It took them until now to figure this out? There must be something wrong with them.

Are the real kool-aid drinking Trump cultists.

an authoritarian mentality coupled with a morbid fear of being wrong.

Just guessing, but I would bet these women still support massive tax cuts and the butchering of our government.....

of white women voters voted for trump.

Action speaks louder than words, ladies.

Show up at the polls and vote Democratic.

make a big dent in that 53%.

And, when health care costs start to skyrocket and more women's clinics close, woe be unto his orange butt........

one resigned in disgrace after his dirty tricks were exposed;

the next suffered from Alzheimer's, officiated over what was (until then) the most corrupt administration in US history, and ran an illegal war from the White House basement;

the one after that was a covert operative, who pardoned those involved in the illegal war to protect himself;

the next, his son, was installed in office after justices his father appointed stopped the vote count in Florida so that he could inherit the Oval Office despite losing the popular vote;

and now we have this guy!

GOP doesn't have a very good record for the last 50 years

The stumblebum who stumbled into office and immediately pardoned the bum who preceded him.

of the "worst" pile. His pardon of nixon allowed nixon's subterranean cronies to resurface 30 years later: cheney, rumsfeld, wolfowitz, etc. It also set a precedent for not prosecuting crimes against the Republic, which continued through bush I, bush II, and even Obama.

A tumor on a tumor. LOL

...as we have failed to punish them, they have become ever more emboldened.

not how to govern, just butcher away at programs and our institutions. They feel "entitlement" let's see how long that lasts.

They are the learn from experience and denial Americans who won't admit things aren't going well until they are on the street without social programs to support them because they voted those programs out. Then it will be too late.

TY

A better question is where have you been the last 18, or an even better question the last 2. What's happening now has always been the endgame. Anybody paying any attention could see it. Nice n all that they have decided to buy some smoke detectors today but the house is completely on fire and the embers are threatening the houses next to us. I wonder how much a privatized fire department will charge us to put this out.

I know several women involved in this organization. None voted for Trump.

They are, for lack of a better term, Eisenhower Republicans. They truly felt they could work from the inside to correct the insane trajectory. This is an admission of defeat for all their efforts over the last few decades.

The gop didnt need saving, the country did, from them. From the people they sided with right up to and past the jumping off point for sane people. This isnt about party but what is right and proper and right and proper hasn't been on the gop blueprint for longer than I have been alive. So talking this talk now is disingenuous at best and a move toa synical atteempt at cover butts at the worst. You say they don't vote for trump; that was the easy part but did they actively move against him and the GOP that permitted him to continue unabated? Did they vote for Hillary?

full well they were tilting at windmills. But you can't tell that to someone inside until it's too late.

I know several of these women did vote for Hillary and one abstained from voting at all. I don't know about the others. One Hillary voter in this group knocked doors for Clinton with me.

I don't think any of us can say for certain what was in someone else's head or heart. I just know it was a very frustrating and painful time for these women. I'm not asking for pity for them, I've argued with them vehemently over the years. But to assume they did nothing but wring their hands is wrong. These women in my local area fought hard to get moderate pro-choice Republicans through the primaries to keep tea party nut jobs out of the general election. They had some success there and a couple of failures. Their successes have made a difference in preventing a bat shit insane voting block on the county commission.

When your area is so red it's pretty much a foregone conclusion the election will go to a Republican, getting a moderate through the primary can make all the difference in the world.

It job one to dismantle the country and demonize me while they were doing it. You're going to excuse me if I'm of no mind to say good job on just figuring this all out because its clear that the GOP had their necks dotted for cutting the entire time you were arguing with them. Perhaps if they just walked away from republican ism it would have spurred others on to do so. You tell me I don't know what's in their hearts, well I don't need to know because the refusal to listen to you while they tilted at republican windmills is telling me I need to know, republican or nothing. A moderate republican is still a republican and last time I checked they more or less walk in complete lock step with the crazies that made the mess we are in.

Then around 1990 I wised up. I started voting Democratic.

Good work, ladies!

BTW, how many members does Republican Majority for Choice have left? 200? 300?

Fortunately the Dixiecrats are a thing of the past, except for maybe the stray throwback here and there.

Democrats For Racism would make about as much sense as Log Cabin Republicans.

Kinda like Latinos and Hispanics for Dotard Trump.

Yes, I understand the "where have you been the past 30 years" sentiment, but I would rather see these women openly state they are leaving the Republican party then have them continue to live a lie.

If the Democrats are going to be the "big tent" party, then we also have to welcome ex-Republicans.

I still maintain that if our republic is to be saved, it will be the women who will do it.

A career republican is running as a democrat for Al Franken's old seat. Is that big tent enough? Maybe we can encourage more disgruntled GOP members to run as dems & take our party even further to the right. Accepting the likes of Richard Painter, Steve Schmidt, Nicole Wallace*, etc., into the party just because they are anti-Trump seems like a mistake. Let them form their own new conservative party, instead of trying to hijack the only other major party with the infrastructure to win elections. People whined about Bernie Sanders running as a dem but are okay with Richard Painter. WTF? At least Bernie caucuses with the dems.

* Schmidt & Wallace have not announced their intent to join the Democratic Party or run as dems, but there is an open acceptance of them & other republicans, into the party simply because they are speaking out against Trump right now.

They'll just call themselves Independents and still vote for repubs.
But maybe they won't vote for the "p grabber" next time.

voted for Romney in 2012.

In 2016, college educated white women voted Democratic for the first time ever.

It's trending in the right direction - if Trump drops below 50% with white women in general, it won't be good for Republicans.

just a binary choice,,,, Trumpsters and anti-Trumpsters!!!!!!

nation after the 2010 election clusterfuck? That was 7 years ago. I guess it's better late than never, but come on.

Geeze, are they slow learners or were just so wed to their party they couldn't, wouldn't see the truth?

And frankly, I know that some would say "see, we are winning them to our side!" Sorry, but these folks willl gladly get on the GOP train once a Mike pence or Paul Ryan or Rubio comes along and says "See, we changed!"

They should have left when Newt took over.

He voted for Obama twice, and he's my watch buddy for Rachel at 9 pm. I don't rub it in his face - he mourns for the "fiscally conservative" party that he joined, but he sees the big picture now.
