There was an earlier article discussing a poll of black women asking about Trump’s appeal to them. The conclusion: they see him as an alpha male and like that trait. Policy was not a driver for their support.

Ah, I see. But you know what, I can't help but see that as a positive. Women have to reach a point of getting sick and tired of a metrosexualized population ( like 'Demolition Man' ). If they are snapping out of the feminazi led war on males and traditional society then I am not worried, I'm encouraged.

Policy issues solely driving an election is what policy wonks expect. It also is how a free republic eventually morphs into a selfish society full of people voting for other people's money. The issues that policy wonks bait their hooks with are the key here, welfare, health care, whatever. So when you perceive that the people are concerned about issues, well, this is not necessarily a great thing.

It's also a negative. I think this mindset is what causes the attraction to "bad boys". They come off as strong and confident. In that part of their world, it leads to too many women getting into abusive relationships. In politics, I would rather they use policy and integrity as the selection drivers.

For example, which politician would you expect Sarah Palin to endorse, the one whose abortion stance was "pro-life, life begins at conception" or "pro-life, with exceptions for rape, incest or if early enough in the pregnancy"?

I would have expected the former based on her defense of Trig when challenged on why she didn't abort him. But she chose Trump.

And before Trump folks blast me, I am using Trump's comments from a Janurary 2015 Bloomberg News interview. For a checkbox answer, he gives "pro-life", but for an essay answer, it's "pro-life, but..." it seems.
