McGhee: Trump’s Sexist Comments Reflect GOP’s ‘Institutional Bias Against Women’

‘You look at their vision of a health care system that excludes reproductive care’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

TODD: What should the other candidates do? What do you think? Did you think what Jeb Bush did yesterday, you know what, you may not support Jeb Bush but that's what he should do?" 
McGHEE: "I think it's important to remember that a Republican presidential nominee hasn't won women since 1988 so this is a very deep problem with the party. It's not going to be enough for anyone, a commentator or one of the candidates to just disavow trump's sort of interpersonal sexist comments because what we know about a bias against women or anyone else is that it operates at a bunch of different levels. You've got the interpersonal stuff which is easy to bat away. It makes for good commentary. But the right has a problem with institutional bias against women. You look at their vision of a health care system that excludes reproductive care. Structural bias against women, looking at the economy that they want. Low wage workers who the majority of whom are women are staying in poverty."
