(38,958 posts)just how many Republicans watch the mentioned show? I suspect that she is not scaring any of them.

(38,958 posts)How many of those watching are Republicans that you believe she is scaring so badly?

(14,811 posts)Sorry that wasn't clear. If you get a chance you should watch. The first segment was fairly long & about a Democrat from my hometown.

That's how enraged we are, though.

(2,067 posts)Something like 30% of we women who voted in 2016 voted for Trump.
Something like 40% of we women are anti-choice.
The narrative that genitalia or race some how defines and guarantees us the vote of a single voting block is part of the problem, in my honest opinion. It causes huge seats of voters to be ignored because, Hey, theyre women, theres NO WAY theyll vote for Drumpf!!

(14,811 posts)Maybe the majority of white women who voted did, but not the majority of white women.

We need Trump's approval rating to drop. That basic number is going to impact one close race after another. Today it reached 42.2% for the first time since June 26. Three weeks ago on September 14 it was 39.9%.
I hope Trump uses this Kavanaugh confirmation to make an ass of himself every day and night. Independent voters are causing that rise in approval rating. We need some trigger to knock it down again.

(10,173 posts)Hoover got nearly 40% of the vote while displaying astonishing tone-deafness to the plight of Americans during the great depression and even Nixon's rating never dipped below 25%. So much of this is driven by rank partisanship.
Like you I hope Trump makes an ass of himself and continues to drive women away from the GOP - well the semi-sane ones at least.
As for Rachel, she's drawing an analogy with Dickson's loss to Carol Moseley Braun due to the fallout from the Clarence Thomas decision. Watching the repeat now.

(37,648 posts)How we don't count. (This includes women of all races & ethnicities.)
But my anger wouldn't scare them, I think, since I was going to vote Democratic ticket, anyway. And we internet Dems are pretty reliable voters, I would think.
Thing is...I wonder if other women are feeling the same way. I don't know.
