Democrats Will Not Regain Power While Bill & Hillary Clinton are Motivating Conservative Women to Vote

October 17, 2018         Vol. XI, No. 17         2:13 pm

Conservative Women will Vote in Record Numbers

Former President and First Lady Bill and Hillary Clinton were back in the news stirring up politically counterproductive controversy last week with Hillary proclaiming in an October 9, 2018 interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour that you can’t be civil with Republicans until after you defeat them, and stating in a CBS “Sunday Morning” interview that “No,” her husband’s affair with Monica Lewinski, a 22-year-old White House intern, was not an abuse of power.

Old-school, baggage-laden, out-of-touch establishment Democrats like Bill and Hillary Clinton are the #1 obstacle to the Democratic Party’s political recovery efforts in 2018. They are motivating conservative women to vote in record numbers with insults and dismissiveness. Conservative women don’t think for themselves. You should believe liberal women victims of sexual assault but not Bill Clinton’s conservative sexual assault victims.

Hillary Clinton probably was not thinking about women when she referred to Trump supporters as “a basket full of deplorables” during the 2016 presidential race, but the 53% of white women in North Carolina who voted for Trump took it personally. It motivated them to vote.

The college-educated white voters in North Carolina who voted for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by four points were probably also offended by Hillary Clinton’s claim that they were “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic – you name it.” It motivated them to vote.

Democrats will never regain power in Washington, DC or Raleigh as long as Hillary Clinton is empowering conservative women to turn out and vote. Hillary continued her insults earlier this year when she told an audience in Mumbai, India that white women who support President Trump are under “a sort of ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever, believes you should.”

Hillary Clinton has a hard time accepting the fact that conservative women with or without college degrees can think for themselves. Perhaps that’s why young, progressive women all over the United States have turned down every opportunity to get behind Hillary Clinton’s campaigns for the presidency.

In 2008, young progressive women chose Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primary. In 2016, young progressive women chose Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton. And in the fall of 2016, young progressive women in large numbers chose to stay home.

Political Parties Have Zero Moral Authority on Sexual Misconduct

Which political party do you believe has a higher degree of moral authority on matters of sexual misconduct? After careful consideration of that question, I have concluded the following: both parties are tied at zero on anything to do with moral authority and sexual misconduct. Zero each. Period.

The great irony of the #MeToo movement is that it has confirmed what women who supported  President Trump in 2016 have known all along: Democratic men are in no position to claim moral authority on matters of sexual misconduct over Republican men because they are just as bad.

That’s why Democrats who think that they are going to gain politically with their moral outrage over the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation hearing are in for a rude awakening. Democrats have zero moral authority with allegations of Republican sexual misconduct as long as they are dismissive of allegations against former president Bill Clinton of rape (Juanita Broaddrick), groping (Kathleen Willey), sexual assault (Leslie Millwee) and exposing himself (Paula Jones).

Believe the women?

The hypocrisy of Democrats using sexual misconduct as a compelling reason for risking the second longest period of economic expansion since World War II by throwing Republicans out of Congress is so outrageous that it is likely to backfire and drive up turnout of conservative women.

Republicans made a big mistake in 1998 by thinking voters would risk the longest period of US economic expansion since World War II over Democratic President Bill Clinton’s affair with a White House intern. Voters didn’t want to risk losing economic prosperity over matters of sexual misconduct when they knew Republicans were just as bad.

Sexual misconduct as a political wedge issue backfired on Republicans in 1998, and it is going to backfire on Democrats in 2018.

Thanks to historic economic expansion, the number of gerrymandered GOP-friendly districts, old-school, baggage-laden, out-of-touch establishment Democrats like Bill and Hillary Clinton motivating conservative women to vote in record numbers, along with President Trump’s high job approval among conservatives thanks to a promises kept agenda including a 5-4 conservative US Supreme Court, Republicans will hold their majorities in Washington DC and Raleigh on November 7, 2018.
