GOP women warn of eroding support among female voters amid a 'gender chasm'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A growing number of Republican women are sounding the alarm about continuing loss of support for President Trump and the GOP among female voters ahead of the November election, warning that the party is in danger of permanently alienating women if it doesn’t change course.

Trump’s flailing response to the coronavirus pandemic and his move to inflame nationwide racial tensions are exacerbating an already precarious situation, according to interviews with female Republican lawmakers and GOP pollsters focused on female voters.

Women now favor presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden by an eye-popping 23 percentage points, according to an average of national polls since late June. And White women, a majority of whom backed Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016, are starting to abandon the president.

“There was a gender gap when it came to Hillary Clinton, but now there is a gender chasm,” said GOP strategist Sarah Longwell, who has been conducting regular focus groups with female Trump voters who no longer approve of the president. “Trump has created an environment where women are not particularly interested in the Republican Party … where the Republican Party doesn’t seem like a place for women.”

2. Once again, the media gets the white women vote wrong.

As reported by Time.com, a post election study by Pew Research, using better data and methods than the exit polls, 47% of white women, NOT the majority, voted for Trump, a number that is similar to the %s who voted for previous Republican candidates.

The number is too high but it is FAR below the % of white MEN who supported him (62% per the Pew study).

These are %s of voters. As we all know, too many people didn’t vote at all.

They are so tone deaf on this issue. They will never get it. The GOP, at heart, are truly dyed-in-the-wool misogyists. Always have been, always will be. The thing that baffles me is why so many women go along with it. I guess there is a certain amount of internalized self-hatred involved. Also, they are just incredibly stupid.
