Donald plays his woman card: Ivanka’s misdirection can’t cover up a campaign built on misogyny.

This Salon article is from conservative political writer Carrie Sheffield. I'm posting it because she does a good job of calling Donald out on his misogyny and why she cannot vote for him. She at least 'gets it' - unfortunately she's not voting for Hillary either.

Maybe there’s more than misogyny at work — maybe his actions also reflected his disdain for journalists. Drumpf’s most recent attacks on the news media is reflective of his bigger problems with freedom of the press: He’s called for restricting free speech laws and he praises Vladimir Putin, a leader with no respect for a free press. This should concern all voters — especially conservatives who claim to believe in limited government.

As a conservative who is #NeverHillary, I’m often accused of aiding and abetting the Clinton cause by also being #NeverTrump. Admittedly, I am predisposed to want to vote for Drumpf. There were moments of the Hofstra debate that were music to my ears — namely, when Drumpf began speaking about cutting taxes. I want to believe that if he wins the White House he would surround himself by people like economist Stephen Moore, who understands the importance of free enterprise and innovation as forces for lifting people out of poverty.

Yet the music was incredibly short lived and quickly drowned out by juvenile, egotistical, small-minded tirades. So I cannot in good conscience vote for either candidate. By maintaining my #NeverTrump position, I am holding my ground against Drumpf’s shocking disrespect for women. I am also #NeverMisogyny — I do not want the White House to turn into a petri dish where we harvest a poisonous culture that disempowers and marginalizes women. We have been treated as second class in this country (and are still in many parts of the world) for centuries, and a Drumpf presidency would revive this despicable discrimination.

McCammond and others have also pointed out that after Hofstra, Drumpf willingly came into the spin room — typically the sign of a candidate on weaker footing — while Clinton did not. And as subsequent polls show, Drumpf is on the defensive. If he keeps up his “Miss Piggy” nonsense in the second debate, he’ll fall further into his pit of prejudice.
