Hillary Clinton's campaign is now passing out literal 'woman cards'
If you've ever wanted to play an actual "woman card," Hillary Clinton is now passing them out. In exchange for a donation to the Democratic presidential frontrunner's campaign, she's offering a little gift in return that takes a jab at Donald Trump, who slammed Clinton earlier this week for relying on her figurative "woman card."
"We've been hearing from supporters all over the country that they'd like a 'woman card' of their very own — to display proudly on a fridge or pull out of their wallet every time they run into someone who says women who support Hillary must not be using our brains (that's a real thing Donald Trump's senior adviser said yesterday)," Clinton's Women's Outreach Director Mini Timmaraju said in an email sent out to supporters Thursday.
The hot pink card, which somewhat resembles a New York City subway pass, congratulates women for being in the majority and bears the tagline "deal me in," from Clinton's response to Trump's attacks: "If fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal play is playing the 'woman card,' then deal me in!"

Though the cards don't have any actual retail value, Timmaraju says that doesn't mean it's not a good investment. "Every dollar will make sure Donald Trump never becomes president," she said.
