Not all Republican women. I know two intimately who are supporting Hillary Clinton. One is my Stepmom, over 70, and someone who hasn't voted Democratic in her entire life. She's a tad upset with what she calls the "new and trashy" Republicans who have ruined the party in her eyes. Also, our neighbor, who is Republican, is supporting Hillary as well. I live in a very Republican area in Indiana, and the ladies, six of them, at the bank where I do my business all had me order them tshirts from the Internet.
Let me tell you something about women, at least the ones that I know. Even those whose husbands are overbearing and demanding know that he cannot control their vote when they step in that booth. It's one area that he cannot ever control, and he will never know how she placed that vote. People vote for all sorts of strange reasons, which isn't always good but it's realistic. I know a lot of women who will quietly bear their husbands and boyfriends complaining about and putting down Hillary Clinton, and then will turn around and vote for her simply out of spite and disgust at the audacity of men who think they can control the women in their lives.
A little story to back this up. I'm wearing a tshirt in the grocery store the other day that reads "Madame President - Get Used To It." As I pass a middle aged couple the man snorts as they pass me and mutters "yeah, right." I run into them again in the next aisle and the woman stops me with some fire in her eyes and asks me where I got my tshirt because she loves it while he stands there smoldering.

They're gonna vote against Hilary, not because their husbands "make them" (whatever that uber-feminist BS is supposed to mean)... they're going to vote against her because they feel that she's not the best choice to lead the country.
Which is true.
I'm not saying this cause I'm a closed minded, bigoted, right wing conservative... because I'm not... I'm a libertarian, and I feel that the two party system has failed. And for the past 12 years the Dem/Rep candidates have just been no good at all.

I doubt that hubby makes them do anything, I think women who have sense enough to vote against Hillary are very intelligent. Just because Hillary is suppose to be a female, does not make her do right things regarding other women. Do you really think a woman with the grudge she has against all Bill's women, want make her automatically against women, if you think not, you think wrong.

No. My family ain't voting for hillary because all she wants is the glory and to be put in the US History textbooks and the first american woman president. She also only wants to be president is because that she can and get a lot of power along with it, not to improve the world and make it a better place. If I were president, I would be the best ever existed but I can't stand politicians so im not going to be a politician because if I wanna be president i usually gotta be a politician.

Hillary Clinton will make the difference for the Republican women. They might vote for her this time due to women empowerment.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know who will likely win.

Nah, they're just smarter than Democrat women.
Smaller chests sure, but smarter really does make up for that.
