Trump recently tweeted, Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump! This is hard to believe. More than 3 million people have seen the anti-Trump ad in which women repeat real quotes about women from Donald Trump, such as bimbo and fat pig. Trump described Megyn Kelly as having blood coming out of her wherever and mocked Carly Fiorinas appearance by saying, Look at that face. He tweeted a picture of Melania Trump next to Heidi Cruz, as if potential first ladies are contestants in a Miss Universe pageant. And when asked whether women should be punished in the event that abortion became illegal, he suggested that they should be.
Women arent amused. Seven out of ten women (67 percent) have an unfavorable view of Trump, and only 26 percent view him favorably, according to a national Quinnipiac survey from late March. Other polls have his unfavorability ratings among women even higher, at 74 percent.
Cruz has capitalized on Trumps missteps by not making similar misogynist gaffes (admittedly, this is a low bar). He also recently hosted an event The Celebration of Strong Women in Madison, Wis., featuring his wife, his mother, and none other than former competitor Carly Fiorina. All issues are womens issues, said Cruz, in one of his most humanizing events of the campaign.
This is a very encouraging development, but Cruz too has a steep hill to climb with women voters. Three in ten women surveyed had a favorable view of Cruz (29 percent) and nearly half had an unfavorable view of him (46 percent), according to the same Quinnipiac survey from late March.
Not that the GOPs leading candidates do particularly well with male voters.

Trump truly is harming himself by not bringing out all the women who he has working for him in very high levels of his organization. One of his early, very large, projects was entirely managed by a woman — before it was PC-fashionable. Why is nobody talking about this?
I was thinking he is holding this for later — until he’s running against Hillary. But maybe now would be a good time.
Women who dislike Trump are a bunch of little girls.
“Women who dislike Trump are a bunch of little girls.”
As are the metrosexual, jealous men who dislike Trump. Also “little girls”.
I’m not particularly concerned about how Trump has attacked women, per se. I am merely convinced, by Trump’s own words and actions over the past few months, that he is an obnoxious, arrogant ahole...and more importantly, that he is still a liberal, despite all of his BS to the contrary. And I don’t vote for or support liberals. At least, not knowingly.
Not as much as real conservatives dislike the leftwing slide of the atioal Review.
This is exactly what the primaries are for. People are getting a chance to see where Trump will be attacked by Hillary and think through how to respond.
Those who don’t want Cruz to attack Trump are making a mistake. It’s like “my little boy is going to play in the NFL, don’t hit him during JV practice”. I want my little boy hit during practice, especially JV, so he can learn to take a hit and handle the game of football. Trump is a big boy (regardless of Rubio’s foolish ‘hands’ comments) and can handle it too. I want Trump hit now so he can learn to handle the game of politics, before he goes up against Hillary’s well-oiled machine. I also want Cruz hit. I want the hits from inside our party to be reasonably fair, but I want them both hit - hard.
Yep. That is the new National Review. The GOP answer to Mother Earth News.
The Donald better address this problem and the sooner the better,Melania can help as can Palin,his daughter and many other fine ladies.
Bravo, spot on.
Nothing more need be said, although no true gentleman would ever speak to or of a lady with the Donald s vocabulary.
This coming from NR? That’s rich!
Men really, really dislike Hillary.
Their votes count the same as yours.
As are the metrosexual, jealous men who dislike Trump. Also little girls.
So do theirs.
Is that a Trump quote?
We know at least 8 women love Cruz,,of course he might have had to pay them first,,,
NEWS FLASH!
Men and women hate Ted Cruz.
Trump beats Ted in most primaries.
Bwa ha ha ha ha...
Women really dislike the three stooges too.
Paving the way for every attack against Hillary as being an “attack on women”.
