In reply to Educated white women were already recoiling from Trump. Then came Kavanaugh.

Hopefully, white women see what Trump has been selling. They saw his muted response to the death of Heather Hyer. They saw the kidnapping of babies at the border. They now see his attack on survivors of sexual abuse. Let’s hope they do express their anger at the polls.

From the CNN article

Over the past several months, polls consistently have shown Democrats on track to amass much wider -- and even unprecedented -- margins with those women in 2018. The latest CNN and USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Times polls each showed Democrats capturing an astounding 67% of college-educated white women, while the Pew Research Center's most recent survey put their support at 63%. The latest Fox News and NBC/Wall Street Journal polls showed Democrats drawing just below three-fifths of these women.

By contrast, each of those surveys found Democrats still trailing, in most cases by double-digit margins, among white women without college degrees.

From the Atlantic on polling among white women.

Those numbers, while perhaps a momentary reaction to gruesome news, fit within a larger pattern that has emerged over the past year: Women are moving to the Democratic Party en masse. A USC Dornsife/Los Angeles Timespoll released on September 26 counted a 28-point advantage for the Democrats among all women. Among married, white, college-educated women, a group long tied to the GOP, the Republicans now lead by only five points.

In about a month, we will see which numbers are valid.

And tomorrow, after this

And tomorrow, after this disgusting, cruel display Kellyanne Conway and Sarah Huckabee Sanders will joyfully go to work for Trump. What is wrong with them??

Some will view this as Trump showing lack of control. But to me it is consistent w/his strategy: rather than outreach to a group cool 2 him, college white women, he’s all in on provoking backlash among voters most uneasy about changing gender roles & growing women’s assertiveness https://t.co/CNPAfHfCMB
