This portends poorly for you guys. Most women now vote Democrat. This by itself spells doom for the GOP since most of the US populace is female.
The only group left that the GOP gets a majority of votes from will be white men. That's it. And those numbers are declining as a percentage of the electorate. GOP fantasies about a majority of POC and women turning back to the GOP will never, ever materialize - and after Trump, that's become never never never ever even after hell freezes over.
The GOP has lost the majority of the POC and women vote forever. And their absolute arrogance prevents them from realizing this.
And now GOP women are pondering leaving. Meanwhile the GOP fiddles and celebrates their temporary dominance of America while vast political coal seam fires rage under their own streets.

The Republican Women Donald Trump Alienated
Conservative women who oppose the incoming president must decide whether to stay in the GOP or leave.
Melanie Watson can’t stand the thought that Donald Trump will soon be president of the United States. The 53-year old Dallas, Texas resident voted against him, despite the fact that she describes herself as a lifelong Republican. And she wants nothing to do with the Republican Party now that it has become the party of Trump.
“The GOP failed this country, and I blame the GOP for Trump,” Watson said in an interview. “I can’t stay in a party that didn’t stand up to Trump, and that’s willing to support him as president.”
.....
While a majority of women voted for Hillary Clinton, Trump won over 53 percent of white women. But Clinton still appears to have been successful in convincing some women who had voted Republican in past elections to vote for her: She won a majority of college-educated white women by a narrow margin—despite the fact that Mitt Romney won that group of voters in the 2012 election by 52 percent.
If more conservative or Republican-leaning women feel alienated by Trump over the next four years, the Democratic Party will have an opportunity to expand its reach, especially if it can make the case to disenchanted Republicans that Democrats represent their values better.[/quote]
Remember the lesson of Centralia, PA: you don't see coal seam fires until they break through your streets and destroy your city.
The GOP's entire world is sitting on coal seam fires.
