Hillary Clinton tries the gender card in dispute with Trump

While the other Republican candidates tread carefully to avoid antagonizing Mr. Trump’s supporters, for Mrs. Clinton, hitting hard appears relatively risk-free.
The risk for Clinton is that she will come off as whiny.  The perceived insult appears to be a term used in New York to describe someone who has been beaten badly in an election and was used by NPR to describe the Mondale-Ferraro loss to Reagan.  As a world leader is she going to whine every time someone criticizes her?

As I keep reminding people, I am not a Trump supporter, but he has shown a knack for provoking these kind of responses from opponents and usually to the detriment of his targets.  It looks like she is making the same mistake.  So far, Ted Cruz has been the most adept at handling the Trump attacks.

BTW, she seems to have a problem attracting women voters.  I don't see this as helping er outside of the feminist realm.
