Christine Matthews, a longtime Republican strategist whose work focuses on*convincing other women to vote Republican (http://www.burningglassconsulting.com/about/), felt good about her party's progress with female voters after the 2014 midterm elections.
Republicans added women to their ranks in the House and Senate, and even defeated a Democratic senator in Colorado who had made the so-called "war on women" the hallmark issue of his campaign.
But two years later, as GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump continually makes misogynistic comments (http://mashable.com/2016/03/24/donald-trump-ted-cruz-wives/) on the trail, Matthews*said she feels any progress made with women has been erased.*
