Trump has a problem with female voters. Pence could make it even worse.

Donald Trump has already had problems making inroads with female, gay and minority voters. His vice-presidential pick, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, could make things even worse.

Pence, the Republican governor of Indiana, has endorsed conservative legislation on abortion, gay rights and immigration both in his home state and while in Congress, where he was consistently ranked as one of the most right-leaning members of the House. He attempted to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood funding, supported a measure that made English the nation's official language and signed one of the nation's strictest abortion laws earlier this year.

Pence is almost certain to appeal to socially conservative and evangelical voters who have been skeptical of Trump, a brash, thrice-married New Yorker with little appetite for fighting the culture wars. By picking Pence, Trump added his inverse to the ticket: a social-issues warrior with a long, very conservative track record.

Those ‘womyn’ shouldn’t even be allowed to vote; much less ‘serve’ in the Senate. The 19th Amendment = socialism.

Maybe they all have infestations of small rodent pets: the large lady on the right seems to have no eyebrows at all, and I’m dubious about the one on the left (hard to tell with the bangs).

That photo could easily be a still from some sitcom episode where a bunch of goofy-looking women hold a meeting where they complain that men only see them as sex objects… the whole gag being that no man would see them as…

Well, you know. "It's gold, Jerry. Comedy GOLD!"

No mention of Hillary’s man problem.

Aside from the WaPo WH thing, a lot of her interest seems to be in LGBT stuff (from her articles, etc.). There’s not much on her personal life like ‘marriage’ kids or the like but that might not mean anything.

But, in the end, I’m just pulling one out my a$$ and thinking she goes with the Bissell vs. the Stanley Steemer approach.

Hillary’s man problem is far bigger than Trump’s problem with single brainwashed women.

I looked for a picture of the families on stage but couldn’t find one.

This business about women largely concerns young women and perhaps especially millineal women.

The treasure trove of exciting Trump and Pence kids is going to be revealed as they speak at the convention. Those fantastically photogenic and down to earth kids will be established as role models, genuine role models to be believed and followed.

Compared to dim hillary these brilliant stars will capture the feelings of well being needed by so many women

The compost isn’t even making the motions when it comes to objectivity.

The good news is that not many really care what they have to say.

do the women attending know about or even care about this.

I'm sure they know about it.

Liberal MSM - Trump is doomed because of his VP pick.

Yeah, like people vote for #2.

This isn’t candid advice.

Killing babies and rallying around deviants brings misery, and that pic demonstrates well the hardened faces and empty eyes of those who support the evil.

Obviously not, but this is a signal to all in the media that their task now is to “find” things that “prove” this true.
