Trump backers tweet #repealthe19th after polls show he'd win if only men voted

http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-trailguide-updates-trump-backers-tweet-repealthe19th-1476299001-htmlstory.html

As polls show that Donald Trump would overwhelmingly win if only men were allowed to vote, the GOP nominee's supporters have spawned a new Twitter hashtag: #repealthe19th.

That’s a reference to the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote.

The Twitter commentary began after Nate Silver of the FiveThirtyEight website published an article Tuesday looking at men’s and women’s voting patterns.

He found that if the election only counted the male vote, Trump would swamp Clinton, 350 electoral votes to 188. A candidate must win 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.

It’s not only men tweeting #repealthe19th. Here are some women who have also seized upon the poll results.


Women have suffered enough. Don't worry ladies, Trumpers would like to end your suffrage!

What would you do to female Trumpers who want to end their own suffrage?

Republicans love the constitution until it does not conform to what they want. The 14th is another example of an amendment they want to rework. But mention reworking the 2nd and they are suddenly strict constructionist again...

on second thought, they support him in the first place, so they obviously have no problems with extreme misogyny.
