Trump’s Sexism

Harris will make him uncomfortable

When asked about the upcoming debate during an interview at the Texas Tribune Festival yesterday, Liz Cheney said, “At every opportunity, Donald Trump gets to show the American people who he is. His running mate is doing the same.” She paused and thought, then said,

“This is my diplomatic way of putting it: they’re misogynistic pigs. And I think that will become clear.”

He will indeed do his best tomorrow to belittle Harris, but I don’t think he’s ever met such a well prepared female (or any gender, for that matter) debate partner. Harris will be ready. He already has lobbed a few of his favorite female insults towards her, that she’s ugly and stupid. He will try to make her look unpresidential. If you want a good recap of all the debates he has had with women, The NY Times has a good one. Like me, I am sure you unfortunately recall all of them, starting with the first woman he debated, Carly Fiorina in 2015, when he said: “Look at that face — why would anyone vote for that?” I did learn something new: Trump, who is 6’ tall, announced on social media that Kamala Harris, who is 5’4”, will not be allowed to stand on a box. Trump said that would be “a form of cheating.”

If you played a drinking game tomorrow night during the debate and took a shot every time he is sexist or misogynistic…
