"Women voting for Republicans is like roaches voting for RAID" [View all]

The conversation prompted a debate over political issues that are the most important to voters this election and comments made by former President Barack Obama at political rallies this week.

Sara Haines indicated that her most important issue, which she acknowledged is a privileged one financially, is the election deniers "because I think it stands at the heart of democracy."

Sunny Hostin said that what has been the most surprising to her is a poll she read on Wednesday saying that "white, Republican, suburban women are now going to vote Republican."

"Why?" asked Joy Behar.

"It's almost like roaches voting for RAID, right?" Hostin quipped to laughter and applause from the audience.
