“Republican Women” were outraged over Trump’s “locker room talk”, (the Billy Bush recording,) during the campaign and far too many of them were prepared to sacrifice the future of the republic to maintain their rare air of moral detachment and superiority. The “octopus” allegations would have certainly ended Trump’s campaign were they not so easily debunked.
As a former enthusiastic Cruz supporter, I understand the pressure that was put on us to “get on the Trump train.” The primary was over and the question decided. But now that same sort of pressure must be put on these “Republican Women” (and their lapdogs.)
Even on this thread, the hostility against Cruz supporters continues. though they are not a threat and ought to be welcomed as allies in the fight. Ah but they can be vilified in Cruz’ name. How do you identify and vilify these types of “Republican Women?” As soon as I am finished typing, someone is going to come on with a comment about not all Republican Women...blah...blah.
Back in October, “I am still solidly behind Mr. Trump,” said Minnesota state Sen. Carrie L. Rudd, a Republican. “Why are we even talking about locker-room comments from 11 years ago when there are so many important issues at hand? The people who supported Trump still do.” (Washington Times 9 Oct 2016) Why were we talking about it, Sen Rudd? Because of “Republican Women” who are working for the enemy and are ready to sacrifice this great republic, as long as they can feel that they are untainted and pure in their moral transcendence.
Lincoln was told that General Grant was drunk in his tent during a major battle. Lincoln’s response was, “Find out what he’s drinking and send a case of it to every general in the army!”
As for Cruz supporters, I'm fine with them...as long as they're willing to be Trump supporters.
But I remember those who took supporting Cruz as a license to bash Trump...and I don't forget.
Every last Republican woman I know understood the consequences and never bought the idea the Billy Bush tape disqualified Trump.
My SIL actually said, "sheesh, he was just telling the truth about a certain kind of woman, get over it!" My only argument about the Bush tape was with a man. It was pretty contentious, and it was about how we couldn't vote for Trump because of the Bush tape.
He won in spite of that tape, he overcame it because he was srong enough to do so. White Republican women voted overwhelmingly for Trump, tis a fact.
