Donald Trump is praising Phyllis Schlafly, the conservative activist who died Monday at 92, as “a patriot, a champion for women and a symbol of strength.”

Trump says Schlafly was “a conservative icon who led millions to action, reshaped the conservative movement and fearlessly battled globalism and the ‘kingmakers’ on behalf of America’s workers and families.”

Schlafly helped defeat the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s and founded the right-wing Eagle Forum.

Trump says in a statement released Monday night, “She fought every day right to the end for America First.”

"It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, or cervical cancer, or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind or brain-damaged baby (even ten years later when she may be happily married)."
-- Phyllis Schlafly

"By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don't think you can call it rape."
-- Phyllis Schlafly

During a deposition in the '90s, Ivana described a harrowing scene in which Trump held her arms back, pulled at her hair, and raped her in a fit of rage. She herself used the word “rape."

1. Trump should suspend his campaign for two months, in her honor.

Screw the both of them, actually.

[Grassy Knoll]

2. Trump Had No Clue Who She Was Until Today...

...You just know.

[SharonClark]

7. Agree 100%

What he said about her demostrates that.

3. How does this casino mogul

whose business has fed off families and gamblers from families, who is
twice divorced, how does this guy think he fits with Phyllis Schlafly's
conservatism?

Seriously, this is complete oxymoron situation. The playboy life does
not fit with movement conservatives.

4. Watch, he'll probably be invited to give her eulogy.

Pass the popcorn.

5. Wrong Headline. The Right One Is:

Trump praises ‘RACIST’ Phyllis Schlafly....

Now, corrected -- and quantifies the overarching point that Donald Trump enjoys praising Racists.

9. Racist AND woman hater

birds of a feather... no matter what costume they wear.

6. Gotta admit, the timing is amazing.

She dies today. Her last, awful book comes out tomorrow. Of course, Cheeto Jesus praises her. She wrote a hardback screed for him!

8. The GOP is actually the GOR. 'Good Old Rape'

No problem. Marriage is just asking for it, it seems.

10. Trump is such a Bottom Feeder

So much, in fact, that his Secret Service nickname is probably Bristleworm.

Maybe he'll propose an American holiday in honor of Generalissimo Franco next?

16. It's "Mogul"

According to: http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/27/politics/donald-trump-mike-pence-secret-service-codenames/

The Donald is "Mogul"
His current wife is "Muse"
Mike Pence's name is "Hoosier"
Karen Pence is "Hummingbird"

On our side...
Hillary Clinton is "Evergreen"
Bill Clinton is "Eagle"

According to: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/28/here-are-the-2016-candidates-secret-service-code-names-and-your-own/
Tim Kaine is "Daredevil"

No one knows what Mrs. Kaine's Delta Tau Chi name is, but I'm pretty sure it's not Flounder.

Yeah, Donald, she was a real populist is you are into spreading fear as your definition of populism.

Should women be able to own property in their own name?
