It looks like the "Kavanaugh will motivate the base" strategy might not work

1. Funny, The Whole Tax Giveaway To The Rich Didn't Work Either nt

2. Except: Overall support of Republicans is up

3. As I read it, it's down by about 3. But man, republican women are assholes.

5. Not support for Kav, overall support.

[Squinch]

6. Overall support for what? Are you seeing that in this graph?

8. Here.

Over the past couple weeks, the democratic advantage in the generic ballot has decreased about a point, from 8.5 to 7.5.

And Trump's approval has gone up sightly for the past couple weeks, from around 40 to 42.

9. Did y'all have anything to say about the subject of THIS thread?

4. Overall good to see

But what the hell is wrong with Republican women? They came away from last weeks circus with higher support?

7. They know that their sons

were raised to be the same entitled little shits, so they would never believe a woman.

10. Are Repbulican Women just Stepford Wives?

I don't get it at all. They support Trump, they supported Roy Moore, they support this guy. Do they actually believe they are second-class humans, subservient to men at all times and this is all okay?

I don't see many other choices for why.

11. Nope many are rich, mean as hell , and plenty racist . Also plenty of single women young and old

if it's voting with Jesus they may be digging in thier heels .
The men thing is an overplayed myth imo just like economic anxiety is imo
They are for the most part not mentally challenged in other actions and are well aware of what they are doing themselves. Assholes know no gender. Trump is thier leader

12. They support "traditional values," not necessarily 2nd class status

They want to stay home and bake cookies or take a low level job while their husband brings home the big bucks. They don't want responsibility except for taking care of children. They believe nice girls don't put themselves in bad situations where men might take advantage of them. If it happened to them, they blame themselves.

13. Unfortunately too many blame the victim or think they should stay silent

I live in a very republican area and you should see some of the comments about a local news story on assault victims from a local boys prep school that have now come forward years later. Most of the ugly comments were from conservative women.
