Nicolle Wallace said on her MSNBC show Deadline: White House, ” I saw some polling today that even among women, Republican women, his approval number is 20 points lower than his approval rating among Republican men. He has 54% approval among men or Republican men, 34% approval among women. That plays right into this opportunity to steal women from the Independent and Republican categories in the midterms. That has to make people like Paul Ryan and Mitch Mcconnell very nervous to see that.”

The AP’s Jonathan Lemire added, “Of course, women, suburban women, that is not a hand the Republican party wants to be dealt going into this fall’s midterms. You would think Donald Trump, he had success to a degree in 2016 with that, with Republican women, that he would not want to loot any — he can’t afford to hemorrhage any of that support going into his reelection bid. That was the most dramatic moment.”

Trump’s overall approval rating with women is 32%. If his support among Republican women stays at the same level as his approval rating other women, Republicans aren’t just going to lose the House. They may also lose the Senate. Trump went to Montana and did the one thing that Republicans couldn’t afford to have him do. He attacked women. Trump went after Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), and the entire #MeToo movement. Trump desperately wants to run against Warren because it will allow him to use the same sleazy tactics that he deployed against Hillary Clinton.

Democrats have an opportunity to build a real bipartisan coalition led by women of all ideologies to get rid of Trump.

1. Recommended.

And, as seems likely, if Trump appoints a person to the SCOTUS who is opposed to Roe v Wade, this might persuade even more GOP and independent women to switch parties.

2. Mrs. Aristus is a former Republican who went from 'Never Trump' to 'Never The Republicans'.

She is a staunch Democrat now. And will be until, or if, the Republicans return to something like they were when Eisenhower was President.

3. Yes. Our female military candidates have been fabulous.

We need to be recruiting more women to run in these down ballot races. There are more Republican women like Nicolle Wallace. They will actually pull the lever for a Democrat, just like they did in Alabama. If we peel them away, combined with our base and non-racist Independents, we will have a winning coalition.

4. I'm not sure this is a demographic we can count on

I would suspect a large percentage of this group is married and that they will in the end vote R because Fox News will scare them into it or to maintain domestic tranquility.
