Trump backers tweet #repealthe19th after polls show he'd win if only men voted
Source: LA Times
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.
Thats 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 mens and womens 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.

Full circle people, take away reproductive rights and birth control so women are pregnant and pregnant often, water down domestic violence laws so men can beat or just intimidate their women, and then take away their right to vote. Back to total subservience. Those stupid women who support Trump and anything about this have no idea what they are wishing for.

They did poorly while they were in school, and now they can't find a job that requires a dummy to operate the equipment. Trump tells them who to blame, it just like with Trump, it is everybody but the person they see in the mirror.

(2,322 posts)...they probably wouldn't be allowed to run for office either? (i.e. There'd be no Hillary for Trump to have to beat...and if he has to cheat that much to win, how much of a clever, great and powerful winner is he?)
Too bad there's no amendment we can restore that takes away the vote from republican men. That would win the presidency for Hillary for sure

(21,816 posts)She was upset that she sees women on TV acting like they know anything and pretending to be experts. She says everyone knows women are not able to make choices, they are too emotional and don't know how to think.
Rush laughed, and then said he could comment on this, but he didn't want to on the air.

(1,134 posts)I made what I thought was an absurd mocking post to some woman Trump supporter on twitter about a week ago. I said something about the problem is that women are still allowed to vote and how that's going to ruin Trump's chances. Now something similar is a REAL thing? What the hell is wrong with these people? They are caricatures.

(8,736 posts)But I don't agree with Nate Silver's assessment that tRump would win if only men could vote. She is with the MOE for white male voters and if only men could vote her campaign would be structured with that in mind. I would still propose that she will win males voters nationally.
