Lucas,
The Republican bench has sunk so low it is barreling into the center of
the earth as I write this.
The way presidential candidates Ted Cruz, John Kasich, and Donald Trump
talk about women and the issues that affect their health and economic
opportunities is disheartening to hear from
anyone in 2016. From someone running for president, it's inexcusable.
But I'll let them speak for themselves:
"[Y]ou wouldn't have your job
if you weren't beautiful."
- Donald Trump addressing a journalist
"It's not easy to be a spouse of an elected official.
You know, they're at home, doing the laundry and doing so many things, while we're up here on the stage getting
a little bit of applause, right?"
- John Kasich
"I intend to lead the fight in the United States Senate to
defund Planned Parenthood..."
- Ted Cruz
Donate $3 now to help elect Hillary Clinton and powerhouse candidates across the country who know and care about issues facing women.
It's not just the White House we have to worry about. Republicans running for the House and Senate are lining up to support the eventual GOP presidential nominee, and that means a nationwide acceptance of their appalling stances.
Senator Mark Kirk in Illinois has already pledged to support Trump if he wins the nomination. We're supporting Tammy Duckworth to beat him and take back the Senate.
And we're with Catherine Cortez Masto in Nevada as she fights to keep Harry Reid's seat out of the hands of Joe Heck, a Republican whose immigration stances are too tinged with Trump already.
Donate $3 to help make sure Hillary Clinton is the one moving into the White House next January and that she's backed up by a Congress with pro-choice Democratic women:
