In reply to the discussion: Not all white women voted for trump. [View all]Ms. Toad
(34,057 posts)136. My political distaste for Clinton
has nothing to do with her personal life.
In the last two primaries she was near the bottom of my list of candidates based on her political views or, more precisely, that her political views were malleable based on the whim of what she needed to say or do to get elected. There are jobs in which she does not depend on voters to maintain. I think she would be brilliant in some of those (e.g. as a Supreme Court Justice).

I don't see anything changing. Nunes demonstrated his contempt for our constitution before 2018

So, you are willing to write off the 50% (or more) of white women who DID NOT/DO NOT support him?

I can't argue against the fact that so many do support the criminal in the White House.

Agreed. It's easier to stereotype and lump people together into groups, though.
