Donald Trump attacked Hillary Clinton on what could be the most personal level yet, calling her an “enabler” of Bill Clinton’s infidelity last week and doubling down on these remarks Monday.
“But nobody in this country, and maybe in the history of the country politically, was worse than Bill Clinton with women. He was a disaster,” the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee said at a rally in Oregon last week. “I mean, there’s never been anybody like this. And she was a total enabler. She would go after these women and destroy their lives. I mean have you ever read with Hillary Clinton did to the women that Bill Clinton had affairs with And they’re going after me with women Give me a break, folks.”
Trump’s poll numbers with women have been on the decline for months. According to a YouGov survey released at the end of April, Trump’s unfavorable rating with women is at 60 percent — compared to 45 percent in January. And a CNN poll released on May 4 found that 61 percent of female registered voters would support Clinton over Trump. 51 percent of women said they have a favorable view of Clinton, with just 32 percent saying they have a favorable view of Trump.
