Opinion: Women can feel confident voting for Trump
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
It’s been 99 years since American women gained the right to vote.
As we approach the centenary of suffrage next year, we can celebrate this milestone by voting to extend one of the most significant presidencies for women in American history.
It will be a fitting anniversary. A century ago, women organized into groups just like ours to agitate for the vote and got the 19th Amendment ratified. In 1920, their votes helped to deliver a Republican landslide and usher in the “Roaring ‘20s,” the greatest era of prosperity the country had ever seen.
Exactly 100 years later, Republican women have a chance to do the same thing again in the 2020 presidential election.
The time for skepticism on the Trump economy has long since long come and gone. This isn’t a flash in the pan. We’re in the midst of the longest economic expansion in American history — more than 10 years without a recession. But, like back in 1920, that expansion was anemic and reserved for only the top economic strata until President Donald Trump’s victory in November of 2016.
Trump has achieved the strongest overall economic growth since the start of the Great Recession, and he’s made sure that this time the prosperity is shared by ordinary Americans, especially women, and not just the ones with jobs on Wall Street.
With unemployment holding steady in the mid-3% range, Americans are enjoying the lowest jobless rate since 1969. Women are doing even better, achieving a 3.6% unemployment rate last year, the lowest female unemployment rate since 1954, when far fewer women were in the workforce. And the jobs being created in the Trump economy are good ones, too — wage growth is beating inflation consistently for the first time in decades.
Meanwhile, our roads, bridges, tunnels, rail links, seaports and dozens of other fixtures of American infrastructure are in a sad state. With overwhelming public support, Trump has tried to get Democrats to help pass a bill to fix it. Instead of helping, the Democrats in Congress have played politics for almost three years, determined to show their base they can “#resist,” even when that means refusing to invest in the tools American industry needs to succeed.
The president’s record speaks for itself, and it’s a record that women can feel confident voting to extend. This is just the beginning; there is much more important work yet to be done. Another four years will mean Donald Trump will have the political capital to get Congress to finally enact a paid family leave plan and child care funding that will allow millennial women with careers to start a family on a solid financial footing.
The 2020 election is still more than a year away. It’s not too early to organize with other women to make sure Michigan goes “red” again.
Katrina Pierson is a senior adviser for Donald J. Trump for President Inc. She will be speaking Thursday at a Women for Trump event in Troy.

From the 2016 results:
"One might think Donald Trump's sexist and vulgar statements would sway female voters away from the candidate. But roughly 53% of white women voted for Trump on Tuesday, CNN reported.
Ladies, let's do it again!
That may be difficult considering the way progressive leftist liberals go out of their way to demean and demonize any conservative ladies who even say they are even thinking about voting Trump or non Democrat. Talk about hypocrisy.
All women have to do is listen to our fine progressives. If that dosen't drive them to Trump nothing will.
[DELETED]
Sounds like someone got the memo that female support for trump is falling....bigly.
I learned last time around not to believe the polls.
Maybe you should let trump know because he is clearly paying attention to them.
And you sure seemed to believe those polls in your first comment.
I believe he disputed them in 2016. I expect him to do it again. The rallies tell the tale!
And you sure seemed to believe those polls in your first comment.
My first comment didn't deal with polls. It dealt with the actual demographics of how women voted in 2016.
The only tales the rallies tell is that there are Trump supporters. If he was pulling in independents or people trying to decide who to vote for, you might have a point. But Trump's tallies are packed with only deplorables that were already going to vote for him no matter what.
We get it, many Trump supporters refuse to believe in polls, facts or science and reject what their own eyes and ears see and hear about this President like when he was bragging about grabbing women by the pussy without their consent because he believed himself "a star". They prefer to have their ears tickled.
Question one. Who lead in the polls throughout the 2016 presidential election?
Question two. Who is now the president of the United States?
75% of the population is what you are talking about
Is that what you see? Imagine if all the women in America could read your comments?
I think most women would be taken back by some of the commentary here.
Trump's giant gender gap: 62 percent of women say they are unlikely to vote for him
But what do expect when you have a president that has almost no respect at all for women.
Ya, we heard it before!
He cheated on all three of his wives, even he admitted it. That's not showing respect to women. Grab them by the pussy, a woman with a flat chest can't be a 10, etc. etc. etc.... The list of misogynistic comments from trump is almost endless. And lets not forget the 19 women that have accused him of sexual assault.
And that means women shouldn't vote for him? (Or Bill Clinton?) On the other side liberals say women need not think for themselves & vote as a dumb ass voting block. And if a woman is Pro-Life, she's not welcome in the democratic party. Good luck selling that!
What happened to those, "traditional Christian Conservative family values"? Guess they only matter when a Dem is in office, right?
But hey, if you don't want to vote for Bill in the upcoming election 30 years ago, don't.
I guess it's not always that easy is it? Do we vote on family values for a womanizer who wants to protect them or an ideology that wants to destroy them? Oh, wait it actually isn't that hard!
But hey, if you don't want to vote for Bill in the upcoming election 30 years ago, don't.
Actually I liked him as President. He reformed Welfare and left the Reagan economy alone!
But what do expect when you have a president that has almost no respect at all for women.
that's not true. if a woman looks like playboy bunny, fucks like a porn star, and has the brains of a teenage beauty pageant contestant, our fearless leader wants to give them a lot more than respect.
Somehow he had enough decency not to engage in sex with some bimbo in the White House!
"Opinion: Women can feel confident voting for Trump"
Not any that I am acquainted with (I will admit, it is a small circle).
You just need to complete the sentence to understand it.
"Opinion: Women can feel confident voting for Trump will be against their own self interests"
Hee.
I didnt know NT was a comedy site.
Just look at your new avatar!
No way...women vote against their own self interest if they vote for this moron
You got to keep telling them that! Maybe you'll find some drugged up pig that says "she dreamed of blowing up the White House." But you won't get many.
I will and yes who would vote for trump the pig
I respect Madonna in that she is a self made millionaire and worked her ass off to be where she is today unlike trumptard who was handed money on a silver platter.
Just enough people to get him elected
Considering the uptick of white woman who voted Democrats in 2018, I don't believe the Republican party has done anything that will change that trajectory. The issues important to many suburban women are not bring addressed by this administration.
What are those issues?
Define suburban women?
Reproductive rights, violence against women, equal pay, gun safety, etc.
Come on Vic, surely you know the demographics that define suburban women.
Let's see, reproductive rights are important to pro-choice women, right? They aren't voting for Trump. Violence against women is a universal concern. equal pay is a concern to some and gun safety/vs gun rights is a unique issue. Usually those who favor gun rights are single issue voters.
Come on Vic, surely you know the demographics that define suburban woman.
You mean educated & well off.
As noted in my opening statement - Trump got 52% of the white women vote. Will those suburban women all vote the way you think?
Might I recommend that you take a peek at the CNN link provided in the quote used.
