Giuliani: Trump 'better for the United States than a woman'

Donald Trump surrogate Rudy Giuliani on Sunday suggested that a man such as Donald Trump would be a better president "than a woman."

"Don’t you think a man who has this kind of economic genius is a lot better for the United States than a woman, and the only thing she’s ever produced is a lot of work for the FBI checking out her emails," the former New York City mayor said on ABC's "This Week".

Giuliani's statements come on the heels of a week during which the Republican nominee has been criticized by Hillary Clinton's campaign for comments he has made about women. At Monday's debate, Clinton said Trump had insulted former Miss Universe Alicia Machado by calling her "Miss Piggy." Trump and Giuliani both criticized Machado and tried to justify Trump's comments about how much weight Machado had gained.

Giuliani told Stephanopoulos that Clinton was "programmed" to bring up Machado's story

She in no way made it sound like Holt brought that up. Rudy's just throwing his name in there to continue the attack on him

3. Giuliani is absolutely a fascist

I know the terms "Nazi" and "fascist" are thrown around a lot in our politics but Giuliani is one of the few people that I think is legitimately a fascist. If he was a prominent American figure in 1940, he would be a leading voice in establishing relations with Hitler and setting up an American Nazi party.

I don't think most elected republicans are Nazi like but Giuliani is is absolutely a Nazi.

5. Trump spokesnazi Katrina Pierson said she wanted a "purebreed" president again

In 2012, Pierson had complained that both then-GOP nominee Mitt Romney and Obama were not “pure breeds” because their fathers had not been born in the United States. She has also quipped on Twitter that Obama was refusing to help the black community even though he was the “head Negro in charge.”

If anyone thinks there is any kind of "management" or "plan" coming out of that campaign then they haven't been paying attention. Giuliani and Christie have always been rabid dogs with no moral compass and a severe hatred of anyone that isn't a drooling neo-Nazi. They have always been complete bigots, they are just getting a lot more screentime because they work for the racist circus peanut. Having them as the main surrogates just shows a total lack of forethought on the part of the Trump campaign.
