    @looch: well true. There are definitely women who feel that way too.

    @MrsSCB: I agree. I think it's purposeful trolling. This is just wild speculation, but I think the GOP is trying to set Marco Rubio up as VP so are feeding their more base of the Republican base someone to say yes the Republican Party still gets us before the real race heats up and they have to join a bandwagon they think is too moderate and foreign.

    @yoursilverlining: I keep joking with my DH about that! Like, clearly Trump is secretly a diehard liberal, so he's just trying to make all his fellow "GOP candidates" look dumb for as long as possible before he's like, "JK, not running for president!"

    @Maysprout: Interesting, I could see that. It does seem like Rubio is kind of biding his time and not putting himself out there too much among all of the recent circus-like antics.

    @Truth Bombs: I agree that the whole story seems fishy to me.

    To much he said/she said...no idea what the whole truth is.

    Either way - he's a joke...but keep in mind there are plenty of people who may/will vote for him...hopefully another candidate comes out as the front runner between now and then. Plenty of voters will be willing to accept him rather than another democrat...its just the reality of the situation!

    I have a really hard time believing that there are enough people out there willing to vote for him, but the polls show he has some traction. I'm really hoping he loses the nomination, but decides to run as an independent so the Republican vote will be split.

    @mrs.shinerbock: I'm a fan of that outcome as well. And it makes me a little sad that there are so many people out there who do think that he's great.

    What the actual f*ck? How is he leading in the polls? I literally thought he was just a troll.

    There is nothing fishy here. The story originated in an article in the New York Times about how he has behaved under oath, in depositions and at trials.

    After three hours of questions, the attorney asked for a routine medical break. Trump's lawyers objected (for no reason). I am an attorney and breaks during deposition are frequent and normal. It was only after they objected that she said she needed to pump milk and showed them her breast pump. That's when he called her disgusting.

    This story has made me think of the feud with Rosie O'Donnell. Didn't he make some sexist remarks to her? Or if not sexist, definitely something rude or insulting. I don't recall the details.

    Ugh, at my office I'm surrounded by a bunch of guys who all talk politics and my former supervisor loves Trump! It's so awkward because I don't really like to talk politics at work much and think everyone should get to think what they want but then to hear all these Trump stories makes it even more awkward. Then I start to think do all my male co-workers feel this way about women and breast feeding or do they just like Trump because he's stirring up trouble?

    @Kittysunshine: It seems inappropriate to talk politics at work unless your work is political. Sorry you have to put up with that.

    @Mrs. Peanut: Thanks! It's nice to hear other people think it's crazy/inappropriate to talk about politics at work too! I try to assume that my co-workers don't really know what they're supporting and change the subject or avoid it when it comes up. I delayed TTC for such a long time due to my career...wish it was easier to do both instead of feeling like I have to pick one or the other!
