Using businessman Donald Trump’s “degradation of women” against him is a top strategy of super PACs working on behalf of Hillary Clinton, as they compile a dossier of sexist statements and Trump business practices that could be used against him in the general election.
Crude or sexist comments about women are part of the reason that women are supporting his Republican candidacy at lower rates than men, and provide an opening for Democrats, writer and advocate David Brock planned to tell Democratic audiences Saturday.
“Should Trump be the Republican nominee, the prospect of a record-setting gender gap is, well, huuuge,” Brock was to say Saturday in two speeches in Arizona. “In fact, a Hillary versus Trump race will likely produce the biggest gender gap in the history of modern American politics.”…
Moderate Republican women and independents would be a key audience for the message that Trump has a demonstrated history of sexism and hostility toward causes and policies important to women, including paid family leave and equal pay. But Brock’s remarks Saturday are aimed at rallying Democratic women behind Clinton as she works to secure the Democratic nomination.
