Hunting through separate threads to find one that is on topic is “old fashioned”. I like having them more organized. Hopefully it will get back to being convenient because we will probably be wanting to pundit until November! 👍
 
Hillary Clinton’s one appeal to (some) women is her total dedication to abortion on demand. Even in her response to Trump, she used the euphemism “womens’ health”. We all know what that really means. She knows who her most dedicated supporters are. But it’s quite possible the majority of American women are not as devoted to abortion on demand as she is.

Otherwise?

I doubt most women would like her record of corruption if they knew about it, and they probably will by election time.

Her savagery toward other women, and her failing to pay equal pay to women in her employ will be increasingly exposed as the election progresses.

A fair number of women will not welcome the idea of changing their religion for Hillary.

What is the reason women would want to support a person who started a war and turned more than one country over to terrorists?

And there are probably quite a number of women who would prefer to have a decent job than to have free abortion coverage but no job.

This could all turn out very differently from what people expect right now. We’ll see.
:clapping:

I thought Trump was very shrewd when he separated abortion from the other PP services. In the past other candidates attack PP as a whole, and Dems used the other services as a shield - they claimed the GOP hated women because they didn’t support std testing and health exams for women. Trump’s approach neuters much of the ‘war on women’ angst argument.

This is one of many examples why I think Trump will beat Hillary head to head.

How many other PP services are there? I thought most of the services provided to women by PP were related to abortion. I don’t think Trump was shrewd, just unknowledgeable and uncaring about the issue of abortion and the services of PP. If the topic of abortion never came up during the primaries and general election, it would suit Trump just fine.
 
BTW, RealClearPolitics has Trump at 29.4% favorable, 64.5% unfavorable. (So that’s better than the 70% unfavorable that I’ve also heard. :))

Yes, from a revenue perspective it’s mostly about abortion but the Dems succeeded in reversing the perception, so if you hate PP then you hate women in general. You may not like it but his approach still mitigates that line of attack. He can get away with defunding PP so long as they do abortions. It forces PP to chose between Abortions and all these other services they insist is 97% of what they do. PP is thus choosing to defund themselves by focusing on abortions.

This is fundamentally a failure of the GOP. In all the other defund PP efforts, they should have put the spotlight on how the funding is redirected to other qualified providers (instead of PP) to to deliver the same non-abortion services.

The GOP sucks at PR, they are repeatedly PWND by the dems. What should be a neutral or a win turns into a GOP PR loss. A ‘war on abortion’ is turned into a ‘war on women’.
 
Both Trump and Clinton have unusually high unfavorable ratings and yet both are their respective party’s favored candidate. This should be a very interesting general election.
There will be a lot of people holding their nose and voting in this election. In addition, I am sure a number will stay home as well. You are certainly right that it will be interesting.

I hear you, but factually speaking the only ones not showing up have been the democrats, could just be till the general election also.

I do think that one of things that has helped turnout on the republican side is the level of both pro and anti trump sentiment. Now, the question is, will Cruz supporters turnout to vote for Trump? That is an open question.

I’ve never felt so hesitant about voting for the Democratic candidate since I voted for Jimmy Carter in his first term, and that was before he proved his incompetence. But in the present election, who else can I vote for: Trump or Cruz?
 
I find it hard to believe the Bernie supporters will be jumping over to Hillary. Especially since he is now promising to go all the way to Calif. For the Democrats he is making this in particular very painful. Maybe he’ll even go on Hillary attack mode next!! :eek:

Bernie wants to read the minutes from the Clinton paid WS speechs. Stephanopoulos pushed Clinton also, we all want to read the transcripts. 👍

If Cruz gets the Nom then I will absolutely vote for him. Ideally I prefer that the GOP nominate someone more moderate, at least a little bit, but I just accept that the right wing will gets their “turn”, so to speak, once every few election cycles. 🙂

Well, Cruz did make the astonishing promise that, if elected, he would lower taxes! However, Trump promised to destroy ISIS. So the electorate is faced with a real dilemma.

Time for my medication…

I’m convinced Bernie is waiting for the FBI caucus. He is betting on the FBI recommending charges or somehow crippling Hillary.

If he withdraws early then his momentum immediately starts to dissipate. It will be much harder build up steam and recover momentum after withdrawing.
 
How realistic is Cruz after last night or Kasich? Cruz came in last in every single state last night, his favorability continues to spiral down and down since January and to all time new records last night. Course they have no love for him in NE anyway after his NY comments came to fruition. He bought that on himself. I think he’s dead in the water and grasping at straws today.

He and I share that in common!! Go Bernie!! 👍 😃 I’m waiting too!

Plus Trump has promised to make the Mexicans build that wall which would cost them billions, repeal Obamacare while still being able to “broaden healthcare access, make healthcare more affordable and improve the quality of the care available to all Americans.”

Even accomplishing his healthcare promises would be quite a feat. :rolleyes:

I should add to my last post, I’m not writing off the possibility of a Kasich (or even Rubio) nomination. But one way or another, I hope that mod Repubs and right wingers can put aside our differences enough to prevent a Clinton-Trump November. And I’m not just saying that because of Trump’s unfavorability rating; I think nominating him is an intrinsically bad idea.

to prevent a Clinton-Trump November.
Appears to be unrealistic at the moment and far fetched fantasy imho.
Trump’s unfavorability rating;
You have a source since all I am reading has Trump ahead of Cruz? In fact I just posted two links in regards, What do you have I missed it?
I think nominating him is an intrinsically bad idea.
Unsubstantiated opinion or there is something specifically?
