Riiiiiggghhhhttttt because all conservatives are misogynists, yet no liberal is…
Caricatures of either side serve not purpose other than preventing empathy, growth, and understanding.
And yes, actually, I saw a poll and YOUNG republicans are MUCH more accepting of gays than the OLDER ones. It is a generational issue that will change as social norms change. The problem is you can’t legislate what is in your heart and they know this. You can legislate what your tax dollars are spent on.
Nixon?
From the article:
"Mr Lewandowksi is absolutely innocent of this charge," the Trump statement said. "He is completely confident that he will be exonerated."
I’m a little surprised Drumpf backed off on this–usually the quote goes, “We are confident that XXX will be exonerated…”
Will humanity survive?
Maybe the next politician from the Paul family will get the GOP nomination? 
Keep hoping!
Eventually, in a few years, when all the olds have died. Honest!
Strategy. Or tactic (I always mix those two up 
).
The next one won’t be until Herr Commandant Drumpf, Commander for Life, shuffles off this mortal coil…
Please underline the caricature I postulated. Oh, wait, I didn’t do any such thing. That anyone would point to conservative thought
As for conservative thought standing up for 1) how well the USG is run, or 2) women’s rights, or the rights of anyone not white, hetero, and male…I’ll let you stun me with a list of forward-thinking conservative thought leaders holding those particular attitudes because I think it will be a short list. Not a short-fingered vulgarian list, mind you, but a list nonetheless.
Came here for Top Trumps, was disappointed.
Also, as all the polls show, they aren’t a majority-- Trump wins primaries with only 35% of the GOP vote, so it’s about 1/3rd of roughly 1/2 of the voting public-- he doesn’t even have a majority of the Republican party.
Even better than this article are all the articles now coming out where they dissect the foreign policy ideas Trump talked about with the NYT. Basically he has no knowledge of history or diplomacy and looks at everything as if it’s a short term business deal-- like NATO partners should pay the US for protection because “what’s in it for us?” (As if peace in Europe has no intrinsic value, despite what it means for trade and the global market.)
Well, it’s good to know that you see the hopes of transgender people on the opposite side of the political fence as you as a joke.
Dear Stephanie Cegielski:
Sincerely,
Those of us who are not so willfully gullible or easily manipulated.
LGBT people and BME (Black and Minority Ethnic) people do sometimes have shit political beliefs that are against their own interests. For example, Caitlyn Jenner’s support of Ted Cruz despite his ties to several extremely transphobic organisations.
I have a Jewish friend who researched her family history and found out that there was strong evidence that her grandparents were Nazi supporters until they finally left Germany in early 1939. They just turned a blind eye to atrocities until they started happening to their own family. Not all of them got out alive 
He can go quite a bit to the left while remaining on the far right. Tell me I’m wrong when he starts saying we need more worker’s co-ops.
She wasn’t a “top strategist” - she was a spokesperson for the Super PAC that he closed. - http://www.snopes.com/stephanie-cegielski-letter-trump/
Say what you want about him, but I’m confused by the shear volume of stuff I read about him that’s entirely made up; with the shear volume of crazy stuff he actually says - I don’t know why people feel the need to embellish or exaggerate the information about him.
That’s it right there. You certainly have a case with some examples not being supportive of women and minorities, but that certainly isn’t the whole of the party nor their platform. Especially with the original outburst being anti-women, I don’t think is accurate at all. (I can think of two official party platforms that prove your point, gay marriage, and abortion. Though the abortion stance isn’t anti-woman in their reasoning, it is pro-human life.)
Furthermore as I said before attitudes DO shift over time and like I pointed out the acceptance of gays in younger Republicans is rising.
Easy way to remember: Straturgos (from where we get strategy) is the Greek for a general. If it takes a lot of people to do it, it’s strategy; if a few, tactics.
Trump’s strategy is to benefit the Trump brand and so enrich himself Getting elected is incidental to that. A lot of people will need to vote for him to do that. His tactics are populism, nationalism, and targeting the less educated, all of which he can do on his own.
