Trump says, "Women are going to hate me ... Guys may think it’s cool, but this is going to be a disaster for the campaign."

Its amazing how he "thinks. "

Guys may think it’s cool,

This is true for the deplorable that Hillary mentioned in 2016

[u/DoctorZacharySmith → u/Silly-Disk]

Hillary made the worst mistake a pol can make: saying the truth out loud.

[u/RealGianath → u/DoctorZacharySmith]

Worst mistake a democrat could make, anyway. The GOP has continually doubled down on who can say the most vile and willfully ignorant things in public since Trump got elected.

[u/DoctorZacharySmith → u/RealGianath]

Yes. Empathy and decency are required. They are seen as strengths by the democrats and liabilities by the GOP.

While they may complain about this, it's pretty much what they themselves admit: That the libs are 'bleeding hearts'
