As you look at the polling numbers, you have been looking at right now the hole donald trump is facing among female voters. How does he overcome that . He is facing a deep hole. He is not doing very well among republican women. The one thing that is going to happen is that he and Hillary Clinton have both made this an issue. There has been a huge gender issue. What he is attempting to do is to make an issue out of bill clinton and what he has done, his infidelities. That is how trump attempting to make up the gap. Whether it works and not remains to be seen. Host there has been speculation on who he would select as his running mate. Electedose a female official, governor, senator, what impact could that have as he tries to build his own coalition within the gop and the broader electorate . That could definitely help him. He could say, listen, i have a woman who is my number two. I want women in my cabinet. He has said that before. But it waits definitely send a signal that he does want women to be a large part of his administration. Will women play in the selection, not only those that the New York Times pointing out the amount of money they are contribute in but those seeking Elective Office this year . Women are going to play a huge role. It will be interested to see what women will do, if they will talk about donald trump his comments he made about women. About women ins the past. As part of the electric, they will make a huge difference. Hillary clinton is really going after suburban women who could potentially decide the course of the election at this point. Suburban republican women who do not like what donald trump is saying. A hugeis going to be election for women and the gender issue is going to be one of the big ones going into november. Host i want to share an ad that priorities usa is erring and is focused on some of the comments made by donald trump in the past. Aimed at the female vote.

Mr. Trump yes. You look at that spot and it is just the first salvo in what is likely to be a Nasty Campaign on both sides. Yeah, absolutely. I think we are going to see a lot more ads like that. We have started seeing them there is a Democratic Senate candidate in arkansas who read a similar ad ran a similar ad. Splicing together donald trump talking about his sex life on howard stern and using it against his opponents. , andis the first salvo is definitely going to be used by house and senate and other candidates as well. Host what you looking for ahead, your colleagues writing about this is the headline the right facing a crisis in the gop. A lot of consternation among the conservative than the party and so many different layers, the female vote among them. What is next for the gop, especially in light of the fact there is going to be a key meeting on thursday between donald trump and Speaker Paul Ryan . You know, as we know, speaker ryan does not yet support trump. I think it is going to figure out if people are going to call us behind him. If they are not, there is going to be a big movement to draft a 3third party. Looking forward, it can be who is going to line up behind trump and who is not.

The tone, the rhetoric of donald trump, your thoughts . Well, people have said that if he wants to appeal to women sure, he has a good way t o do it, keeping the country safe. On the other hand, there are women who are just do not like his rhetoric about what he said about women, what he has done in the past. Ore security one is, m people say it is supposed to be a good one. It is funny i was in san diego couple weeks ago at a ted cruz, and there were donald trump protesters outside.

