Women Are Overwhelmingly for Trump
That impact was felt immediately this week at the Trump rally at Nassau Coliseum. Walking through the crowd it was easy to see that the leftist narrative that Trump was against women, thus if you were a woman you aren't for Trump was completely inaccurate. I live in a family where my mother and wife are Trump supporters so this shouldn't have come as a surprise to me, but the sheer number of women at the event was quite shocking. There was a point in the pre-rally where I would go as far to say there were more women than men among the tens of thousands there.
