GOP might have even fewer women in Congress next year thanks to Trump

Trump’s odious nature and personal brand of racism, sexism, and xenophobia has encouraged thousands of women to run for office around the country. However, Trump and Republicans have little reason to celebrate.

“The number of Republican women in the House is actually poised to decline,” says NBC News, noting that Democrats would be primarily responsible for the vast majority of women in Congress, including most of the 30 and 40 new women are on track to enter Congress next year.

Even with a decline in the number of Republican women in Congress, NBC News says more than 100 women could be in Congress in 2019, which would be a new record.

NBC notes that the number of women running is “clearly a backlash to President Donald Trump’s election.”

Yeah, no kidding. Earlier this year, Republican operatives were actively advising Republican women not to run in 2018 because of Trump.

1. The Democratic Party continues to look more and more like America all the time,

while the Republican party grows less and less like it, as well...

2. Why should women represent the GOP, they certainly don't represent women!

3. Stated So Well

I can't understand why ANY women or gays would want to have anything to do with the repub party. Just a great big cult with a bunch of brainwashed morons.
