Donald Trump has a long history of making insulting, objectifying, and sometimes threatening comments about women, which is likely part of why his numbers with that particular half of the population are exceptionally terrible — a recent PRRI/Atlantic poll showed Clinton up 33 points on Trump with female voters.
But not all women think that Trump's recently released tape, in which he vulgarly brags about groping women, is something to be concerned about. As CNN found in an interview with a group of Trump-supporting women voters, quite a few simply see the tape as "a man being a man in a men's world talking to men."
