[QUOTE="SueEllenRules!, post: 20440, member: 87"] You don't think progressives and moderates are capable of being intimidated by a highly successful woman? I suppose none of it has to do with her success or gender either. I didn't say that he necessarily was, but he certainly might be. It's also possible that a lot of Trump's appeal over Hillary is motivated by sexism. Which is possibly even more disturbing. Fortunately, I think the women who still plan to vote for Trump regardless of his attitude toward them are largely limited to the brain broke and batsh!t crazy: [MEDIA=youtube]LFSyQEWAVl0[/MEDIA] You may actually have a good point here, but then again, maybe not. After doing some research, I discovered that men are doing in this election what they typically do in most elections: voting Republican in numbers consistent with previous elections. It's women who will win this election for Clinton because a historically overwhelming share of them support her due to Trump's misogynistic rhetoric, the sexual assault allegations against him, etc. I do find it interesting, however, that men aren't similarly offended by Trump's sexism. If they were, you would think that his support among men would have declined in a similar fashion as it did among women. Instead, it remained rock steady.
