Donald Trump repeatedly calls Hillary Clinton 'shrill' while addressing sexism allegations: (HRC)

HILLARY SUPPORTERS GROUP post:

Trump, the Republican presidential front-runner, made that accusation after claiming that he got called sexist for attacking the business record of one of his GOP rivals, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina.

"What's sexist about it? I respect women more than I respect men. Are the men insulted by that, by the way?" Trump asked his audience. "See, they all say 'no.'"

Trump then quickly pivoted to Clinton, the Democratic front-runner who once chided him for saying "I cherish women" instead of "I respect women." Trump labeled that comment "shrill," an adjective that critics say is frequently used to diminish female leaders.

"And I cherish women. Hillary Clinton said, 'You shouldn't cherish women.' I said, 'I do cherish women. I love women!' My mother was like the greatest woman I ever met. The greatest!" Trump said. "And Hillary, who's become very shrill. You know the word shrill? She's become shrill."...

I don't understand the ugliness. It doesn't help. The louder and ruder people get, the more they hurt their candidate. We know people by the company they keep, after all.

Too late Donald, your poll numbers are sinking and I doubt that Hillary will bother to give you an inch of press!
