I feel sure there are hundreds of thousands. But MOST won't write an editorial and submit it under their name to a MAJOR newspaper. And most won't change their party affiliation but won't vote for REPUBLICANS. (Remember, if these women are from ORANGE COUNTY, it bleeds red).
"The Brett Kavanaugh hearings and the GOPâs support for the now- Supreme Court justice that put her âover the edge.â

In two letters to the editor of the Los Angeles Times, longtime Republican-voting women explained why Donald Trump has led them to leave the party.
Eileen E. Padberg, a registered Republican of 53 years, wrote that although she considers herself âan active feminist,â she stuck with the GOP because she believed it was âthe party of individual rights and liberties, personal responsibility, limited government, free markets, a strong national defense and fiscal responsibility.â
âI hung on to my party registration although I didnât always vote a straight GOP ticket,â she wrote. âI hung on until I couldnât.â
Padberg noted that her Republican credentials âwould hold up to anyoneâ â she founders her collegeâs Young Republicans club, has been a delegate and an attendee at multiple Republican National Conventions and âwas the regional political director for George H.W. Bushâs campaign for president.â
The Brett Kavanaugh hearings and the GOPâs support for the now-Supreme Court justice that put her âover the edge.â
âWhen I heard the words coming from the Republican leadership and the president, that fine thread holding me to the GOP finally broke,â Padberg wrote. âI couldnât believe the disrespect for women I was hearing.â
Padberg acknowledged that sheâs not alone, that âsurely there are thousands of women across America who gave up on the Republican Party.â
