Last week, Donald Trump made the idiotic statement that if Hillary Clinton were a man, she’d only get “5% of the vote,” saying “the only thing she’s got going is the woman’s card.” We’ve already been over all the things your Woman Card can get you (in short, about 77% the frequent flyer miles a Man Card can!), and Hillary Clinton herself responded to the ludicrous comment perfectly.
Caught your speech, @realDonaldTrump. About that "woman's card"…https://t.co/kKaHWISchy

Then her campaign took the idea a step further by issuing ACTUAL WOMAN CARDS to donors.

That’s pure brilliance. I got one immediately. And while my $10 was only a tiny drop in the bucket, we now have an idea of just how big that bucket was. And it was huge.
The Clinton campaign says it raised $2.4m off of Trump's "women's card" remark.

$2.4 million! So playing your Woman Card actually can lead to big wins. I guess Trump was right after all.
