Chris Christie says his wife was not rolling her eyes at Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump when he said Hillary Clinton would not win so many votes if she were a man. These women are the “dogs”, “slobs” and “fat pigs” of Trump’s world, with a special status reserved for females who challenge him: cue the insults he directed at his former GOP rival Carly Fiorina, and at Fox journalist Megyn Kelly after she asked him tough questions in a 2015 GOP debate.

While Trump’s main concerns seem to be keeping Mexicans and Muslims out of America and sticking it to China, Clinton is actually listening to Americans about their concerns – and perhaps because she’s been blessed with that oh-so-valuable woman card, she’s happened to notice that half of USA citizens are women, and have “womanly” concerns, namely that they want to be safe, get paid, and maybe get an education without starving. And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get five percent of the vote. “I’ll do far more for women than Hillary Clinton will do”. “And the handsome thing is that women don’t like her”.
Donald Trump made a comment about Hillary Clinton’s gender in his victory speech Tuesday night.
The New York businessman also defended his comment that Clinton is playing the “woman card” to get elected as president.
Clinton’s camp already is planning its counterpunch attack after the “woman card” remarks (no doubt using the Christie’s facial expressions as part of it).
Certainly there are male politicians who center women and girls in their advocacy, but none quite the way Hillary has.
But he didn’t stay long as he had to dash across town just in time for his victory speech at Trump Tower.
Still, that’s pretty good compared to what women think of Donald Trump. And just as ignorant of the fact that one can not wrench a woman’s womanhood from her personhood.

So, what do you do to start winning back the women’s vote? “I know a lot of people would say you can’t say that about a woman”, he added, “because of course a woman doesn’t shout”. Sanders is the only person who I think would characterize me, a woman running to be the first woman president, as exemplifying the establishment.
