“Well if fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman’s card, then deal me in”, Clinton said.

“I will be the last to use it. I will not be a happy trigger like some people might be”, Trump said, taking a veiled jab at GOP rival Ted Cruz and his call to “carpet bomb” ISIS. “And the lovely thing is that women don’t like her, OK?”
Mr Trump emerged with more than 50% of the Republican votes in Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland, and scored over 60% in DE and Rhode Island. She took 51.2 percent of the vote in Northampton County and 52.3 percent in Lehigh, according to unofficial returns. “I applaud Sen. Sanders and his millions of supporters for challenging us to get unaccountable money out of politics and putting greater emphasis to closing the gap of inequality”, she said.
After a five-primary victory on Tuesday night, Donald Trump took time during a Q&A with journalists to take a jab at Hillary Clinton.
After Clinton’s response to Trump, the Clinton campaign chose to sell actual “woman cards” for $1.
The primary season continues through June.
But after Tuesday night’s poor showing overall, the question is whether Cruz can keep Trump from getting the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination outright.
The Cruz and John Kasich pact has so far failed to stop Trump in Indiana. This is the new “presidential” Donald Trump, a.k.a. the boring Donald Trump. Kasich came second in four of the five States but ha s only five delegates. As everyone knows, historically speaking, being a woman super helps you get elected as president.
Mr Sanders, meanwhile, conceded he has a “very narrow path and we’re going to have to win some big victories”.
“I hoped you were going to ask me if I thought he was a sexist”, said the Democratic senator, who recently had her own back-and-forth with Trump.

Advisers to Sanders, the first Jewish candidate to win major nominating contests, have said in recent days that the campaign would “reassess” how to go forward following the Tuesday contests, though they maintained that Sanders would remain in the race until the party convention this summer.
