A lot of people simply refuse to cross party lines, regardless of common sense. Plus he's Pro-life which is apparently still a topic of interest.

What are you talking about? That was a gender neutral complaint 
Some people just really do not like going against their own party, it happens. As somebody that doesn't belong to a party it's a little baffling. I know plenty of women that voted for him, though most were anti-Hillary more so than Pro-Trump. Some also just saw him as a better person to help the economy and went that way regardless of his actions.
Dudes our president, he's also a scumbag and someone that brags about sexually assaulting women, those titles can co-exist with one person. He isn't the first, won't be the last.

No, we don't. However, what we actually do as human beings defines us.

From the closed Trumpocalypse thread:
Unfortunately, the evidence from studies doesn't support your beliefs. There is little to no evidence that students perform better when they switch from regular public schools to charter schools or private schools. That's why "school choice" activists cherry pick individual "miracle" schools. And nowadays they talk less about performance in math and language arts and more about metrics that can be manipulated such as graduation and college-attendance rates.
Where's your evidence? Are your beliefs based on the evidence? If not, then why should public policy be made based on your beliefs instead of the evidence?

Trump's nominee, Betsy DeVos, agrees with me on these points. I think she's a great choice.

Most people don't. And regret? First chance he had to retract and apologize he just minimized his bragging of sexual assault with "it's just locker room talk". That's the behavior of a repeat offender, not somebody that said something they regret and are looking to change.

We also have millions of poor people who don't see themselves the same as the "other" poor people. It's mind numbing but true.

Charter schools are not regulated as public schools are, which is a huge problem. If you compare public v.s. charter schools, using students of similar socioeconomic status, the public schools usually kick their ass. Ghostbuster is correct in his above statement.
Devos quite simply has interest in shifting money from low income public schooling to private charter schools, thus widening the gap between the two.

The Women's March in Chicago has been turned into a rally because too many people showed up, and it's quite likely the Washington march will exceed the size of the first Tea Party rallies across the country combined.
If this goes beyond a one-day protest and into an organized opposition movement, Republicans are going to learn a harsh lesson in 2018.

Women also aren't a hive mind (in response to why women voted for Trump).

My wife and a bunch of her friends are at the one in New York City. They expect between 100,000 - 200,000.
