House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who previously served as a the first female speaker of the House, laughed off comments made by Donald Trump earlier this week that Hillary Clinton was playing a “woman card.”
“I don’t know what card he’s playing, what, the joker card?” Pelosi said at her press conference Friday, when asked to weigh in on Trump’s remarks. “That doesn’t even count in a deck of cards.”
Pelosi continued that asking someone to vote for you because you are a woman is “not a winning message.”
“The winning message is, you should support me because I think I can do the best job and here is what I can do and I think that’s what Hillary Clinton is presenting,” she said.
Pelosi reiterated that she has not endorsed either candidate in the Democratic primary and praised Bernie Sanders for the young supporters he was bringing into the election.
“It would be a wonderful, glorious thing to have a woman president of the United States, but that is not the credential to be elected or to have the confidence of the American people,” Pelosi said.
“I think Hillary Clinton is playing the experience card,” she later added.
“I don’t know what card he’s playing, what, the joker card?”
The arch criminal “The Joker”…as played by Jack Nicholson or Heath Ledger? I’m going with the latter…
I think Trump playing the “woman card” is his effort to create an excuse for why he will lose the general. He’ll play up that Clinton is a woman, and after she kicks his ass, he’ll claim that he had no chance because of the woman card. Of course it is idiotic to claim that, but his followers will believe it. Then Trump can happily sell Trump Steaks, Trump Wine, Trump Water, Trump U, etc, because he’ll claim he would have easily won if not for the fact that Hillary is female.
With much due respect, Rep. Pelosi, I believe Donald is playing with a deck of Tarot cards – and Donald is Death.
More and more, I think that Trump really didn’t expect to be getting such ridiculous levels of support. He’s like the dog who caught the car and doesn’t know what to do next.
Good one, Nancy.
But also accurate: as a bullshit artist, Trump will say anything, especially what he thinks you want to hear.
