Why It’s Time For Women to Interrupt Donald Trump

But it doesn’t matter how much Hillary has accomplished, because an ill-qualified man can still stand next to her, interrupt her and question her abilities all while being seen as confident. It doesn’t matter how much she has accomplished because after the debate Trump can still bring up her husband’s indiscretions as though they were her own. Enough is Enough. We live in 2016, a time when the dream of a woman president is almost a reality. Our daughters can grow up in culture that does not accept this kind of behavior from a man. But it is up to us to stand up to Trump.

The debate rules were clear, do not interrupt your opponent, wait your turn. But Trump constantly interrupted Hilary Clinton. When Clinton or even the moderator, Lester Holt, tried to interrupt him, he reminded them, “I am talking.”


Trump is the embodiment of our sexist, macho, American culture. If his calling women slobs, miss piggy, miss housekeeping didn’t convince you that he is a misogynist, his debate performance certainly should.

Standing up to Trump at the ballot in November is standing up to every sleazy boss that has looked at us with lustful eyes. It is standing up to every colleague or classmate that has suggested we excelled because of our bodies and not our brain. It is standing up to the bully at the playground who pushed us and told us we ran like girls. We will certainly run like girls on November 8th, when we cast our vote at the polls and say enough is enough.

Polls are trending up for Clinton, generally down for Trump. This should continue as he melts down further.

Amazing how thin skinned this bully is, especially when challenged by women.

DT, like most bullies crash and burn when confronted. They show a lot of bravado and no substance.

Who knew they would never see a woman president after waiting a lifetime, and we all had missed our best chance up until then.

Here is that chance once again!

It's time, she.

Am happpy she is the DNC nominee, plan to vote for her in the GE, but more important now is to defeat this ever growing dangerous and unfit for any office Trump. He has derailed his train, he has lost his direction.

He's truly scum. His pathetic slut-shaming of Alicia this week is low-brow even by his own terrible standards.
