Donald Trump And The 'War On Women': GOP Confident Mogul Will Lose The Battle

Donald Trump And The 'War On Women': GOP Confident Mogul Will Lose The Battle

Ben Jacobs and Lauren Gambino 9 August 2015 It has been a dizzying few days for Donald Trump. But as the dust swirls from his latest provocation – a controversial remark about Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly – the party that has until now begrudgingly tolerated him has shown itself ready to cut him loose.

As Democrats focused with glee on Trump’s remark and what it may say about the so-called Republican “war on women”, GOP strategists said they expected the real-estate mogul would not stay the course.

On Saturday one strategist, Liz Mair, told the Guardian: “It’s a very good thing for the GOP that Trump is basically self-destructing in front of our eyes.”

Trump’s latest controversy exploded in an interview with CNN on Friday, when he appeared to imply that Kelly had questioned him so directly in the first debate on Thursday – when she quizzed him about his previous derogatory statements about women – because she was menstruating.

The real-estate mogul, who thanks to his poll numbers took centre stage in Cleveland on Thursday night, said Kelly “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”.

The remark earned him criticism from his own party, as well as from Democrats. On Friday and Saturday, several Republican challengers piled on.

“What Donald Trump said is wrong,” Jeb Bush told conservative activist Erick Erickson, who uninvited Trump from the RedState Gathering in Atlanta, which he organizes, after the candidate’s attack on Kelly.

“Your decision, I think, was the right one,” Bush added. “Mr Trump ought to apologize.”

Donald Trump has no war on women. What a joke. The left is mad at him for going pro-life and the GOP is mad at him for being successful.

It's Liz Mair and who was Hired and then Quietly fired this DC insider pro abortion, pro gay marriage and Conservative hater ..

By Scott Walker !!!!! What a odd coincidence the day after Walker attacks Trump !, Sure!,,,,, But since Team Walker has hired the ex Romney smear campaign team and lovely Brad Dayspring then is Liz Mair working as a Sub Contractor for Team Walker ?.....

She appears to be still working for the DC establishment and I wonder who?.

Here is Walker ‘s Lovely Liz

Leaving aside the issue of Trump, I wouldn't give two cents for the GOP establishment's opinion about who will lose what. These jokers were confident John McCain and Mitt Romney would win their battles.

These are American reporters who work for the Guardian and they are quoting GOP strategist, Liz Mair. The article also quotes the condemnations from Bush, Fiorina, Perry, and Huckabee.

Thank you so much. It’s nice to know, I guess, that little Scott Walker is not the choir boy he appears to be on tv and needs others to do his nasty work for him. At least when Trump launches a grenade he pulls the pin himself.

And apparently Brits are so mired in depression they think they have no role in the world and are a total victim of the USA. Pathetic tossers, to use of favorite word of theirs.

I hope Trump gets the message to start tweeting “Will any of the other candidates support me if I win the nomination?”

Excellent.

He should tweet it then ask them in the next debate? He could then say “Then why should I support you?”

Reminds me of a Jerry Clower story. It goes something like this. Marcel Ledbedder and a friend were going to move a piano out of second story home. They rigged a block and tackle from a second story window. Marcel was on the ground holding a rope with the intention of letting the piano down slowly.

The guy upstairs pushed the piano out the window and it dropped immediately to the ground, pulling Marcel up passed the second story window causing his head to hit the block and tackle. The piano burst into pieces and Marcel went flying back down past the second story window and hit the ground hard. His friend ran downstairs, knelt down to Marcel and said “Oh, speak to me, Marcel! Speak to me!”

Marcel slowly opened his eyes and said “Why should I speak to you? I passed you twice up there and you ain’t said nothin’.”

Your welcome.

It's really sad that Walker has Sold out to the Billionaire Donors and Hired the same Romney smear campaign folks who destroyed the conservative candidates during 2012 and 2008 election cycles.
The same smear merchants are back again in 2016 doing it for Walker.

Liz Mair represents every thing wrong with DC and the Media and Walker having her piling the day after his Trump attack is no coincidence .

It's good to know Team Walker has the lovely Liz Mair on retainer .
Ugh.

http://www.theguardian.com/us

The Manchester Guardian was founded by John Edward Taylor in 1821, and was first published on May 5 of that year. The paper’s intention was the promotion of the liberal interest in the aftermath of the Peterloo Massacre and the growing campaign to repeal the Corn Laws that flourished in Manchester during this period. The Guardian was published weekly until 1836 when it was published on Wednesday and Saturday becoming a daily in 1855, when the abolition of Stamp Duty on newspapers permitted a subsequent reduction in cover price (to 2d) allowed the paper to be published daily.

It goes on and explains how his two sons took it over until they died and the ‘scott foundation’ took it over and from there it tells how it got to here today....

the War on Women Genji is impossible to put back in the bottle. It will haunt whom ever is the Presidental candidate—even Bush III Metrosexual. Thanks Megyn, you just gave Hillary (or Warren) the White House.

War on women? Unlike a certain beloved Dem idol, Donald Trump isn’t a sexual predator and a rapist.