T to hear forrom women only for the first 45 minutes. Focused on this campaign and what is important to you. 2027488000. Judy is joining us from georgia, democrats lines. Good morning. Go ahead. You are on the air. Woman as you know the rocks the cradle. She is the one that rules the nation p so i believe women should be much more, theyre becoming much more important in this campaigns. And then National Security is my biggest thing right now. For theandidat oes republican, it is a very scary thing. And i think the women understand that our nation needs to be protected for our children. And im very nervous. Host you did a great job. Dont be nervous. Thank you for voting in phoning in. On our line from georgia. Owley has this essay it washington times. Why women just arent into the president ial race. The dominance of colorful personalities and the raging desire to smash the establishment status quo, the 2016 campaign has been a and yet not everyone is saying pay ing as close attention to the race. Women have Better Things to do, according to a new gallup survey. Many women just are not into the president ial race or not as much as they used to. Next is betty joining us from florida. I think theyes, most important issue that affects everybody is jobs. When president obama put out that infrastructure job bill about three or four years ago, the republicans voted against it. The reason they voted against it was because in order to find that bill anybody making over 1 million had to pay a tax. Now the republicans hate that. It is amazing. Hillary clinton never mentions that. But she does not like to hurt millionaires. Another issue that i think is very important is honesty. Regarding this email of private server issue with hillary, she said a few weeks ago and i will quote her. Or receivedt emails containing topsecret information. She has been in government 30 years. You mean to tell me what she is looking something that is hot as a pistol, topsecret, she does not know what it is . I do not trust that woman and i believe bernie is telling the truth. [hangs up] host trump is rude, but what theven more urdrude is american economy. To the working people in america, especially the husband. Onlinellup survey is with a headline women paying less attention compared to men. Men have been paying more attention to the 2016 race. Men say they of are following election news very closely compared to 31 of women. From marietta, georgia. Good morning. Caller good morning. My comment the most important thing is the economy. People need jobs. Hostsly, when i hear try to put all women together when you say womens issues. Women are not the same. We do not have the same issues. As far as donald trump is concerned, women have ane elitist point of view and that if they seem to think of a woman is not voting for hillary somehow she is stupid. We can see through hillarys wanted awomen really woman presents they could ahead at a long time ago because women are the majority in these United States. Host this is from huffington post. Nearly half of republican women say they cannot vote for donald trump. Hillary clinton has a problem with male voters, and americans have it hit its peak polarization. Where trump has a serious problem with women and Hillary Clinton has a steep hill to climb among male voters. Catherine is joining us from tampa, florida. Caller good morning. Host you are on the air, catherine. Caller my major concern is extremism, whether it be too far to the left or too far to the right. Certainly trump falls off the end on the right with respect to issues, military issues. Hes talking about dropping bombs, Nuclear Bombs everywhere. That doesnt eliminate the concern i have about hillary being a hawk. Im an old lady. I think we need to learn what the issues are, to be able to compromise on those issues without allegations that we principle. Host if you have a choice between Hillary Clinton and donald trump, who do you vote for . Caller hillary is at least sane. Host nbc has this story based onn comments made friday. Unrestrained donald trump called Hillary Clinton and unbelievable nasty, mean and mabel or who destroyed the lives of her husbands mistresses. The comments made during that event marking the sharpest tone he has taken against the Democratic Front runner since becoming the parties republican nominee. A total shes been enabler. She would go after these women and destroy their lives. She was an unbelievably nasty, mean enabler. What she did to a lot of these women is disgraceful. That is from nbc news. Com. Irvine, kentucky. You have a primary coming up. Caller good morning. Im calling on behalf of i think everybody out there, should get the book meet the next president and read it where hillary says about everybody. She does not apologize for nothing. I think people need to wake up. Look how they did sarah palin. She was a woman and she was running. What is it, a double standard . This is not about women. It is about the economy and growth and where we have been the last eight years. This is the worst election on both sides and the only reason Hillary Clinton has got Elizabeth Warren out there talking is because its to get everybody off her back so she looks like an innocent person. Everybody remember back what all happened in the 1990s under bill clinton and hillary. Thank you and have a good day. The well go back front page of the New York Times. The role of women in politics. They are building their political clout. Democrats have benefited from groups like emilys list, which was founded in the mid1980s to elect Democratic Women who are abortion rights advocates lets go to linda next from columbia, maryland, independent line. Caller the reason i think donald would be great for women, he has had, hes employed so many in his organization and very few, o ther than one i might know of, that ever complained. Women get paid more than the men on average, also. He has more women working for him than men. An opportunityad to do something from the middle east, the women of the middle east. Instead she put on a burka. She never mentioned their plight that i recall the whole time she was secretary of state. So, i think when you compare records, donald has a lot more thanomen than men, hillary. National review. The kids are not all right. The zika virus, a Mysterious Illness with devastating effects. Is the next Public Health crisis in your backyard . This Washington Post sunday crisis, same different answer. A look how canada is dealing with the situation in syria. Many coming to the u. S. And canada. The New York Times is reporting this morning that the devastating fires in alberta resulting into the displacement of many syrians who have moved to that part of the world. Cumberland, maryland. Issue that is important to you in this campaign, what is it, caroline . Voted democrat ever since i could vote. And imc 73 and im going to vote for donald trump this year because i am 73. I cannot stand Hillary Clinton. I do not like what happened with those four men getting slaughtered and benghazi and i would not vote for Hillary Clinton if you gave me 1 million. As far as vika is concerned, i think maybe we could get a pill that would make the smelly smell come out on our skin that would make the vika mosquitoes disappear. Or use some kind of strong soap when you go out cutting grass or doing yard work, and i think that would be a help. Thank you for letting me express my opinion. Thank you. Host athe weekly standard. The cover story. A look at the president ial election facing donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Bill kristol has been advocating the possibility of a Third Party Candidate. Thee always voted for republican candidate from nixon to Ronald Reagan and George Herbert walker bush and bob dole and george w. Bush twice to john mccain and mitt romney. Ive checked the box on all 11 occasions. About half the time i voted for someone else in the primary host bill kristol announcing he will join couple of other republicans, including George Herbert walker bush and George Walker bush and john mccain and mitt romney not supporting donald trump. Myers, florida. Good morning. What issue is important to you in this campaign . Caller actually, i was calling to say that ive been observing women my whole life and i seem to be the only one that has logic, due to what i was educated. In fact, i dont have children. Gher always held men in hi esteem than women. Everything that trump says about women and the way women are is pretty much true. So, i have no problem with how he feels. I just wish he did not have to be so hirsute in the way he speaks. And tone it down, the rhetoric. I hope he picks a male. I would hate to see him pick a female because i would respect him more if you take the competent man. Men could rule better than gold in my year golda meyer and Maggie Thatcher did not do too great of a job. Some of those of an absolutely terrible. Host the call from fort myers. Bill has this point. Should women vote first for women. Is more important to vote for her because she is a woman. This story focus on the First Congress taking place in north korea since 1980. Its leader kim jongun saying and Nuclear Arsenal is a deterrent. Available online on nytimes. Co m, with a rare picture inside the Congress Taking place inside the capital city of north korea. Well go to forums, connecticut. Linda, what issue is important to you in this campaign . Caller my issue is in the campaign is the economy. I really believe that we need to, get a double bang for our b uck and rebuild our infrastructure and do and it weighs were reviews the most affordable ways, technology, those are my issues. And do it in ways that are the most affordable ways. On the sidebar what with what is being spoken about with mr. Srump bringing up mr. Clinton past dalliances and saying she enabled it. This is kind of like saying if i got hit by a car and the person drove off, i should be blamed for dneting th denting their car. Not to mention the fact mr. Trump has offered very little in actual policies, things that our nation run on. How is going to run it. What he is going to do. It has all been just bluster. And i think it is time we tone it down, and get down to the running our nation. Host happy mothers day to all the moms. The factaying is both sides
