Here’s the one group that could stop Donald Trump
Can/Will Women save Democracy in America?
A recent poll found 70% of women had a negative view of the Republican, and the ranks of single women – who tend to vote Democratic – are growing
Forget Ted Cruz’s rhetorical flourish, Bernie Sanders’ idealism and Hillary Clinton’s steady hand. The only thing that can #StopDonaldTrump isn’t a candidate, it’s a segment of the electorate – and a very particular one at that.
Women are poised to play a critically important role in the presidential election, and not just because they make up 52% of the voters. To understand what’s happening in this election, you have to focus in on marriage, and particularly on the fact that more than ever before, women are delaying it.

As Rebecca Traister relays in her bestselling new book All The Single Ladies , today just 20% of Americans ages 18 to 29 are married – in 1960 that number was nearly 60%. That is not a bit of cultural trivia to be shared as part of conversational pleasantries between friends. It’s a profound political realization: single women tend to vote Democratic and as their ranks grow, so does their power.
