'Warren launches broadside against Trump, saying he ‘aggressively disrespects’ women'

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), a top ally of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, launched a broadside against Republican nominee Donald Trump on Monday, saying his disrespect for women would be his undoing in the election.
Appearing at a rally with Clinton outside Manchester, N.H., Warren said Trump “disrespects, aggressively disrespects, more than half the human beings in this country.”
“He thinks because he has a mouth full of Tic-Tacs that he can force himself on any woman within groping distance,” she said, referring to a 2005 video in which Trump spoke in lewd terms about women and then took the breath mints as he explained he liked to kiss women without asking their permission.
Riffing on Trump’s reference to Clinton as “a nasty woman” during their third presidential debate, Warren suggested to him that women would be the ones to dash his White House hopes.
“Well, I’ve got news for you, Donald Trump: Women have had it with guys like you. And nasty women have really had it with guys like you,” she said. “Yeah, get this Donald: Nasty women are tough, nasty women are smart, and nasty women vote.”" WaPo

I see this stuff all the time but I have yet to be asked by any pollster about my opinion of Hillary. I very much suspect that they have this single group of people that they poll all the time. In which case it would be rather strange for them to ever get a different answer.

I suspect that the pollsters, like most men here, dislike women who refuse to stay home and look after the kiddies, most especially smart women. My late wife was a very smart woman and the men around here were really annoyed at her.

I've answered a few phone polls this cycle. They were not going after information for a poll but rather a veiled attempt at trying to sway my opinion on Republican Candidates. Questions tailored to get a predetermined result the poll is after. The last one the woman at the on the other end of the line's accent was so strong, mispronouncing issues and candidates, made me wounder if they were even in the USA.

The man who abandoned his own beliefs in supporting OIF. Just another rat abandoning ship.

Those are called "push polls" and are a big thing with Republican operatives.

Not a big surprise. He endorsed Obama twice.

Since they rolled him under the bus on WMDs, he doesn't like Republicans much.

I don't think he ever was full on board with it, perhaps overruled by peer pressure and bogus intel.
BTW, where is Cheney in this campaign, too "establishment" for the pitchfork mob?
