        Nice rant...but so high brow. Maybe scholars should try to be more empathic to T's voters and aid in a turnaround?

        Lots of women like Trump. Just because you are a woman doesn’t mean you have to follow a bitter leftist ideology.

        The one Trumper I know is male, but is it really fair to separate along gender lines? Can't we use something else? Besides I was always more of a Dr Zaius guy
