Could gender be a decisive factor in a general election match-up between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton?
“You know, she’s playing the woman’s card,” Trump told supporters at a rally in Spokane, Wash., over the weekend, reiterating a critique he’s used against Clinton since becoming the de facto presidential nominee for the Republican party. “If she didn’t play the woman’s card she would have no chance, I mean zero, of winning.”
But, some experts see Trump’s comments about women as a veiled warning for men.
The gender gap in American politics is nothing new; men and women often don’t see eye to eye when they vote.
“In every presidential election since 1980, women have been more likely than men to support the Democratic candidate,” said Jennifer Lawless, the director of the Women and Politics Institute at American University.
