Ed Rendell Stros In It

Quote:

“Will he have some appeal to working-class Dems in Levittown or Bristol? Sure,” said Ed Rendell, the former Pennsylvania governor and Philadelphia mayor, who won landslides in the suburbs. “For every one he’ll lose one and a half, two Republican women. Trump’s comments like, ‘You can’t be a 10 if you’re flat-chested,’ that’ll come back to haunt him. There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally.”

Meh, I think that severely overestimates the typical conservative woman's tolerance for chauvinism. I mean, they've been living with their busch light drinking hubbies for years, and gol darnit they love them precious disgusting old bastards. Also, they aren't quite as sensitive.

There're tons of women who appreciate that kind of "honesty" because it's what they're accustomed to.

I would guess that there're a lot more people who find his comments distasteful for reasons other than that they took it personally.

That, and there're almost no women in the world who think they're less than a 5.

Why is it always the ugliest guys who feel the need to mock how women look?

He could be somewhat right but there are other effects to consider alongside. Traditionally, women have shown a bias against voting for other women.

As to Trumps comments frankly I am surprised there isn't much worse out there. So surprised that I almost think they are saving some for later.

Women will always bend to the will of a dominate Alpha male (see Megyn Kelly) and they don't get any more Alpha than Trump.

Don't be surprised if Trump wins Pennsylvania.

While I'm in the Philadelphia area, I work in the Lehigh Valley. I'm seeing a lot more talk and support for Trump than I did for any of the GOP candidates in previous elections.

Pennsylvania is in no way a lock for staying blue.

It was kinda funny I thought, but probably not very helpful. Rendell seems like he's pretty old school pol there, and that's no crime.

First, I said nothing whatsoever about how fat American men are. For the record, they are also very fat.

Second, you link to a table of BMI. BMI is a measure of being overweight, which is not a synonym for fat. A muscled person can be overweight without being fat as most of us understand it. From a medical perspective being overweight from muscle is apparently bad the same way as being overweight from flab is.

Finally, I wasn't mocking women, just Americans. What a flabby bunch.
