Trump's Women Supporters Need to Come Out of Hiding
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Trump campaign has a message for its female supporters: It's time to come out of hiding.
"There's a lot of people that are fearful of expressing their support, and I want you ladies to know it's OK to have felt that way, but we need to move past that or the Democrats win," said Tana Goertz, a Trump campaign adviser, at an Iowa "Women for Trump" event on Thursday.

The polls showing low support of Trump by women are fake news. The polls are wrong because, as has always been the way with Trump, a lot of women say no when they really mean yes.
Trump himself called into a gathering of hundreds in Tampa, Florida, and insisted, to cheers: “We’re doing great with women, despite the fake news.”
But polling suggests his challenges persist. The most recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll found just 30% of women approve of the way the president is doing his job, compared to 42% of men. Notably, there was no gap between Republican men and women — 80% of both groups said they approved of his job performance in the August poll.
There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.
