So I was watching the end of Morning Joe

And they had this person on named Michelle Caruso-Cabrera from CNBC. She seemed to think that Trump did well enough in the debate that he "won", but not with the "pundit class" and "DC elites" blah blah...

so I then googled her (since I have never heard of her before) and found out that, yes indeed, she is a dyed in the wool conservative.

But then I clicked on the second article about her from businessinsider.com

http://www.businessinsider.com/alec-baldwin-once-asked-out-michelle-caruso-cabrera-but-then-rejected-her-for-being-too-right-wing-2010-1

and clicked on the comments section.

Holy crap... I am embarrassed to be a male. Is this how we are raising our young men now? Didn't seem to matter what part of the political spectrum someone was coming from (and I feel certain that almost all of the comments were from men)... but how they talked about dating and women... just holy crap!

If I had a son that ever talked that way I would kick his ass to Mars and back. I just couldn't believe it.

Now I know how it is that Trump has the percentage of voters that he has. I feel sick.

We talk a lot about race hatred, but at times it seems to pale in comparison to a toxic, increasingly virulent hatred of women and girls..

"@yep: couldn't agree more... my eyes light up when i find out i'm dating a liberal... this way i dump one in bare back and have the peace of mind that she'll abort the sucker

of course i should be more careful as their moral casual attitudes do heighten the chance that they might be dripping with aids"

possibly one of the nastiest comments I have ever had the displeasure to read.

Reminds me of when I was a teenager in the 1970s and CB radio was big... I listened to someone say something similar about a woman who had the "audacity" to actually be on the CB and have an opinion... and one of the men started talking about wanting to rape her anally... last time I ever listened to the CB radio.

Still it is shocking to me that we have men who say these thing. Just awful. Do they never think about how it would be if they heard someone saying stuff like this to their mothers, sisters, or daughters?

and the studied nonchalance with which he describes his supposed "conquests" tells me they're ikely more imagined than real;
In addition, his comments on the "morals" of these women contradicts that cool "player" pose he's pushes and tells me he's more of a pursed lipped right winger than the casual stud' he'd have you imagine.
