Because Women

Vote.

In 2012, 53% of voters were women. And as far as women voters go the republicans have well painted themselves into a corner.

Beyond the misogynist face of Trump, are the misogynist faces of the rest of the crew. And what they all said in that spectacle and what they're saying on the campaign trail, will truly fuck them come November 2016.

They're all Todd Aiken now.

A strong majority of Americans support, to some degree, abortion rights. A huge majority support abortion for victims ofl rape and incest and to protect the life of the woman.

In their endless quest to out extremist one another, those candidates made statements they won't be able to walk back. Walker said that abortion should be outlawed in all cases, including to save the life of the woman. Rubio said he was opposed to abortion even in cases of rape and incest. Huckabee said Roe is illegitimate. And Jindal said that he would use the IRS to go after Planned Parenthood.

I don't recall what the others said, and I don't think it matters. They're all screwed.

Didn't he say that if the woman's life was on danger there are "other ways" besides abortion to save both the lives?? (Of course her life dosen't really matter anyway to this crowd).
He didn't even finish his undergrad degree and now he's an MD? Who knew?
Our side MUST exploit this one to the fullest extent.

...Billionaires and suckers."

~50% of America doesn't vote. The angry white male + various minority leftovers used to give them the 25% total they needed + various hacks and gerrymandering. It's just not doing it anymore. Rmoney's numbers were embarrassing, and should have been.

They still have all the money and the microphone though.
