This does not seem to be a good year to run as a Republican woman.

Don’t get me wrong, I want the house to flip but I’m sorry that the Republican ladies are gonna bare the brunt of the wave. There are so few of them to begin with and they’re pretty sane as a whole. Unfortunately most of the nuts are drawn into their districts to make them not be able to lose and most of them are men. I’d rather lose the nuts than the moderate people, at least till the maps get redrawn in a few years.

I mean, there are many republican women in the suburbs and as the suburbs are trending, it's not going to a great period for them.

Most of them are actually as crazy/extreme as the men are.

Dotard, I felt the same way in 2014 when my party defeated many good, centrist democrats like Mark Begich and Mary Landrieu. In both cases they were replaced by better Senators (to me) but I do miss having Dems like Begich and Landrieu who counterbalance crazies like Sanders, Harris and Murphy

Sorry, but I vehemently disagree. Republican women are just as deplorable as their male counterparts; in fact, I'd argue that they are worse since they willingly abet a maniac who boasts about sexual assault and a party that does everything to erode women's rights and equality. To me, that's insanity.

Y’all do understand that the reason the House GOP caucus is so crazy is bc most of the people can’t lose a general, right? They only fear losing a primary so they rush to be crazy. Most of the freedom caucus probably won’t even exist in four years but until then they’re going to be a bigger part of the R caucus until the maps get redrawn. I’d rather have a caucus full of Will Hurds than of Mark Meadows. There’s only 23 Republican women in the House. They, by and large , represent more moderate districts bc they’re perceived as being more liberal in a primary and can only get through primaries in more moderate districts. Them losing is representative of the more moderate people losing and the crazy people becoming a bigger percentage of the caucus for the time being, that’s all I’m saying. I’m not saying the Republican women are angels and I’d love for every single last Republican to lose but that’s not going to happen.

Edit: Here’s some analysis by 538 that explains how Republican women represent more moderate districts bc they’re seen as more liberal by primary voters

Kristi Noem was on Face the Nation this morning to talk about this very topic and it was funny to watch her dance around trying to not say that he’s pissed off more democratic women into running. She was trying to say it was a recruitment thing on their end without saying that specifically

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-the-republican-party-isnt-electing-more-women/

1.The Republicans have also nominated 23 women in Democratic districts out of over 130 nominees.  Of course, this is an improvement on the percentage of Republican women in the U.S House vs the total number of Republicans.

In the Republican open districts, they've nominated 7 women (including Katie Arrington) in the 37 primaries held so far in these districts.

2.Your rationale doesn't explain why Republican voters are so crazy in the first place.

Republican women are often crazier than Republican men.

Also, Women for Trump is just disgusting. It's like a sheep supporting a wolf.

Pretty clear that he wasn't going for a "burn" and simply changing the post to reflect what he'd prefer using the strike through text, an incredibly common thing on Atlas.
