"See if you can guess.....what I am now."

The front-runner has been rewarded for his insults but this time he's gone too far for conservative women.
Donald Trump, in seemingly suggesting that Carly Fiorina isn’t attractive enough to be president, crossed the line of general decency. Again. Trump, of course, has proven thus far that, for him, there is no line at all. But the reactions of outraged conservative women show that the GOP's front-runner may have reached the outer boundaries of what even he can get away with.
“Who the hell cares what she looks like? If you want to quibble with her on policy, or quibble with her record at Hewlett Packard, that’s fair,” said Katie Packer Gage, a GOP strategist who worked on Mitt Romney’s 2012 campaign and whose firm is now working for Marco Rubio. “But people should not be judged by their appearance."
“There’s already enough pressure on women than to have to deal with this pig who thinks Heidi Klum is no longer attractive because she got a little bit old," Gage said. "A guy who trades in wives because they get old is what women face every day and are disgusted by. I hate to break it to him, but Melania is going to get old too."
The blustery billionaire has remained atop the polls of the Republican presidential field for two months, in spite of – or, perhaps, because of – the insults he has hurled at his rivals and the broadly disparaging remarks about women, veterans and Hispanics that would likely sink a normal politician.

Double standard.
Oh goody, another hit piece from politico. And, gosh darned it - 2 GOP women think he is a pig. This is devastating!
Its the curse of talking off the cuff. He continually says things he shouldn’t, occasionally walks them back, occasionally doubles down.
Really, he shouldn’t have a chance at the presidency. If people believed that the traditional politicians would do what they said they’d do, he would not even be in consideration. But no one believes anything any of them say.
They do believe that he will build the fence, and they do believe he will protect their sovereignty. Thats pretty minimalist if you think about it, and its shameful that almost none of the others can even be trusted to do that.

That says it all =)
"See if you can guess.....what I am now."
Trump is no prize in the looks department.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
I suppose this gets him more attention though.
Did you know he's also a honey badger?
Whom do you believe?

Trump as Bluto — perfect!
But where is Popeye when you need him?
LOL!!!!
LoL.
Most liberal women, in their heart of hearts, like a bad boy.
They’re good lays but you go to church to meet your lifelong mate.
This is a bogus, hit piece by Politico.
Maybe two months ago, Politco and NRO had some claim to be “news” and “opinion making” outlets. But their blatant, almost cement-headed unwillingness to even try to understand what Trump represents to people has relegated them both, I think, to the “ash heap of journalistic history.”
Trump isn’t “the GOP frontrunner” he’s their worst nightmare.
That’s weird. They didn’t feel that way about Slick Willie during that Monica thing.
Women who use two surnames are either lesbians or ugly feminists who can't get dates.
In other words -- exactly the women Trump's talking about.
GOp women? Did they speak to every single one and receive that response or are they extrapolating after speaking to Cincinatus’ Wife? Yup, I went there, ducking already!
