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.”

This is going to be a very ugly two years. And at the end what will we have to show for it? The vile Hildebeest in office.

The anti-Trump brigade of hypocrites have falsely determined that Trump is in a war on women.

How stupid of them!

Its not a bad boy thing. Its an alpha male thing. Without money, Jeb would not have attracted his wife. Even with money she felt free to repeatedly embarrass him. Mr Trump’s ex endorsed him for president...big difference.

Mr Trump will have no problem attracting female votes.

Leaving aside the issue of Trump, I wouldn't give two cents for the GOP establishment's opinion about who will lose what.

Well if anyone knows about losing, it's the GOPe.

The establishment GOP demands loyalty from Trump, but is ready to toss him under the bus and hoping he fails.
That only makes sense to someone like Barry Obama.

These people are disgusting slimebags. Creating false narratives, political newspeak and they do not belong in a Democracy.

Lampoon alert



FauxNews has just released this vido frame showing Trump leaving the GOP race...

It's the first known photo of Trump leaving a Republican race in North America.

Other news outlets aren't so sure, and think the footage may have been faked.

Yep, proof positive he hates women. He has picked more male winners on his Apprentice/Celebrity Apprentice shows. Can’t deny the facts. There it is, plain as day. Haters gotta hate.... Oh, wait, if he’d just flipped on one winner the score would be even steven males vs. females. Hmm, never mind. Guess he doesn’t hate women.

What the GOP (and all the other career pols) fail to realize is that millions of Americans are sick of their crap.
