Did Republican Women get More Offended by Attacks on Carly Fiorina than Megyn Kelly ?

it's interesting that he increased his support among republican women after his attacks on Megyn Kelly. but the attacks on Fiorina seems to have lost him points.

it could just be that they decided to support Fiorina based on the debate and media talking her up. her increase is about the same number of points lost by trump and carson .

i also have a feeling a lot of republican women view the women on fox as more news models and have less respect for them compared to women like fiorina and palin(i know , i know) as more accomplished women who deserve respect.

Even though she's part of Fox, Megyn Kelly is part of the media, so I think a lot of Republicans were happy to see her be a target. Fiorina, not so much.

that have been drilled into their subconscious for so long it's in their DNA. "Liberal Media" It does not matter which media. The GOP has down to a science how to marginalize and denigrate anything they dislike.
The statement attributed to Joseph Goebbels, that a lie quoted often will eventually become the truth, is even quoted by some in the advertising industry. ( Don't mean to offend those working in advertising.) But many political operatives have backgrounds and training in advertising.
Apparently the GOP also has a talent for ignoring spoken facts to their face.
