Trump attacks Clinton on gender, risking backlash from women

WASHINGTON | By Doina Chiacu and Megan Cassella

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump waded into politically risky territory this week when he accused Democrat Hillary Clinton of exploiting her gender to win votes and said she would have little support if she were not a woman.

Trump's remarks, reaching into an area of gender attacks that is conventionally seen as off-limits, energized Democrats. "Keep talking, Donald Trump," Democratic Committee National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz told CNN on Wednesday. "Every single day when Donald Trump opens his mouth, he does more to alienate women."

"Donald has a problem with strong women," Cruz, 45, told reporters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, before a rally. "This is not subtle, it's not complicated."

U.S. Democratic Senator Barbara Boxer, who fended off a 2010 Senate challenge from Fiorina, said Trump is insulting all women when he attacks Clinton and other prominent women, such as Kelly, in this way. "Either Trump has spent too much time in his Trump Tower and has no clue about what’s happening, or he truly dislikes women and are quite threatened by them," Boxer said on MSNBC.

A Reuters/Ipsos poll this month showed a big gender gap in opinions about Trump. About two-thirds of women had an unfavourable view of the billionaire businessman and former reality TV star, while 54 percent of men had a negative view of him.
