Once again, why didn't this come out sooner? It's not like Bill Cosby where after the 20th woman people are still all like "hm, I just don't think he would do that..." I could probably tell people Trump groped me and they would believe me. So where were these accusations before...?
Also, daily reminder that Bill Clinton is a literal rapist.
Women are ruining Trump. On top of the comments he's also just physically repulsive and I think most women want to see a lady in the white house.
There's not a whole lot going for him. The maternity leave thing was a good idea, he needs to come up with like 10 more of those ideas soon.
TRIGGER WARNING: 538
Partially it has to do with Trump's vulgar comments. Another part has to do with the kinds of things and policy decisions the Republican Party at large have said about women.
Here's a small sample:
"Obviously rape is awful, what is beautiful is the child that could come from this." - Brian Kurcaba (R)
"I think that even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," - Richard Mourdock (R)
“If a woman has (the right to an abortion), why shouldn’t a man be free to use his superior strength to force himself on a woman? At least the rapist’s pursuit of sexual freedom doesn’t (in most cases) result in anyone’s death.” - Rep. Lawrence Lockman (R)
“Granted, the percentage of pregnancies due to rape is small because it’s an act of violence, because the body is traumatized." Celeste Greig -President of the 'Conscience Of the Republican Party'
"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down," Todd Akin - Republican
"The facts show that people who are raped - who are truly raped - the juices don't flow, the body functions don't work and they don't get pregnant. Medical authorities agree that this is a rarity, if ever." Henry Aldridge - Republican
"I believe and I think that the right approach is to accept this horribly created, in the sense of rape, but nevertheless, in a very broken way, a gift of human life, and accept what God is giving to you." Rick Santorum - Republican
"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Richard Mourdock - Republican
"I'm pro life without exception. Understand though, that when we talk about exceptions, we talk about rape, incest, health of a woman, life of a woman. Life of the woman is not an exception." Joe Walsh - Republican
"But on the rape thing, it's like, how does putting more violence onto a woman's body and taking the life of an innocent child that's a consequence of this crime, how does that make it better?" John Koster - Republican
“Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.” Foster Friess - Republican
