Chozick and Parker of the NYT show how Donald Trump's frequent sexist comments on women and references to Hillary Clinton in similiar terms are likely to influence the outcome of the general election of 2016. The women's vote has played a significant part in the recent elections of 2008 and 2012 helping Democratic candidate Obama. Trump has a astonishingly high disapproval rating with women, unprecedented in U.S. election history, cited by the WSJ as 75%. Cruz's choice of Carly Fiorina as a running mate shows an awareness of the importance of the women's vote. Some of the comments cited here include the Trump comment that "if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she would get 5% of the vote." It is not clear if this will help the Republican party, as such comments could alienate the mass base of women voters, including the base of young women voters who supported Sanders, women who are independents and moderate Republican women. Hillary Clinton is carefully planning a fall campaign in which such Trump attacks are expected, and the response will be handled not directly by Hillary but by Super PAC's, as Hillary sticks to calling them sexist and energizing her base from the attacks. CBS polls show Trump has the support of 39 percent of white women, compared to 50% for Hillary Clinton. Trump's attacks on women are strangely enough targeted at getting the support of white women- and men - in another wild twist of the 2016 campaign.

Are women also concerned about the economy, bread and butter issues, children and the future, or has the Republican party failed to talk directly to women.

Why Hillary Clinton lags behind with younger women by as much as 30 points with Sanders

04/11/2016

Older women have experienced child care issues and sexism in their lives more so than younger women. Younger women who have experienced child care issues and sexism also vote like older women. Clinton has done better with such voters. Younger women tend to carefully study the issues and make choices without going by gender in making choices. It is astounding but overall Hillary Clinton lags behind among younger voters by 60 points according to this WP article.
