‘I love Mr. Trump. I love him deeply.’

In March, days after Mitt Romney excoriated Donald Trump as a danger to the republic, his niece said she would support the Manhattan mogul if he became the nominee.
She’s not the only woman in her family aboard the Trump train.
Ronna Romney McDaniel, Michigan’s Republican Party chairwoman, said her mother (once married to Mitt’s brother), two aunts and other female relatives (all on her mother’s side) are also supporters, she says, because of his business background and focus on jobs and the economy. “In my family, it’s actually the women who are for Trump,” she said.
Over the years, Trump has publicly measured the worth of women by their physical appearance. Of GOP rival Carly Fiorina, he said: “Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?” He humiliated a former Miss Universe contestant, sending a film crew to watch her work out and called her “Miss Piggy.” He suggested tough questioning by Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly was a symptom of menstruation. After a March meeting with The Washington Post editorial board, he remarked to a female editor, “I really hope I answered your question,” then paused and said, “Beautiful.” He was also accused of rape by his first wife during divorce proceedings (she later recanted).
