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.

True...I haven't seen any of his sons prnacing around in a tutu or making commercials proclaiming to be a proud and vocal atheist. Trump must be doing something right.
His ex-wives aren’t exactly out trashing him either.
Evana came to his defense a few weeks back.
Yesterday someone posted Fiorina’s catty remarks about Boxer made when she was campaigning there. Selective outrage much?
Politico twisting what Trump said, what a surprise. Trump was not commenting on Carly’s general attractiveness, he was reacting to the “mean mom/witch face” she had on when the clip appeared. All men and many women instinctively recoil from that. Hillary uses it too. Thatcher could make tough statements without using it, for example.
Trump pushes a lot of buttons that are locked deep in our DNA. Those who have subjugated those ancient urges and reactions cause worse problems for themselves. (See metrosexual and feminist).
Does anyone remember reading 1/10,000th as much negative reactions to Barack Obama running for president?
Trump isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but seriously folks, this is an eye-opening moment.
Look at the collective against Trump.
That alone should scare the —— out of anyone not thinking of voting for him.
Be on their side, that side...
If I hadn’t planned on voting for him prior to this, I would be after this.
Yep, yesterdays pol had Trump way up with female republicans and right on que Politico come out with this.
Nice try Politico your failure is now complete.
Just what do you find "piggish" about any of that?
If he was spot on in his assessment of Carly why wont he own those remarks? Instead he comes up with the lame excuse that he was talking about her persona. Worse than what he said is the fact that he is being a coward and not owning his remarks.
Just because he was correct doesn't mean he wasn't impolitic.
Trump, made his Kids work for their Allowance when they were young, just like my Father did to me and my Brother.
If you wanted money, you worked for it. If you needed some and were a little short, you had to ask and explain why you needed it. There was never an expectation that you would end up getting it, but asking my Mother gave me a better chance of success.
My Father’s favorite saying was, “what do you NEED it for?”. It was never, what do you WANT it for.
I recall working to make a buck since I was eight years old. Paper Routes, Painting, Mowing Lawns, Pulling Weeds, whatever it took. Somehow, I was pretty successful in Life.
How times have changed. People nowadays treat their Kids like Victims. No wonder we are a Welfare State, poor things.
Trump calls Rosie a slob and he is attacked and berated.
This woman calls Trump a pig and she is being informative and assertive. Makes total sense.
It's the Donald Trump Show, he gets headlines, twitter, you-tubes everything. He doesn't have to spend a penny on the campaign to win it.
His strategy of wrapping a candidate is in statement makes everyone look at that candidate and then examine the candidate. Carly is a rising threat to Trump. He is now forcing everyone to look at her, to examine her statements, drilling down. In 90 days she will be gone.
He lets the low intelligence media crowd do his dirty work. They actually fawn over carrying his water. They are so stupid
Its called the art of intimidation. Trump knows that his success is being built on ignoring media-generated 'mores'. Carley would be wise to just ignore it or just shoot back about his goofy hair.
Quite frankly I could care less about how someone looks at this point. We have a President in the White House openly blessing our enemies. And GOP women are concerned about what now?
This female, who got a ride from someone in order to vote for Ronald Reagan in 1980, is voting for Trump.
I do not mind one bit that he can be brash, and sometimes downright rude, when necessary. For many weekends in 2012, I worked (boots on the ground) for Romney. Went to homes and pounded on doors, in bad weather, distributed literature, manned phones.. With people swearing at me and turning their dogs on me, or slamming their doors in my face.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about what he said about Carly Fiorina’s face, or Ben Carson questioning his faith. I like both of those individuals but they are not for a time such as this.
I am interested in someone who is going to knock over the furniture and shame politicians in public for the whores that they are. Nothing thrills me more than the notion that the money they have used for bribes is worth nothing this time.
This Iran deal was the last straw for me. I’ve had enough.
I'm goin' to hell for this one but ...
my first reaction was "can you take a sugar cube out of my hand"
Trump’s numbers are UP with women... what’s this guy talking about?
I’m really getting tired of this idiotic idea that if you say something about Fiorino or Her Royal Cankles that you’re somehow attacking all women. He’s attacking other individual candidates. If they can’t take the heat - get out of the kitchen. When he says Heb is low energy he’s not attacking all men. He’s commenting on these individuals and it’s time to call out their coddlers in the media and those who want someone to be “gentlemanly” and then get kicked in the ass by the Dems who have stopped at nothing to destroy our country.
I know none of us are perfect, but you complain about me and yet support Donald Trump -- Mr. King of trash talk? Please spare me your sanctimony. I DO think it's telling of the man's character based on whom he chooses for his wives.
Ronald Reagan was married young the first time, and I understand they had some pain. But Nancy was really quite genuine and intelligent. I don't think I could sit in a room with any of Trump's wives and have an intelligent conversation. They're all about clothes, makeup, and hair. (The last one is barely an American - are any of them?) Just NOT my cup of tea, and ditto for most principled *conservative* women I know.
Hillary sat front row for his third wedding. You're cool with that?
The first line should be italicized.
Trump inherited millions from his father.
Ben Carson’s mom couldn’t afford cotton candy at the state fair.
I’m not sure I’m buying the “rags to riches” theme in Trump’s life.
