Now look at his support among women. Worse than Romney and McCain. He’s done before beginning.
If this were late October I would agree with you. But we have something called a “campaign” that will be waged before a winner is declared. Often times those pesky things called campaigns change peoples minds. Things happen during campaigns. Sometimes people get exposed, indicted who knows?
So making disparaging comments about women’s appearances constitutes misogyny?
People constantly make comments about Donald Trumps appearance - his orange coloured skin and his hairstyle. Are those also sexist comments?
The double standard exists in the media…and it is ignored with great vigor.
He might be a few of those things. But over all he is more of a jerk than anything else.
Also as for the drop to your knees comment he made on the Apprentice. Did you bother looking at the woman on the receiving end of those comments reaction? She didn’t take offence at ALL and said he’s always treated her with respect and thought he was just trying to be funny since he was on TV.
On top of that he’s been in the public eye for 40 YEARS. Finding tiny bits and pieces is all that you have after that long a duration really says something.
I mean Hitler hated jews and it takes no time at all to find his hatred of jews in his speeches, his autobiography and his policies. You are literally looking for scraps in a 40+ year history to find misogynistic comments.

Oh, you mean that process where the Democrats will run ad after ad, using Donald’s own words, featuring Trump reducing women to breasts and faces? His trophy-wife bragging? Oh wait, he’ll point out that Bill Clinton cheated on Hillary. Then the Democrats will roll footage of Trump attacking the women his buddy Bill messed around with. Oh, and point out that Donald himself is a serial philanderer, so maybe he shouldn’t worry so much about Bill and Hillary’s relationship. Yes, there will be a campaign.

Yeah, that’ll fly in the general.

Yes, when you’re suggesting their value relies on as much. Be it Carly or Cruz’ wife. His characterization of a woman reporter asking him questions…Must be having her period! Sorry, he has a record going WAAAY back. And it will be brought up over and over. He’s not reversing his unfavorable with women. Therefore, he’s not winning.
So let me ask the guys here… when you see women are you not automatically judging their appearance? Who here doesn’t make positive or negative comments about women’s appearances to themselves, with their friends etc?
I don’t see judging someone’s appearance to enter the realm of sexism. It’s insulting to the person (regardless of gender) but he’s insulting to everyone equally.
He’s not winning huh? Do you by any chance write for the National Review Online?
Sloth: The guy has under a year of experience in the political arena and has massively outflanked guys with DECADES of experience in politics. You really really believe the election is over and Hillary has secured a presidency? He’s barely started attacking her.
If you’re suggesting a conspiracy kook, torture and war crime proponent, misogynist with historical unfavorable (his unfavorable among women alone will doom him) is going to win…Do you write for the National Enquirer?

The narrow primary–where goons who don’t even know their own candidate’s on record positions on the 2nd amendment, on entitlements, his being fined for using illegal immigrants as workers, his financial and moral support of the Clintons–is ripe for being flooded by a movement that has no translation to the wider general election. Attack Hillary? Lol. She, and the media, will now begin to devour the ever living hell out of him and the GoP. The ad above? Repeated so much you’re (and every woman) going to know it by heart. He and the GoP will be made into the recklessly impulsive torture/war crime loving conspiracy-theory cess-pool they chose to embrace.
“Not just their appearance, but their motivations. Their value. They “disgust him.” Make him “sick.” This is a guy trying to win a General Election…”
How is this different of his treatment of specific men?
Have you ever read what women he’s formerly dated and employed have said about him?
As for the election I think it’s silly when we’re months away from November to say the general election is already over.
Sloth do you believe men and women should be held to equal standards or do you believe in different standards for the genders?
LOL…what you still don’t understand is that apparently the Trump supporters don’t care about negative ads. Trump had tens of millions of dollars of negative ads run against him in the primaries didn’t hurt him. As for those who are not his core supporters they are staring right into the face of Hillary Clinton as President. That alone is scary enough to hold their noses and vote for Trump.
Furthermore, I think it is safe to say that not many beyond Trumps core supporters are willing to admit that they are voting for Trump. Now do you think that might just skew the polls a bit in favor of Hillary? Trump will draw more democrats to the republican ticket since Ronald Reagan did it in the 80’s. And please spare me the chastisement for comparing him to Reagan because I am not. However, Trump will win states that neither Cruz or even my first choice Marco Rubio could not win. Negative ads or not…
One more point, being a philanderer, or as you put it a “serial philanderer” means practically nothing in today’s world. I don’t know why you don’t understand how far we’ve fallen, or the very peculiar times we live in.
What is the first thing people look for in a candidate for President? This > “What can he/she do for me?”
Hillary is looked at as a lying, conniving power hungry 90’s throw back and (here it is again) SHE WILL NOT BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. I threw it in caps because I want to make sure that everyone knows that I’m on record for her not winning and have not changed my view in about one year.
Don’t get me wrong there is only one person on the face of the earth that Trump could beat in a one on one race for the Presidency and…she happens to be Hillary Clinton.
LOL…you need to relax man. My son was a big Ted Cruz supporter and he was depressed last night. I told him the same thing I just told you. Relax…there isn’t a single thing you can do about it.
I will add this: .As Bill Clinton was fond of saying “I feel your pain”

The narrowness of the primaries is not the General.
Nope. You might have had that going for your argument with a different GoP nominee. Trump’s unfavorable are notably higher. And his record will keep it there.
Madame President. Get used to it, Zeb.
The General Public isn’t putting an undeniable Conspiracy nut-job, with horrendously poor impulse control, a penchant for torture and war crimes, as Commander and Chief.
