These were GOP women voters, more likely devout Evangelicals, not feminists.
Chavez and Hussein wrecked their own countries and died. Not exactly beating us to a pulp. Putin is invading other countries and running his own economy into the ground. Strongmen try to control too much. Similarly, Trump thinks we need to put better people in charge of government when what we really need to do is cut government and give control back to the people. Giving up power is not the natural instinct of the alpha male strongman.
Cruz is not a compassionate useful idiot. He’s strong, firm and uncompromising without being a bully who goes into an uncontrolled rage against anyone who offends him. Cruz is not power mad or power hungry. He is ready to shrink government and give power to the people rather than just try to “run it better.”
If you think feminist entitlements haven't invaded the evangelical church, you haven't volunteered in a church lately. Are you aware that the divorce rate among evangelicals is as high as in the unchurched population?

I said, "beating us to a pulp economically", and was specifically referring to Trump's main points of how China, Mexico and the Middle Eastern dictatorships are beating us on trade deals and oil prices and sending their illegals over here and devaluing currency as well. Let's not forget his other points about the TPP and the Iran nuclear deal. Every other thug has his hand in our pocket, and he is the only one experienced at tough negotiations with people quite outside our Constitutional frame of courtly behavior.

Giving up power is not the natural instinct of the alpha male strongman. Cruz is... strong, firm and uncompromising without being a bully who goes into an uncontrolled rage against anyone who offends him. Cruz is not power mad or power hungry.

Your post reveals that you don't know what you're talking about regarding how Trump would run things or how a great organization is run and the difference between a national economy and a global economy that runs by different rules; so I'll chalk it up to a lack of executive experience on your part. There is a vast, vast gulf between putting better people in charge of government and cutting government -- there have to be some government leaders, even if their job is to incrementally dismantle their huge bureaucracies under Trump's guidelines, so that we don't descend into anarchy. We can't expect even Cruz to just shut it all down and throw all functions people are now engaged with into chaos without any transitional planning.
Secondly, where is the "uncontrolled rage" of which you write? I saw a well-aimed, if crudely expressed, series of statements in a conversational tone of voice about the dubious claims of a rival in the race whom pollsters and the media has set up, it appears falsely, as a neck-and-neck contender.
If I were you, I wouldn't bet too much on your political instincts in this race.
