PURELY POLITICAL Women
If Donald Trump hopes to be re-elected (and it looks like he could be), he must woo more women back to his camp.
PURELY POLITICAL
By Jim Buckley
It’s the Women, Stupid
Donald Trump does not have a man problem. Guys – even if they won’t/don’t vote for him – like him.
Generally.
But women – I’m talking about left-leaning women – do have a problem with him. He can be rude, crude, arrogant, and completely self-centered. He can also be charming, lovable, outgoing, and accommodative. In other words, he’s a guy, and today’s left-wing version of a what a woman should be isn’t accustomed to a man being a man.
At least, not in front of them.
I advise any woman who does have a “problem” with Mr. Trump to go on YouTube and troll for candid interviews of him, say, thirty years ago. His answers are almost always thoughtful and intelligent when speaking on important or explosive issues. He can be, of course, a little raw when and if the discussion drifts towards sex. But, as mentioned, he’s a guy.
I’ve been to a Trump rally, and I can tell you without fear of contradiction that women of a particular political bent genuinely like Donald Trump. In fact, they love him. He’s usually surrounded by a bevy of female supporters – after having given a two-hour speech – clamoring for his autograph, a selfie with him, or just to see him offer a wink or a smile up close.
He's good.
Doesn’t mean he’s presidential timber (he is though, and has already proven that), but I believe an objective observer would surmise that he has more likeable humanity wrapped up in that over-sized body of his than most.
However, if Donald Trump can’t woo at least some of those women who have a “problem” with him, it’s going to be a long night in November.
Radical “Progressive” women are the vanguard of the Democrat Party.
Lucky for us, a real problem for the Democrat Party is that the Party has not only lost the support of working white Americans, but it is also bleeding black men, who have begun to lean towards Trump in a big way.
The entire legal jeremiad against Trump has backfired (so far). Many black men who’ve had run-ins with the legal system sympathize – empathize – with President Trump and his legal troubles.
Black women though, seem to be sticking to the party. That’s good news for Democrats, as black women are among the most reliable of all Democrat voting groups. Many of those women may even be able to convince their husbands and/or boyfriends to stick with the Democrats. At least that is what party elders are hoping.
Before long, even the women the Party counts on for so much could begin to side with Trump too. And, as far as Democrat Party elders are concerned, that can’t happen. Hence, the organized daily attacks by leftist women on the “Threat to Democracy” Donald Trump presents.
Young, Rich, Handsome, and Available
One of the many things to know and/or remember about Donald Trump is that he grew up wealthy.
Attractive women have their own problems growing up, but rich, handsome, available men are and always have been targets of unscrupulous women.
And why wouldn’t they be?
Especially those from an era when women really were second-class citizens.
But, hey, that was a long time ago and women have way more options today.
Back to our story…
Who oversaw, for example, The Donald’s prosecution in New York City? Why, Leticia James, the state’s Attorney General, who won her position by promising that she’d “get Donald Trump.” Ms. James managed to hit Trump up for a $463-million fine.
“Get him” she did.
In Georgia, it is Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis who’s out to “get” Mr. Trump. Never mind that she has taken six separate “vacations” with her out-of-wedlock boyfriend Nathan Wade, who charged the state $300 an hour for at least one 24-hour stint (a cool $7,200) for “lawyering” while sleeping… with the D.A.
In Florida, another woman, Judge Beryl Howell disallowed Trump's attorney-client privilege claims in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
In New York City, District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment against Mr. Trump revolves around Trump’s alleged affair with stripper “Stormy Daniels.”
I don’t have to remind you of Trump’s famous response when Presidential Debate host Megyn Kellytook him to task for having referred to some women as “animals,” Trump replied, “only RosieO’Donnell,” or Kathy Griffin’s severed head of a bloody President Trump just months after his inauguration. Madonna crooned that she dreamt of “blowing up the White House,” presumably with President Trump in it. E. Jean Carroll’s 30-year-old sort-of “memory” of a 30-year-old Bergdorf Goodmandressing-room encounter nabbed her a cool $83 million from a New York City jury.
Ladies in the Media
Then there are the media hounds: Joy Reid, whose racist statements against Trump are uttered daily; MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, who swooned orgasmically on air for three years running as she promoted the detestable Adam Schiff and his “proof” of Trump’s collusion with Russia. MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, a former Republican (RINO) strategist, and former special assistant to President George W. Bush who can’t get to Trump’s name without tightening her thin lips before spitting it out. Other nemeses include 81-year-old Joy Behar, who claims to be or has been a “comedian”; I don’t know what happened to the talented Whoopie Goldberg (she was great in “Sister Act” and a number of films) but she has become as miserly as all the rest. I’ll close the list with shrinking violet Mika Brzezinka (yes, she is the daughter of former Jimmy Carter National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezenski; she’s now married to her “Morning Joe” co-host, former Republican Congressman and rabid Trump scold Joe Scarborough), all of whom regularly and repeatedly attack Trump, regardless of anything that may be going on in the national news.
All the Democrat women in the House make a point of belittling Trump, such as the repulsive 85-year-old Maxine Waters (“You get in their face; you tell them they’re not wanted here”), and the youngish (she’s only74) Sheila Jackson Lee, who recently explained that though the moon is a gaseous planet, she’d like to live on it. (Don’t be surprised at the lack of intelligence among these women: “The View” co-host Sunny Hostinrecently posited that the total eclipse had likely been caused by Climate Change).
President Trump has a difficult task ahead of him, but if he can stay on message and continue to hone his charm offensive, he just may pull it off.
As it is, what with the entirety of the ruling elite backing the Democrat Party and actively opposing Trump and his supporters, how a Republican ever wins any election is a mystery as elusive as the gas on the moon.
The women I know who want Trump to be president get something the Behars and Whoopis seem not to: if Trump didn't have a narcissistic, overly alpha, crude and rude side, he would never have survived the last eight years. Sure, he annoys me, but I'm not going to marry him - I want Trump running this country because he will defend us to his last breath. Look, I've met male First Responders who are too Alpha, but who else is going to risk his life dangling from a helicopter or running through a blaze jot only to save men, women and children but their pets? Liberal women in this country are so stupidly upset by Alpha Males that they're sabotaging their own daughters' well-being. Mothers, what would you rather have for your daughters: a guy who's so sensitive he tries to reason with a thief stealing her purse - or a guy who flattens the jerk?
