Moore GOP women turn DC’s war on women meme on its head
You hear the same spin all over the place — the war on women, conservatism chasing away women voters into the arms of the Democrats and Hillary Clinton. Yadda-yadda-yadda.
Some of the same ladies the pundits try to tell us are running away from Cruz and Trump gave DC pundit Patrick Haggerty the business at the Moore Republican Women luncheon in Pinehurst last week. (Watch this video starting at about the 50 minute mark.)
Haggerty started to raise the ire of the ladies by harping on “electability”. “Do you want President Hillary Clinton or a Republican?,” he asked the ladies during his presentation.
Haggerty cited John Kasich and Jeb Bush as an example of an “electable” ticket. He stuck with that theme even as audience members pointed out that Cruz and Trump have been winning, while Kasich and Bush have not.
Haggerty asked whether the audience thought Donald Trump was “electable,” and was met by a resounding chorus of “Yes.”
“Why do people in Washington think we are so stupid that we can’t make an intelligent decision?,” one woman in the audience asked Haggerty — hitting on the whole brokered, open convention theme Haggerty appeared to champion.
Club president Kay Wildt closed the meeting with a call for the ”inner circle” and “old guard” to allow grassroots newcomers in on the party’s processes.
The moral of this story? Don’t get down from listening to the drive-bys. Get out and listen to REAL PEOPLE.
What we ought to be pushing back with is Obama’s War on Affordable Energy, specifically his coal power plant rule that will double our electric bills, and corporate welfare for cronies in the expensive and unreliable green energy ”industry”. This ”war on women” stuff is crap.
You have hit the nail on the head that the pundits in DC just don’t understand the real world. Why invite those morons here to NC?
Thank God for the MRW! They REAL Republicans (with backbones and brains) in Moore County!
Maybe one of these conservitive moore county women will run for national committee women
Guess the Pilot didn’t cover any of this – no surprise there.
Moore Republican Women is a club of committed women who give of their time and treasure to literacy and education programs, the Food Bank, supporting our veterans through MMIA, The Fisher House, NC Veterans’ Home, the Sheriff’s Operation Bear Hug Program, and many other outreach programs. We will not tolerate the Beltway Insiders jamming another RINO loser down our throat as they did in 2008 and 2012. God bless the women who stood up and objected to being told that the Establishment was going to pick our candidate, rather than the candidates for whom WE THE PEOPLE voted.
