Hillary Clinton
Abandons ‘Woman Card’ — on Recommendation from Emily’s List
by Alex Swoyer 24 May 2016Washington, DC
Hillary Clinton has
stopped “explicitly mentioning” that she would be the first woman president
less than one month after Donald Trump first accused her campaign of “playing
the woman card.”
A research report completed by Emily’s List, which is a
Democratic organization that supports female candidates for abortion
rights, suggests the likely Democratic nominee should “de-emphasize the ‘first’
talk” in reference to being the first woman on top of a political party’s
ticket and possibly the first woman president.
“They already know she’d be the first woman president,”
the report stated, referencing donors, adding, “But we don’t get anything by
reminding them.”
According to the Associated
Press, speaking about being the first female president was not
benefiting the candidate.
“Clinton has stopped explicitly mentioning her role in
history and joking about being the “youngest woman president.” That’s by
design: Those kinds of direct appeals weren’t working with voters,” reports the
Associated Press.
“Hillary Clinton has been through a lot of fires in her
life and her career,” Emily’s List president Stephanie Schriock stated.
In late April, now-presumptive Republican nominee Donald
Trump accused Clinton of playing the “woman card” to distract from her poor
record in the Senate and Obama’s State Department. At first, Clinton agreed and
amplified Trump’s attack, using the slogan “Deal Me In” and
distributing a physical “Woman
Card”
to supporters. However, it appears that the data from Emily’s List has forced
her to soften this approach.
