Women hear sexism
and
bullying in Trump's
debate remarks

When Donald Trump
Pennsylvania voter
Patricia Bennett said
she heard a
“dog whistle”
that smacked of
unmistakable sexism.
“Why doesn’t he just
say that she needs more testosterone?”
said Bennett,
a 69-year-old
independent from the Philadelphia suburbs
who plans to vote
for Clinton in November.
Across the country,
Lisa Lowe, a
Colorado Democrat
who was lukewarm
about Clinton before Monday’s debate,
said
Trump behaved like a
“negative bully.”
Kris Stotler,
an undecided
Virginia Republican,
was disappointed by
Trump’s jarring criticism
of a former beauty queen’s weight,
“It’s incredibly
distasteful, and it doesn’t stop,”
Stotler, 48,
said of Trump.
“Even if you thought
that, why would you say that?”
Bennett, Lowe
and
Stotler
were among two dozen female voters
from battleground
states
who spoke with The
Associated Press on Tuesday.
Nearly all expressed
concerns with Trump’s critical
and often demeaning
comments about women,
as well as his
approach toward Clinton in the debate.
The concerns were
shared, too, by some women
who plan to vote for
Trump in November,
though his
supporters were more forgiving in their assessments.
“I think you’ll see
a different comeback from him in the next debate,”
said Carole Staats,
a 60-year-old
Republican from Lansdowne, Pennsylvania.
I hate to be the one
to burst your bubble
Carole Staats
however,
Donald Trump is
Donald Trump
and
will always be
Donald Trump,
what you see is what
you get!
His Campaign Manager
Kellyanne Conway
is and has been
working on him
But the money is on
Donald Trump
still being
Donald Trump.
