In an interview Thursday with the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trumps-appeal-stretches-to-suburbs-that-had-been-trending-blue/2016/05/17/4c640c60-1b7b-11e6-b6e0-c53b7ef63b45%5Fstory.html), former Pennsylvania governor [Ed Rendell](http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/05/ed-rendell-trump-ugly-women-united.html) discussed Republican frontrunner Donald Trump’s success with voters. While the candidate has seen massive success in suburban areas, Rendell said: “For every one \[Democrat in certain areas of Pennsylvania\], he’ll lose one and a half, two Republican women. Trump’s comments like, ‘You can’t be a 10 if you’re flat-chested,’ that’ll come back to haunt him.” He then followed up with this thought: “There are probably more ugly women in America than attractive women. People take that stuff personally.” [_Follow Motto on Facebook_](https://www.facebook.com/mottoworkplaylive/)_._ This quote is particularly cringe-worthy considering that Rendell is a [superdelegate](https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/sanders-faces-tough-sell-in-persuading-superdelegates-to-switch-allegiances/2016/05/04/a5911d32-1135-11e6-81b4-581a5c4c42df%5Fstory.html) backing Hillary Clinton.
