Manafort: Women will vote Trump because their husbands can't pay bills

[ehrnst]

Donald Trump will be able to draw more women to his side against Hillary Clinton because some women have husbands who "can't afford ... paying for the family bills," campaign chairman Paul Manafort said Thursday

Asked by MSNBC's Chris Matthews how the campaign would deal with its problem of women perceiving Trump's criticism as sexist, Manafort acknowledged that it is a challenge.

"But again, it depends which women you are talking about. Many women in this country feel they can't afford their lives, their husbands can't afford ... paying for the family bills," Manafort said. "Hillary Clinton is guilty of being part of the establishment that created that problem. They’re going to hear the message. And as they hear the message, that's how we will appeal to them."
Matthews then asked Manafort if he knew what he just said, that women are concerned about their husbands' income.
"I can speak personally to that," Manafort responded.

1. I guess, in Manafort's world, women don't work outside the home?

2. I can't believe someone actually said this in the year 2016.

4. Someone needs to explain to this ass carrot that these days ladies get to work

and make their own money. With their husband's permission and all

5. Can't any 'reporter' ask, "And just what will Trump do to

eliminate that fear and greatly increase the husband's wages?"

6. Oh please were making our own way in this world now.
