All Obama has to do is call Trumps bluff. It's really that simple and he could lock up the womens vote (at least those who are on the fence). Here's my thinking and it's all an upside for Obama.
#1. Obama finally brings down one of the biggest loud-mouths next to Hannity and Rush by calling his bluff and forcing him to shell out $5 million. I can't imagine Trump has too many female followers since he's the rich, cocky, combover guy... and being made a fool would put icing on that cake.
#2.Trump is known to be a big Romney supporter so this would also hurt Romney indirectly.
#3. Like Obama said in a speech today, trust is one of the most important things voters look for in a president, and since he is the most transparent president in history, the releasing of his records would solidify that claim.
#4. Obama could donate that money to breast cancer research, battered womens shelters, Planned Parenthood, or any number of organizations that help women. Obama would be an instant hero and could very well stop the trending toward Romney.
There's probably more but these are the big ones.
Now for the downside... I can't think of a single one. Everyone knows Obama is a brilliant scholar right? He was the president of the Harvard Law Review so he must have had excellent grades (another plus because it would confirm to voters that he's smart enough to save the country).
We also know how honest the president is... surely there wouldn't be anything in his applications that was non-factual or illegal.
So help me out here, what's the downside? (looking for answers from Obama supporters because they obviously know the truuth about him)
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
We've already seen the "best idea to lockup the women's vote:
At a Tuesday night Senate debate in Indiana, Republican Richard Mourdock said that pregnancies that result from rape can be "something that God intended to happen." With only two weeks remaining and most voters decided about the Indiana race, it is unclear whether Mourdock's standing will suffer. For now, however, Mourdock currently leads Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) by 4.9 points in the HuffPost Pollster estimate, which includes all available polls.
Missouri Rep. Todd Akin's (R) "legitimate rape" comments have already cost his party the lead in a state where Republicans had an upper hand in polling against Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) all summer. Akin now trails McCaskill by 6.9 points in the HuffPost Pollster estimate and the race is now rated as "strong Democratic."
LJ,
Your echo chamber ideas that women are concerned more with birth control than the horrible economy do not appear to be affecting support for Romney. Or maybe Team Axelrod released the Fluke too many month's ago?
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
And your echo chamber seems to think if you keep repeating "economy/jobs" women will forget the Neanderthals and cretins that are passing measure after measure to get between them and their healthcare decisions, and their doctors, and their choices (which ARE "economic") about when and IF to have children.
Get over Fluke... That's as much of an issue as "Binders of women"...
You still have a 12-18% gap with women... You still have a 68% gap with Latinos.... You still have a 75-85% gap with Blacks.....You still have 99% gap with LGBT... You even have a gap with Veterans, and Seniors... Ohio is 5% leaning back to Obama... Without Ohio, you're toast...
AP poll: Romney erases Obama advantage among women
A month ago, women favored Obama over Romney on the economy 56 percent to 40 percent. Now, the split has shifted to 49 percent for Romney and 45 percent for Obama.
There is more bad news in the data for Obama. While he’s still seen as relatively favorable among likely voters (51/45, +6), Romney now has a +10 favorability rating at 52/42. Romney has a seven-point lead on trust on the economy (51/44) and eight points on the deficit (51/43). Romney now has a one-point edge on protecting the country at 47/46, a big change from last month’s six-point advantage for Obama at 51/45. That has to be the Benghazi effect.
What gap with women... where do you get your figures from?
Any word on the Man vote, or even more important, how the Land Owners are going to vote, they actually are the one's that own the country?
For the women, couldn't one of the candidates promise to stop locking up 1 out of every 20 of these women's children or is there really something they care about more, like aborting/killing them before they can be locked up later?
LJ, how does it make you feel as a woman, that Ohio is deciding election regardless of what you do, it is empowering, does it endear you to the system?
So what would be the downside for Obama to call his bluff, donate to breast cancer research, and be a hero to women across the country? I don't see a downside raees, do you?
