    No real man believes that. Real men see him for the scumbag he is and know that he has no respect for anyone.

        I’m still (i can’t even find the word to express the emotion) from reading about the stuff for sale at his rallies that says “joe and the ho need to go.”

          You have to appreciate the irony given the fact that Donald Trump has made a habit of having sexual relationships with sex workers, so much so that he married Melania who was an escort.

          I’m not knocking sex workers. That is a perfectly valid way to make money in my opinion. I just think it’s a little bit of the pot calling the kettle black. Then again, that is par for the course with the MAGA crowd.

      I’m not really a fan of this poll

      The wording is kind of wonky, a lot/some/not much/not at all leaves a lot to be desired for me.

      “Some” is kind of ambiguous. I’d like to believe that most people would read it as it’s intended from the context, but I’m certain that some idiots probably interpreted it as something like “he has respect for some women” and not as “he has some respect for women in general”

      “Some” also just feels like it leaves too much open to interpretation as to “how much is some.” Personally, in a lot of other contexts I’d tend to read “some” as pretty much synonymous “not much” and while in this poll those responses are right next to each other, they are still supposed to be distinct from each other. This should probably have been a “‘On a scale of 1-4, how much do you think trump respects women?’ With 0 being ‘not at all’ and 4 being ‘a lot’” type question

      There’s also the matter of what is meant by “respect.” Does he respect them as equals? Does he respect their rights? Their opinions? Does he respect them because they’re able to bear children? Does he respect their physical beauty?

      It’s hard to get truly representative sample sizes of the voting population because it’s such a large and diverse group, and 875 respondents doesn’t really inspire a whole lot of confidence in me about this poll’s accuracy when there’s well over 100,000,000 registered voters, especially without any other demographic info about who responded.

      Just my 2¢ on the matter anyway

    Paywall, but This isn’t even a opinion piece. They’re pretending it’s actual journalism.

    NYT, you just can’t stop can you.

    Must. Somehow. Normalize. Trump.

      “We demand a horse race!”

      Someday in the future, when they’re writing about the downfall of the US, I hope they point out how unrestrained capitalism’s lust for perpetual growth sacrificed journalism for engagement and that so many Americans were deceived about what the truth was, because it was profitable to do so.
