One of Donald Trump's earliest endorsers admitted this morning that, although he is pleased with the unlikely rise of the billionaire real estate tycoon to the presumptive Republican nomination, the candidate "has some work to do" in communicating with female voters in a way that doesn't send them fleeing to support Hillary Clinton.

"He has some work to do there," Tom Marino, a Republican congressman from Pennsylvania, told NPR this morning. "He's certainly going to have to pivot to women - women are critical in the election. Those who vote are 51% females, and he has some work to do there."
Marino, the fifth sitting member of Congress to publicly endorse Trump's presidential campaign, told Politico at the time of his endorsement that Trump is "the man for the unprotected ... not the protected, not for the Wall Street people, not for the DC insiders, but for the hard-working taxpayers."
But Marino was a little more honest this morning about Trump's massive negatives among the largest single demographic in the US, telling NPR that "wounds have to heal" after a bitter Republican primary in which Trump mocked a female opponent's face, called for women who obtain abortions to be punished and dismissed a Fox News anchor's aggressive questioning during a debate as being the result of menses.
"You make it known that women are gonna play a major part in his cabinet," Marino said, of how Trump might heal those wounds. "He's gonna address the family needs, because no matter what party we;'re talking about, women, in particular mothers, are worried about their family, how their children are gonna be protected."
Despite his previous rhetoric, Marino said, Trump sincerely wishes to unite the Republican party. "Americans... they're sick and tired of being sick and tired of the way Washington's run. It needs to be bulldozed and start over."

Good, I hope they are.

There needs to Bev revolution the states, new parties right and left need to be formed and the ways of new need to tothec ways of the past.

The left cannot lose, no matter what way you cut it they are going to stay in the white house, I half expect an independent to run and further wreck the GOP.

As I said before,  hope Bernie wins because the people want change and they may as well get it in the form of a Tony Benn like figure in Sanders.

Yeah, that will work. Treasury bonds will still be seen as extremely safe, reliable investments. The world economy won't suffer at all due to the dollar.

He is a frigging Democrat, follow the donations!

Not much point in explaining again about buying influence, is there?

Suffice to say, in that case, that if he is a Democrat, and not an megalomaniacal conspiracy theorist, then the conservative movement in the US is made up of some of the dumbest, most ignorant, most ill-educated, naive morons ever to walk the earth.

Well that might be one way to look at it, another might be that the majority of their support is just very poorly educated

That is precisely what's happening. These are the same clueless clowns who voted for the catastrophic presidency of George W Bush. Twice. And all because they thought they'd like to have a beer with the stupid p***k.

In the increasingly likely event of a Trump v Clinton election is there any benefit in, or even a will for, a real push towards  voting for the main alternatives, Green or Libertarian , to get them up over the 5% so they will qualify for federal funding and provide a real alternative in 8-12 years?
