I don't see, but that's why you're calling it chess-- b/c if you're right Trump sees it and casual observers like me don't see it yet. Far weirder things happen on a regular basis in politics.

There is a substantial difference, however, between being a charlatan who persuades enough idiots to vote for her and a real woman, which was my original point.

And I actually think that all of the above will and do matter to voters. What Trump did was invite her to play the card so he can come back with the rebuttal.

If there's some clear video recording or some evidence that lends itself to soundbites that proves even one of those claims, it will work for her opponents. If the evidence requires digging into documents, it won't matter.

Hillary was the one who orchestrated the personal attacks not only against Juanita Broderick and Kathleen Willey, but the smears against Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr as well. Hillary is the chief supporter/enabler of her husband's history of attacks on women which include everything from sexual harassment to exploitation to rape.
In Hillary's early days, she defended a rapist in court knowing that he was guilty and laughed about getting him acquitted to the victim.
Hillary has taken millions in donations from Islamic nations - nations that treat women as anything but equals.

If you want to call that a woman card, I think you've got your definitions more than a little mixed up.

A woman to me is someone who isn't playing the race card or the woman card because they don't need to. Hillary tries to play it because her actual performance has been by any objective measure a demonstrable catastrophe.

It sounds like children bickering to me. But assuming we are that level, it seems like her woman card is pretty strong. Her husband's record of womanizing won't necessarily hurt her and could help her. The only way I see it not working this way if the whole identity/minority group thing becomes absurd or unimportant in the minds of swing voters. That will happen eventually but not for decades.
