Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n<p>Much less examined are their male counterparts. While recent polls show that white women with a college degree favor Democratic House candidates by a large margin, 20 points or more, white college-educated men \u2014 who focus more singularly on economic issues, according to surveys \u2014 are a potential bulwark for the president and his party. It is especially true in suburban battleground districts that are likely to help decide the next House majority.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\">Those women with Trump supporting husbands need to emulate Lysistrata. <strong>RESIST<\/strong>!! <strong>VOTE BLUE<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#0000ff\"><strong>Cartoon<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; border-top-width: 0px\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.7thstep.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/1014Cartoon.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WWWendy is due in 45 min., so I&#8217;ll finish politicking this after she leaves.&#160; Then I&#8217;ll meditate upon the Holy Ellipsoid Orb.
