Debate Could Hurt G.O.P. in Women’s Eyes, Some Fear
The New York Times ^ | August 8, 2015 | Patrick Healey and Jeremy W.Peters

After Senator Marco Rubio of Florida insisted at the Republican presidential debate that rape and incest victims should carry pregnancies to term, aides to Hillary Rodham Clinton could barely contain their delight at his unyielding stance, rushing to tell reporters at her headquarters that those remarks would hurt Mr. Rubio with female voters.

When Donald J. Trump chose on Friday to stand by his slights against women during the debate, saying the Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly “behaved very badly” as a moderator — and then promoting a Twitter message calling her a “bimbo” — feminists were not the only ones outraged: the chairwoman of the New Hampshire Republican Party accused Mr. Trump of chauvinism.

And in response to multiple male candidates saying they would shut down the federal government over financing for Planned Parenthood, the Democratic National Committee emailed talking points to allies within an hour saying that among the losers at the debate were “American women, who were attacked at every turn.”...

There is no war on women.

Democrats have the thin skilled women’s vote. Real women know if Rosie dishes it out she’ll have to learn to take it.

That was interesting.. The Fox panel demonstrated perfectly why Trump needs to keep his options open.

That’s why I think these debates are stupid in the first place.

They are moderated by Democrats whose goal is to make the entire party look bad.

The leftist Wikipedia defines that phrase, “Some say...” in references as weasel words.

Any harm done to the GOP was done by their own hand. They sicked their attack broad Kelly and her two stooges on the field trying to prop up Bush. Now they should suffer the repercussions of their folly.

I hate when they speak of the women`s vote as if they all vote the same way. I am waiting for someone on air to say what I say... Christian women do not vote the same way liberal women vote.

There is no such thing as a liberal Christian, let alone a liberal Christian woman

What women? Unlike the women of the left we do not have skin of tissue paper and just ignore the supposed insult. II do find it difficult to comprehend that liberal women are offended by words, but don’t care a whit about the babies ripped from wombs and dissected in pans, one has to be quite hardhearted for that.
