“If Hillary Clinton were a man, I don’t think she’d get 5 percent of the vote”, Trump said of a woman who happens to have been, among other things, secretary of state and a twice-elected US senator from NY.
I mean, she is playing the woman’s card. “Well, if fighting for women’s health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in”.
Trump’s remarks prompted social media hashtags like #dealmein and #womancard, the latter ranking among the top 10 global trending topics on Twitter Wednesday, with more than 45,000 tweets by late afternoon.

Richardson, who unsuccessfully sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, said Hillary Clinton is the pro-business candidate who can win the White House in 2016.

Fat Pig, ” the ad begins, with later references to Trump critiquing “flat-chested” women and referring to “a young and handsome piece of a-” and a woman “dropping to your knees”.

Cruz, who’s aiming to topple Trump at the Cleveland gathering, implicitly emphasized the front-runner’s turbulent relationships with women Wednesday as he tapped former candidate Carly Fiorina as his would-be running mate, praising her as someone who has “over and over. shattered glass ceilings”.

However, according to the same poll, 70 percent of women have an unfavorable view of Trump (as do 58 percent of men), for a net favorability rating of negative-47.
