Donald Trump's campaign manager Kellyanne Conway attempted to knock Hillary Clinton's support with women during a Tuesday night interview with Fox News host Megyn Kelly — but her efforts ended up backfiring big time.

Kelly wasted no time reminding Conway that Trump was faring far, far worse with women in the polls. "She is beating Donald Trump by some 20 points with women," Kelly said. "I mean, why is Donald Trump at 32 percent?"
