates."

    It never really makes much sense to me why any women are Republican but this sort of says it all. But I can't argue with them not seeing Trump any worse than the other candidates.

    If anything, he's better on women's issues despite his 'interpersonal sexism'-he does much better on what you might call 'institutional sexism.'

   Listen, anyone who has read me for any time at all knows I'm a Hillary man. But I absolutely would vote for Trump as opposed to Jeb, Rubio, or Scott Walker.

  At this point how does it get worse with Walker? I'm sure he'll have an answer soon. He needs answers as he's doing very poorly.

  I mean the three serious GOP candidates have all now ruled out exceptions to rape or incest on abortion and Walker even rules out a life of the mother exception.

 So how could anyone be held in much lower esteem than that?

 What's further interesting about that Vox poll is that not one of the 17 candidates listed poll better with women than men.

 P.S. Scott Walker claims that his coming out for a wall and maybe even a repeal of the 14th Amendment had nothing to do with Trump laying all this out first in his in depth immigration plan.

 No, Walker already thought about all this four or five months ago.

So Walker though about it first but forgot to tell us about it until after Trump did. So Walker didn't do a great job of publishing his plan until Trump.

That's fine though. Walker as one of the three serious candidates has advocated a plan that uses the logic of the Dred Scott decision. We have an actual record of that.

See this is why the GOP is so worried about Trump.

Lindsay Graham may talk about the undoing of Trump but what he's really worried about is that Trump is undoing the Republican party.

Trump is a bellwether that gives us the real position of the GOP including Jeb.

This is the position of the Republican party on immigration. I'm sure if it were put to them they'd probably support the return of segregation too. Rand Paul has said that openly.
