I read a piece<\/a> in the NYT about how tRump presently is crushing his republican rivals. The article refers to a recent poll of republican voters, conducted, in part, to understand why so many of them still support this loser. A reply from one such voter caught my eye (emphasis mine)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe might say mean things and make all the men cry because all the men are wearing your wife\u2019s underpants<\/strong> and you can\u2019t be a man anymore,\u201d David Green, 69, a retail manager in Somersworth, N.H., said of Mr. Trump. \u201cYou got to be a little sissy and cry about everything. But at the end of the day, you want results. Donald Trump\u2019s my guy. He\u2019s proved it on a national level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first impression was: he says this like it’s a bad thing (men wearing women’s panties). And then I read it again, more slowly: “your<\/strong> wife’s underpants?” Did he mean the underpants of the wife of the pollster he replied to, or did he mistakenly say your<\/em> when what he really meant was their<\/em> (wife’s underpants)? The latter makes more sense, because what I think Mr. Green may have meant is that married men who are brought to tears by the things tRump says, these men are wearers of women’s underthings, and as such are weak-minded, i.e. pantywaists, sissies, milquetoasts, pansies or cowards. And as such aren’t real<\/em> men. But my question is, how is a husband’s enjoyment of donning a pair of his wife’s panties, to experience the luxurious feel of satin lace against his skin – amirite men<\/em>! – inconsistent with demanding results of his elected leaders? You should try it for yourself Mr. Green! Sad!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
