Some Trump Supporters Demand #RepealThe19th

Some Trump supporters have taken to Twitter to demand a repeal of the 19th amendment — which in 1920 gave U.S. women the right to vote — after national polling indicated an extreme gender gap among presidential support.

On Tuesday FiveThirtyEight.com statistician Nate Silver published models of what the electoral map would look like if only men and then women voted. Based on a demographic breakdown of recent national polls, Silver found if only women voted Clinton would claim 458 electoral votes to Trump's 80 votes.

Conversely, if only men were able to vote Trump would claim 350 electoral votes versus Clinton's 188.

The hashtag, #RepealThe19th, began trending shortly after Silver's post, with both men and women lashing out at Hillary Clinton and attacking feminism.

There is no indication that Hillary's campaign has anything to do with these women coming out of the woodwork. And among the Hillary voters I know, reluctant folks included, no one thinks Bill innocent relative to his tawdry past. However, most recognize that his prior acts weigh differently on the race than Drumpf's do given that the latter is an actual candidate.

Not a trump voter, but really surprised at how many people are taking these girls suddenly coming out of the woodwork at face value while eye rolling at the Bill Clinton accusations.

Be real, Hilary is just getting down to trumps level in the pig shit wars

You dont get it though, Hillary shamed and silenced those women ! She pretends to be for women but really she hates them and just sees them as tools to satisfy Bills predatory habits so she can become president. Something, something she lies...

Does anyone think it is possible Trump is showing early signs of some sort of psychological degradation? Extremely mild dementia or something? I am expecting something of that nature to come out in the next couple years. It doesn't even feel like he's trying to be president anymore.

That's still orders of magnitude less problematic than the actual sexual assault acts.

I'm all for both of the Clintons being held responsible for their actions, but that 100% does not mean the two situations cancel each other out or that somehow Clinton needs to be held responsible first and without further concrete evidence (keeping in mind that there have been extensive investigations over this already, not that I think the victims would get a fair shake of such a thing, but there's still more digging that's happened there vs newly surfacing claims).

Here's a nice path forward for example...

* Drumpf drops out because of the monster that he is.

* Someone competent (i.e not the Drumpf campaign or Trumplites) does more digging and research into the Clinton pass and news media continues to cover and raise the volume of what Hillary has done in this respect and/or how she defends Bill's actions.

* If the right dirt comes out or the anti-public opinion is loud enough then Clinton gets dealt with.

Seriously, between how popular she is and how surprisingly popular Obama is at this point, she'd have a damn good chance if she ran as president.
