Donald Trump has accused Hillary Clinton of playing "the woman's card" before, but never was he as blunt as he was on Tuesday night while answering questions from reporters following his rash of major primary victories across the Northeast.
"Well, I think the only card she has is the woman's card," Trump said. "She's got nothing else going on. And frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the women's vote."
