Trump Supporters Tweet #RepealThe19th After Poll Shows He’d Win If Only Men Voted

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-supporters-tweet-repealthe19th-after-poll-shows-hed-win-if-only-men-voted_us_57fea03ce4b05eff55814a75?section=&

According to FiveThirtyEight if only women voted in the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton would win the presidency with 458 electoral votes and Trump a mere 80.

If only men voted in the presidential election, Trump would win the election with 350 electoral votes and Clinton only 188.

Shortly after FiveThirtyEight’s editor-in-chief Nate Silver tweeted the two polls, Trump supporters began responding to the news with the hashtag #RepealThe19th. The 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, was ratified less than 100 years ago.

The hashtag was trending on Twitter Wednesday afternoon and received hundreds of tweets. Scroll below to read some of the truly abhorrent and scary tweets from Trump supporters asking to take away a woman’s right to vote.

...



Donald himself has not said this, and I'm not accusing him of anything like this, and it's not a majority of supporters, either. Just amazed by the fact that ANYONE would think this... Chat Icon Chat Icon

There are even women who are supporting this concept..

Trump Supporters Tweet #RepealThe19th After Poll Shows He’d Win If Only Men Voted

This is why social media is totally out of control. Every stupid little thing gets all over in the internet in seconds. A couple of hundred tweets is not even worth my time. It just confirms that there are idiots in this world and people that just follow blindly without knowing what they are really doing and has nothing to do with politics just sensationalism. If the media picks this up and runs with it, they have hit a new time low.

I agree that minutia like this is annoying, but I don't have disdain for the media. The media is a huge machine, and I appreciate the things it has brought into my line of sight that I might have never known about. I pick and choose what I take from media/social media and ignore what I don't. The very essence of the media is to pick up on what people are seeing/saying/experiencing/thinking so they are always going to sniff out even the tiniest "stories."

I don't care if it's a small minority or just a few hundred tweets. I am outraged that this is something people think is a good idea...people that vote...and can own guns!
I posted about it on FB last night. Over my dead body!

This is yet another opportunity he will squander.

It's probably - and hopefully - too late, but he might persuade some women back to him if he came out with a strongly worded repudiation of these tweets.

But it will never happen.

It might only be a few hundred tweets but it does demonstrate that there are people out there who are still so ridiculously backwards and ignorant and that is even more frightening than Trump himself.

But hey, taking away a woman's right to vote fits right in line with his silliness of "Making America Great AGAIN"...............you know that wonderful time in our history where women had no rights, there was segregation, you weren't free to marry who you loved, and basically white men ruled the world. Gosh, America really was so "great", Trump and his supporters are just so forward thinking. Chat Icon

I don't think his female supporters truly care too much, but I do think this scandal will make a whole slew of undecided/non-voters hit the polls in favor of HRC.

Who ARE these pathetic women who are going along with this ignorant sexist nonsense? "I'd gladly give up my right to vote", "men should've never given women the right to vote"... with Trump as a presidential candidate every morning we wake up to a new low, just imagine if he were president.

I would love to know how these women could have such little respect for themselves that they would say they would support this!! Its sad. This bothers me more than a men saying women should not vote.

19th Ammendment was passed 96 years ago. That means there are still a lot of people alive today, who's mothers couldn't legally vote!

ITA - I meant that if Trump came out strongly against these tweets it could possibly help him.

Not that I want that to happen.

I am curious about the ages of these people tweeting this stuff.

Can you just imagine their outrage? Blacks and women used to be the property of white men, and now a BLACK man AND a FEMALE president back to back? Holy shit! Who let them out of their shackles?? To them this country should only be ruled by wealthy white Christian men as it always has... no progress, no change... so to them this country's headed for the rails at break neck speed. What's next, a transgendered Jewish Mexican? I think they'd have an aneurysm first.

I wonder how soon it will be before Trump's head explodes because it cannot contain his ego and delusions anymore.

These supporters are just so ignorant and close minded. They should all start a community called Trumpville and live and work there. Trump can be the leader, it'll be a great thing, until it goes bankrupt like everything else he has a hand in.

I know, right?

I remember how much hate there was during the the last two presidential elections.

In the beginning I actually feared for Obama's life.

It's really sickening.

The only thing that gives me hope is that with the passage of time attitudes WILL change.

I think the average age of FOX viewers is 69 or something.

Millennials and those that come after won't stand for this.

For me, it's not just the fact that people are tweeting this - don't get me wrong, I think it's a horrible sentiment and just shows what kind of (not all, but some) people are supporting Trump. BUT, when in modern history has there ever been a Presidential campaign where this would be expressed - by anyone! This is what his campaign has brought out in American citizens. Could you imagine Bush (either one) or Reagan supporters EVER expressing such an idea? Would never even have been imaginable. Of course during every Presidential race there are people who are extremely passionate on both sides of the race, but never has there been this level of divisiveness.

I don't know, it doesn't surprise me at all that there are a lot of people that still feel this way. There are millions of Catholics in this country that still support the church which basically won't allow women to have any real roles of power. It also has a lot of backwards views towards women and women's rights. I am sure a lot of people will draw large differences and justify why the church can behave like this and still support the church but to me it's essentially the same way of thinking.

There is going to be a seismic shift in government after this election. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a complete overhaul of the requirements to be president, along with party/committee changes. The RNC is scrambling, they themselves didn't realize the severity of Trump's candidacy and the dire straits we now face. They were like every other American who laughed alongside Trump until the train went off the tracks and left everyone wondering what the hell had happened. They cannot control him - however much a part can control a candidate, that is - but now he's embarassed and torn their party apart that they are just begging to be thrown a life raft.

I don't see Federal requirements changing, but I can definitely see RNC and DNC party changes as soon as the election is over.
