This Week in Trump: Donald's Female Trouble

WNYC News | Mar 18, 2016

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll says that half of U.S. women have a "very unfavorable" view of the candidate. It may be worrying news for the Trump campaign as they begin to think ahead to a general election. But the findings can't be surprising.

This is a guy who has openly referred to women as fat pigs, dogs and slobs - all of which was pointed out by moderator Megyn Kelly in the first Fox News debate. Trump later accused her of having blood coming out of her eyes... or her "wherever," and recently tweeted that she was "crazy."

We're joined by columnist Michael Musto who brings us back to Trump's rise in the 1980's - and remembers the tabloid bonanza of his first divorce.

Also:

Franchesca Ramsey, writer and contributor on The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, notes that there are plenty of women at Trump rallies. Speaking with host David Furst she wonders if the way Trump talks about them will ever hurt his support.
