GRAHAM, N.C. — As Haley fights an increasingly improbable battle to stop Trump’s march toward the Republican nomination, one voter told NBC News yesterday that he’d never considered voting for the former governor and U.N. ambassador “because she??s female.”

“All a woman’s good for in my book is having babies and taking care of the house,” North Carolina voter Emmett Martin said during an interview with NBC News, adding “but I’m old school.

"Don’t take me wrong,” Martin continued, “females know what they’re doing, but they still got to have a little bit of guidance.”

Martin said Trump will keep his support today, pointing to the former president’s economic policies. “He’s pretty good guy, seems to know what he’s doing,” Martin said. “He’s helped the economy out, we had more jobs, we made more money, we didn’t have as much taxes-- things were a whole lot better when he was our president.”

But I can point out the excuse that was use to justify calling it that:

" rarely is it said this explicitly and in front of a camera."

astronauts, doctors, lawyers, engineers, soldiers, cops, political leaders, etc really needed his guidance on anything at all?

What kind of guidance is this miserable waste of human protoplasm in any kind of position to offer?

Shit.
