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.

But not a peep from POLITICO!
I think Trump is a punk. Demeaning woman isn’t funny it’s low class. I never even liked when this board would do it to Helen Thomas.
I meant no disrespect to Cincinatus’ Wife personally, though she may not believe it. I Mea Culpa for not being aware of the etiquette, my comment has much more to do with her stated agreement with the opinion with story. Had it been about oh say any other candidate with a Freeper just as adamantly opposed to I would have done the same! let the chips fall where they will.
Every woman I know is supporting Trump!
What’s weird is that if she didn’t know the mic was on and camera rolling, why does she keep looking directly into the camera?
What a double standard. He made the comments in private to associates. How many time have both friend and foe alike gone in front of cameras and commented on Trumps hair. How many time have you or one of your friends said, “Trump might be alright, but I just can’t take the hair”? The hypocrisy is so heavy hear it smells like a big pile of garbage!
Yes it is!☺
Is that Kathy Bates?
But she's still gonna be a lot younger than Trump. And for that matter older women can be a lot more attractive than their younger selves.
I think Ivana is MUCH more attractive now than when she was younger.
Compare and contrast...
Totally irrelevant.
Roll on, Trump.
You got em blowin’ holes in their panty hose.
Question???????? going back thru your posts and you don’t like Cruz, Rubio, Trump or Carly, just who is your idea of the future Commander in Chief since you are a Major in the Army?
Fiorina was speaking to someone off to her right out of view and thought the audio/camera was off. But the camera/audio was on as she mocked another female politicians looks.
The studio crew was trying to get Fiorina to shut up when she finally sees them waving their arms at her and she finally stops the mocking.☺
>> could he roll on to electoral college success? <<
Not a chance. The Dhims already have a probable lock on enough electoral votes that they only need 13 more to win.
And if you think Trump could carry purple states like Virginia, Florida, Nevada and Colorado, you must be smoking something that’s not yet legal even in the last state mentioned.
The only solution is to obliterate political correctness and at least temporarily obliterate good manners when it comes to speech
Trump somehow knows this.
I suspect it comes from being from Queens which is a politically incorrect world where people speak the truth, damn the torpedoes. Also it comes from military school where one is taught that anything short of the unvarnished truth can get you killed.
