Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign is selling “woman cards” to supporters following remarks made by her potential Republican rival Donald Trump. Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich are mathematically eliminated from securing the nomination before the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio this July, but are hoping to deny Trump his goal and force a brokered convention instead.

“I think Hillary Clinton is playing the experience card”, she said.
Donald Trump mused Wednesday he doesn’t like the way Hillary Clinton “shouts” her message about women’s issues, lamenting that he’ll “have to get used to a lot of that” over the course of the presidential race.
Sanders took Rhode Island, vowing to fight to the end of the nomination process.
The business mogul said that Clinton is using her gender to pander to the electorate, and that the “woman card” just “may be enough” for her.
“She is playing the woman’s card”, Mr. Trump said on NBC’s “Today” program.
“Super Tuesday 3” – another key day of primaries that saw five states in the northeastern USA heading to the polls – drew to a close with two figures casting their shadows over their opponents.
Its 57 delegates may be critical if party insiders – many of whom believe Republicans would suffer a crushing defeat against Clinton if Trump is their nominee – are to force a contested convention.
“Donald and Melania are friends”, she said on Fox News a year ago. “If she were a man, and she was the way she is, she would get virtually no votes”.
On the Democratic side, Clinton’s supporters were looking to the night to produce enough victories to make the case to rival Bernie Sanders that his quest for the nomination is not just a longshot, but implausible given the delegate count.
Speaking at a victory rally in the lobby of Trump Tower in NY, he said: “It’s over”.
Her only loss of the night was to Sanders in Rhode Island.
