Reporter good afternoon rick, on twitter today, donald trump is accusing Hillary Clinton of playing a quote, war on women card. Donald trump now blames the Mainstream Media for mischaracterizing the way he described clintons loss in 2008. He claims the term he used was not vulgar but Hillary Clintons Campaign Calls it degrading language and disgusting slurs. He called the frontrunner a bully. You are looking at someone that has a lot of terrible things said about me and its important to stand up to bullies wherever they are and why we shouldnt let anyone bully their way into the presidency. Despite trumps rhetoric, a poll shows he maintains his commanding lead in the republican race. The last time was 1999 when george w. Bush went on to win the nomination. A precedent that boded well for trump. I think he has more than a legitimate chance to win the nominee. But polls show trump will likely have a harder time in the general election and something that his rivals home they will consider. Its not a sign of strength to insult people with profanity, we are a few days before christmas lighten up man. 50 of likely Republican Voters think they have a better chance of winning the general election with someone other than trump.
