The whole "Pelosi is the devil" meme is hammered into their skulls over and over. Ask any Fox news zombie why they hate Pelosi and they give you a blank stare. They don't know why, they only know they've been told that they should hate her.

I didn't see media blaming Saccone's loss on his affiliation with Speaker Ryan. No sexist message there.

Fox news and am radio are constantly beating that drum. Most can't point to anything specific. If asked, they'll inevitably answer something like, "she wants to take all my money and give it to poor people (meaning black people)." But none of them really know why they hate her.

The trump voter hates shrinkage.

But this is a really good question. I feel certain that if you asked them, they would give you a word for word answer from Rush Limbo, and if you told them they had to put it in their own words they wouldn't be able to.

Leadership positions. Because it's the idea and concept of a women having such power which turns them off in itself.

For Pelosi gender, the fact she is obviously educated, affluent mark her for targeted treatment as a “liberal”. Republicans have literally spent millions defining her with distortions and hyperbole personal attacks.

Remember.. their "values" are trump values..

long enough to realize there is no cure for what they lack. Women are on the rise and moving into the rarefied circles of power and influence. They did that because they are smarter, braver, self-confident, educated, experienced, and they have an inclusive vision that will take us into the future where strength of character, honor and integrity counts more than testosterone levels.
