Trump really, really wants to run against a woman in 2020.

[DetlefK]

First he publicly fantasized about how he would debate HRC if she runs against him in 2020. (She has shown no interest in running again.)

Now he publicly fantasizes about how he would debate Elizabeth Warren in 2020. (Even though she said already a year ago that she will never run for POTUS: The campaign is too much stress.)



How come he doesn't fantasize about besting Bernie Sanders or Ted Lieu or Adam Schiff or Joe Biden in a debate?

Could it be... Could it be that his fantasies about running against a woman are really fantasies about dominating a woman?

1. Hillary easily won the debates.

IT is counting on that 40% of misogynists, that includes subservient christian women, to carry his water and bear children of like mind.

2. And, he is afraid of running against a man.

3. More red meat for his base.

Trump reminds me of Andy Kaufman wrestling women and then braying how he vanquished them and for them to return to the kitchen where they belonged.

4. Remember some poll indicating 63%? of Republicon women,

did not want to see any woman as President. [NC friend thought that number was understated, judging from his country club].

[EricJohnson]

13. Yes but that's what they say when their husbands are listening. What they

do at the ballot box may be quite different.

14. I don't believe that for even one minute

Sister Blisters - every last one of them.

5. Well, while I'm not supporting an Avanatti run, it would be delicious to see him debate/intimidate

Trump...

Trump would undoubtedly pull some Reichstag Fire to avoid that....

[bdamomma]

11. did Avenatti really say he was running??

does he have any political experience and does he know diplomacy and know how to talk with our allies???

We will not even recognize the US after tRump finishes with it, hell, we don't recognize it now.

[hlthe2b]

15. No, he said he'd "consider it" if no one competititve steps up & that was probably just provocative

As I said, I am not supporting a run.He's a master at getting attention--clearly Trump's equal on that score, but I think that is ALL it was.

No offense, but my post was only picturing Trump being confronted by Avenatti--whether in the courtroom or elsewhere. Not looking to start a big DU conflagration as happened after Oprah and a handful of other nonpoliticos were briefly mentioned for potential runs.

6. You may have something there.

Which is not to say that should affect whether the Dems nominate a woman to run against him, except that it would be awesome to see someone like Warren or Harris totally pants him. And we saw how he tried to intimidate Hillary by creeping up behind her at one of the debates - they would be ready for that.

7. Ah, to see Michelle Obama kick his ass.

9. Just having her run would motivate the voters.

And would in turn motivate good people to run for office.

So many people have given up hope.

8. He is a child-like creation...

Bullies need to think they win to keep the ego boosted. Bullies pick on people they believe are lesser than themselves in order to get those imaginary wins. He believes women are lesser than him, of course he thinks he can beat them handily.

Amazingly enough of the bullies I have dealt with in my life, that are trump-like, they all hated men. Then the power grabbing really begins. No different here, look at his picks for his administration, to strong willed...out...weak willed...ok.

[smirkymonkey]

10. There is no doubt that he is a bully, but he takes particular glee in beating up upon women.

Especially women of color. This is why I don't think we should run a female candidate in 2020. I would love to see a female president or a person of color, but his one talent is tearing down women and minorities.

He will have a much harder time doing that to a strong male candidate. I don't like it, but it is true. He has no respect for women or people of color and will stop at nothing to demonize them in the public eye.

[bdamomma]

12. oh yes he likes

punishing our gender too. Women are more for a democratic challenger than men are. Did anyone see that graph on MSNBC last night?

[Mc Mike]

16. Me too. I really, really want him to run against a woman in '20.

And I'm a guy.
