Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump defended his woman’s card attack Sunday against Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton, saying that he was his own strategist when it came to using the line.
Fox News host Chris Wallace shared with Trump a poll that showed 75 percent of women thought he was unfavorable. Wallace continued, and noted that Trump said Clinton was playing the “woman’s card” in her campaign.
“Now, I have to tell you strategists in both parties say if you consciously went about it, if you specifically planned you couldn’t have said anything that would drive your numbers among women even lower,” Wallace said.
“Really? OK,” Trump replied. “Well, I’m my own strategist and I like that — what I said and it’s true. I only tell the truth and that’s why people voted for me.”
Earlier in the interview, Wallace shared with Trump a poll that showed 81 percent of Hispanic voters had an unfavorable view toward him.
“I don’t have to tell you, you cannot win in November with those numbers,” Wallace told The Donald.
Trump responded and said that the numbers would go “way up once I start going.”
Trump is right - once he “starts going” 90%+ of them will have an unfavorable view of him.
Beat me to it
Trump’s primary strategy now is to find a good way to justify losing in November, so that even if he loses he won’t be branded a loser. It won’t be his fault he lost, it will be because Clinton is a woman, or whatever other justification he comes up with. His followers will agree and happily buy Trump Steaks, Trump Water, and attend Trump U. Winning!
“Proceed…”
The Donald’s favorability rating will peak once he is gone. Then he can brag about being the biggest loser in Presidential history!
