I guess your campaign has been looking at the poll crosstabs and realized that you have a problem with women. A BIG problem. Women don't approve of you. And they could lose you this $50 million dollar bet you've placed.
So you've just come out with this really sweet ad featuring your daughter, Stephanie:
Aw. It's that so...heartwarming. Really. I'm sure you and Stephanie have a wonderful mother daughter relationship and you are a fantastic grandmother. Mazel Tov to you and Vince on your lovely family.
But seriously Linda - you must not understand women, or you must think we're stupid. Very, very, very stupid. And I'll tell you something that all your high priced political consultants have neglected to tell you, and what's more, I'm going to give you this info for FREE! Yes, you don't have to give me any money, because I know you're getting close to your budget of $50 million, and being a budget conscious woman myself I'm sure you don't want to go over your limit.
So here's my insight, free of charge. Women don't like people who treat us like we're stupid.
'Cause here's the thing. I'm a mom myself, Linda.I have a 14 year-old daughter, who has been one of the lights of my life since the day she was born. And one of the most important things I try to do for my daughter is to be a good role model of a strong, independent woman, and to protect her and fight so that she doesn't ever have to suffer from sexual abuse or sexual harassment, so that she gets equal pay for doing the same job as a man.
One thing I would NEVER do with my daughter Linda, is to put her in a wrestling ring with a guy rubbing his ass in her face or ripping her shirt off for my profit, even if it is only "scripted entertainment".
And while I appreciate that the WWE has tried to clean up its act in recent years (did you know you were thinking of running for Senate?) your past record is a vile stream of misogynistic content including simulated necrophilia and rape.
While you call this "scripted entertainment", I say that creating a culture like this has consequences. Real consequences that affect women in the real world. Women like me. Women like my daughter. Women like my neighbors and their daughters, and my friends and their daughters. Maybe you should read my recent column about the events that took place recently at Yale
And here's the other thing, Linda. You say you want to cut taxes, balance the budget and cut spending. You're very detailed about cutting taxes, but don't want to talk about where you're going to cut spending until after the election. We're not stupid. We know exactly where you're going to cut. From the programs that matter to us most. The reason you don't want to articulate this before the election is because you're afraid we won't vote for you.
