I still maintain that supporting Trump's misogyny does serious harm to conservatism, and dismissing his vile speech and abuse of women as nothing is dangerous.
My guess is that it's not even remotely similar to anything you've ever said, @Mom MD .
I'm not 'supporting' the march (I haven't in anything I've said here), but what I am saying is that many, many conservative women are troubled by who Trump is. And based on the nasty things he said about and to women during the campaign, I would venture to say that he hasn't "matured" a bit.
But I guess all of you can "hope" he has "changed."
Have you done any reading at all on Trump? I have...no, not his ghostwritten autobios. What he's done and who he's hired.
I've made it plain, I'm less-than-impressed. With much of his life and what it is he really did. BUT. One thing that's NOTABLY missing, is racism and misogyny.
He's hired women for important positions. He put his daughter through college and grad school...and DIDN'T hire her.
Because he wanted her to learn, the hard way, in the real world. Not to have the skids greased, and not have her become a socialite like Paris Hilton.
Ivanka went to work for Forest City Enterprises in Cleveland. Which surprised me when I learned of it - I lived in Cleveland for many of those years, and Forest City was a prominent real-estate development firm. The top brass were frequently in society news; and they own the landmark Terminal Tower Building.
But, even with The Apprentice running, not a word about Trump's kid working in Cleveland. She kept a very, very low profile...maybe used an assumed name.
That was all GOOD. She LEARNED, and now she's part of the Trump operation and now, for better or worse, part of the White House team. I have serious differences with her, also - she's very, very liberal - but what was done shows nothing but a father trying to teach his grown child the real-world of business.
Then there are all the spokeswomen and all the advisers and counselors in there who are female. No...I'm sorry, but the Democrats are going to have to spring for new cue cards. Trump is nothing they accuse him of.
