Suffrage to suffering: Women empowered Democrats in midterms

Via Richard


Well, ladies, you did it again. No, not all of you. But here's the reality: If only men had voted this election, the GOP would have held the House and picked up some seats. The Senate's Republican majority would be even greater (than plus six or eight) and the Trump train would be full-steam ahead. But women breaking for Democrats by roughly 20 points made this impossible – and Mad Max (Waters) a committee chairman. Egads!

Here are the stats: Women constituted 52 percent of the electorate and went for Democrats 59-40. Men went for Republicans 51-49. Oh, don't get me wrong, this wasn't the guys' finest hour, either; when almost half my fellow "men" are voting for the party of irrationality, well, we're perhaps seeing the consequences of the recent decades' 30-percent drop in testosterone levels.

Yet this merely reflects a simple truth. Regarding voting, men really stink.

Women stink worse.
