Donald Trump has set a big, fat trap for Hillary Clinton, and so far she has stepped right into it. He turned his attacks against women against her. She is, he argued, playing the “woman card.” And Clinton anted up, offering her supporters the chance to buy a “woman card.” From now until Nov. 8, Trump will surely continue to insult women. If Clinton routinely responds to those attacks, Trump will turn her into the “women’s candidate,” and she will lose. She is already perilously close to being that candidate.
Let’s be honest. Polling shows that Trump has a problem with women, but it also shows that Clinton has a problem with men. Thanks to Bernie Sanders’s pushing and prodding over the course of the primary, Clinton’s vision has expanded, but we all know its core: She is a battle-tested warrior for women and children.
Consider her slogan, “Fighting for us.” For many men, this slogan would have to be experienced as emasculating. A woman fighting for them? Rightly or wrongly, the slogan rubs the wrong way in relation to traditional notions of masculinity. Her slogan itself reveals a limited conception of who she seeks to represent. This is a potentially fatal flaw in Clinton’s campaign. The more that Clinton takes Trump’s bait around the issue of his denigration of women, the more powerfully this flaw in her own campaign will show itself.
Clinton needs to fix this problem, and fast. And she needs to avoid taking Trump’s bait.
here are important lessons to be learned from the many Republican candidates who rose to the bait and were decimated by Trump’s rhetoric. His monikers for them consistently had two effects: They pushed his foes off message and also forced them to fight on turf that Trump chose for them.

Trump has studied Sun Tzu
Trump will surely continue to insult women
______________________________________
As Katrina Pierson said recently, “Just because you criticize a woman does not mean you are insulting women!”
When exactly has Trump “insulted women?”
I think this would be a good strategy if Trump had not made himself so unpopular with women. All he has done is give credence to Hillary’s anti-male rants.

If link fails, go to YouTube and search Hillary Clinton Exposed.
I urge you to do so quickly. She had it banned in theaters and, now that she's running, it's just a matter of time before they lean on YouTube to chuck it down the Memory Hole!
The real trap is her using Bill and Barry to go out and campaign for her, which will appear as if the little woman can’t fight her own battles and must call on the men to defend her. “If she can’t handle Trump, she certainly can’t handle Putin” will certainly be a major theme of attack ads.
Hillary-dillary has never actually delivered anything more than lip service to any more then her paying customers (and rarely even then).
A "big, fat trap" for a big, fat felon! ;)
And now she has a bigger problem with males than he does with women.
I don’t know. The polls seem to show otherwise. But we’ll find out in November.
Here’s the real trap Trump is going to set for Hillary: she’s going to have to do far more media appearances than she ever dreamed of. Trump’s not going to change a thing, he’ll be on several channels a day, and we know Hillary won’t press for equal time...that’s the last thing she wants.
Good.point. Hillary reminds divorced men of their ex wives. And Hillary reminds many of their bitter nasty bitchy relatives whom they avoid at family gatherings.
I wonder if DJT will make a campaign commercial that includes her cackling and laughing about her getting off the rapist whose victim was a young teenage girl.
From now until Nov. 8, Trump will surely continue to insult women.The press can't help itself. The most dishonest people in the world.
If Mr. Trump criticizes, or even insults, both men and women, is that not considered equality?
I thought equality was what the feminists wanted....to be treated no differently because you’re a woman.
Perhaps they want it both ways, depending on what works in their favour.
“Trump’s not going to change a thing, he’ll be on several channels a day, and we know Hillary won’t press for equal time...that’s the last thing she wants.”
The fact is Hillary doesn’t have the physical stamina to keep up a media schedule like Trump can and does. One day on the stump for her puts her in bed for three or four. He will “air time” her to death, and the media will continue to cover him because he boosts their ratings.
Why would mothers with sons ever vote for Hillary?
Hillary and her Rat Marxist party have been busy making 2nd & 3rd class citizens out of their sons for years, if not murdering them at birth. The only women’s vote Hillary should get should be from radical leftist, self-absorbed, man and child-hating proponents of infanticide.
..........the most nauseating part of this WaPo article is the writer enjoining us “let’s be honest”......
How much do you suppose SoreAzz will have to pay the gibsmedatz to attend Hellary’s events, now that Trump’s massive rallies will be held up in comparison?
That’s a lot of paid peeps...to have to send to cheer Hellary AND to protest Trump. LOLOL.
