KING OF PRUSSIA, Penn. (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign sought to energize women voters in the battleground state of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, betting a message of economic prosperity will boost support from suburban women uneasy with the direction of the Republican Party.

Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law, urged the several hundred women gathered at a casino convention center outside Philadelphia to ask their neighbors whether they have more money in their pockets and are paying less taxes since Trump became president.

“The reality is that for a vast majority of Americans the answer is yes,” she told supporters - mostly white women - at the event in the King of Prussia suburb.

Suburban women in congressional districts like the one the Trump campaign visited on Tuesday played a key role in ushering in a Democratic wave of victories in U.S. House of Representatives races in the 2018 congressional elections, robbing Republicans of their majority and delivering a rebuke of Trump.

In Pennsylvania, Democrats won nine congressional seats, the same amount as Republicans, who held a 13-5 advantage before the elections.

1. :D

[qazplm135]

5. you laugh

but I would not want to take a bet that he won't get at least half of all white women again in 2020.

7. I'm sorry it's just

that I'm so overwhelmed, when I saw this it was a reaction of disbelief.

6. That was my reaction, as well.

There's not a chance in the world that that motherfucker sway me into believing that he is anything other than the dregs of humanity. And, I'm not so sure about the "humanity" part. That also goes for my sisters, my niece, and every last one of my female friends. Not even if you held a gun to our heads...

2. White women

had better not go for this pussy-grabber/racist again. I don't want to be part of a group who'd support him...again.

9. +1

3. Yeah right....Dream on Trump....

Women are paying attention to Republican efforts to roll back....

Reproductive Rights
Voting Rights
Educational opportunities
Equal Pay
Marriage Equality
Equal Protections under the Law
Higher Minimum Wage
Taking away Health Care via the ACA/Defunding Planned Parenthood
Slashing funding for WIC, SNAP, Housing and Heating Assistance
Gutting Head Start/ Reduced or Free School Lunches
Workers Rights
Slashing Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security

and a whole lot more programs that affect women and families. If Trump and the Republicans try to say that they are the better party for women, then I have Ocean front property in Iowa to sell them.

4. He probably lost a lot of women the last year. Women are usually more keen and acute

To trumps brand. Realize how bad he is for women and will never vote for him.

8. I am as swayed and energized as I've ever been by a President.

But not in the way he wants. Does he really think he can undo "grab 'em by the pussy"?

[struggle4progress]

10. "Remember, ladies! We need the racists' votes to win! And for them, we also need the sexists' votes!

So don't bother your pretty little heads about this anymore! Just vote for me!"

11. He will still get the very uneducated white women...

those that barely made it though high school or didn't. I know a few of them and in my estimation they are so terribly intimidated by strong, educated, and self-confident women, and they mask their insecurities by spouting their faux news talking points, usually in very loud voices. Even worse, articulate and highly educated women of color make them feel even more inferior.

12. When you ask people if they have more money now than then but don't let them answer and you say yes

is when you know you're losing
