Maybe he can win without women [View all]

It's not surprising to me that so many women would be appalled by Donald Trump. As I've said before, it's as if the Republicans had chosen David Duke to run against Barack Obama in 2008.

But it's also awfully depressing that so many men in this country really don't give a damn about this. Trump can spew sexist stuff all day long and it doesn't make them think any less of him.

Sad!
