Whether they leave the party or stay, anti-Trump conservative women are likely to find the GOP a less welcoming place than they once did. Republican women who believe Trump’s words and actions disqualify him from the presidency must live with the reality that most Republicans don’t agree.

“I think it has become a hostile party for women who don’t buy into whatever Trump is selling,” Lewis said. “If you’re a Republican woman who can completely dismiss his misogyny, or look the other way, then there’s absolutely a place for you. But if you aren’t able to accept it, then the Republican Party has become a hostile place.”

There were plenty of high-profile Republicans who spoke out against Trump during his presidential campaign. GOP national security experts argued that his temperament and lack of foreign policy expertise would put the country in jeopardy. Others suggested that Trump should not be considered a true conservative, that he supports big government and does not respect the Constitution.

For some anti-Trump Republican women, though, it has been particularly painful to see their party elect a candidate who dismissed his own caught-on-tape boasts of grabbing women “by the pussy” as “locker room talk,” and who suggested that some of the women who accused him of sexual assault during his campaign weren’t attractive enough to be believed.

“It was like women weren’t important enough to stand up for,” said Veronica Molina, a 37-year old from Texas who describes herself as a long-time Republican voter. “Trump was so disrespectful toward women, but that wasn’t important enough to change people’s minds. I thought it should have been.”

Trump’s indication that he would appoint Supreme Court justices who will overturn overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision protecting a woman’s legal right to abortion, has also alarmed some conservative women.

“I don’t believe in abortion and I would probably try to talk anyone I knew out of it if they came to me for advice, but if someone decides that’s what they want to do, I want them to have a safe way of doing it,” said 57-year old Elisa Heredia Reese from Orange County, California. Though Reese “remains pretty much a conservative at heart,” she plans to register as an Independent because she believes the Republican Party let her down by supporting Trump.

While a majority of women voted for Hillary Clinton, Trump won over 53 percent of white women. But Clinton still appears to have been successful in convincing some women who had voted Republican in past elections to vote for her: She won a majority of college-educated white women by a narrow margin—despite the fact that Mitt Romney won that group of voters in the 2012 election by 52 percent.

If more conservative or Republican-leaning women feel alienated by Trump over the next four years, the Democratic Party will have an opportunity to expand its reach, especially if it can make the case to disenchanted Republicans that Democrats represent their values better.
