Don't count on women voters going to the polls inspired by #MeToo, if they're white.

https://poll.qu.edu/national/release-detail?ReleaseID=2574

According to a Quinnipiac poll, 46 percent of white women voters believe Dr. Ford, while 43 percent believe Kavanaugh, which in this poll is a statistically insignificant difference. With 53 percent of the white woman vote going to Trump, it seems about right.

83 percent of black voters believe Dr. Ford, while 40 percent of white voters do.

Of couse we can discount the diehard maga white women but I'm predicting the motivation fpr women of all stripes will show up & vote against this Republican bull crap.
I believe Trump admin has pissed off many who would have stayed home on election day.

Just my opinion.

WHAT about her testimony didn't you believe? did you even WATCH it?

knowing my republican women relatives, they didn't watch, and have no idea what she said, but they still think she's lying.

or worse, "confused".

Trump appeals to men who believe that they have been victimized by women. In particular, men from cultures which teach that boys should never cry--they should get angry instead. Since no boy wants to be told that his tears are bad but his sister's are good, he becomes resentful, insecure, angry--at women. Women "owe" him for his show of strength, for always keeping his sorrow bottle up, for being a Man.
