7. Trump was an inartful buffoon - but there is an easy angle to nail HRC using this concept...

Bluntly saying 'the woman card' is an idiotic attack.

But it is total fair game to say HRC rode the coattails of her husband to get anywhere near any of the jobs she has had post rose law firm. This is a valid line of attack and actually can work. It would work because Trump could hold up four dem women senators that got their own their own and were better than HRC when crucial decisions were there to be made.

Let's for one second be brutally honest - HRC doesn't become NY Senator without being Bill's wife.

She doesn't parlay that senate gig into a run for the WH or the SoS job (see how this builds like a pyramid going back to bill's wife).

This is why HRC has always been a flawed candidate for 'strong women going for big jobs'. She's been helped and aided all along the way.

That is fair game for trump to hammer. And it would be smart of him to hold up Boxer, Mikulski (the first woman senator whose husband or father wasn't a big time politician), Stabenow, and Murray as women that didn't need to cling to coattails to accomplish what they did AND had the judgement that HRC severely lacks/lacked (AUMF Iraq).
