(CNN) -- When Donald Trump makes a bimbo reference or a recording emerges of the GOP front-runner critiquing women's physical appearances, Democrats add it to the arsenal.

"The most motivating thing for women voters would be to have Donald Trump as the nominee," said Marcy Stech, the communications director for EMILY's List, a Democratic political committee that supports pro-abortion rights women running for public office.

Hillary Clinton's allies are already compiling a record of Trump's crass comments and positions on women's issues, laying the groundwork for a potential general election battle against Clinton.

Her backers believe using Trump's own words against him -- not only about women, but also Muslims and Hispanics -- may prove to be one of their most powerful weapons.

Their options are hardly limited.

Over the years Trump has been a frequent guest on The Howard Stern Show -- comments that found renewed attention after BuzzFeed unearthed them. Over the years, Trump has ranked women's appearances on a scale of 1 to 10, once saying "a person who is flat-chested is very hard to be a 10."

He's also delved into his own sexual preferences and even bragged about women who flirted with him, saying "They'll walk up and they'll flip their top, and they'll flip their panties."

All of that came before Trump was a presidential candidate, and he brushed the remarks aside in an interview with CNN............................

she is not able to do some things that other candidates do with impunity and w/o a care! So some things we as supporters have to do for her: a way to balance, make it fair. Cannot all fall on her alone. Getting dirty with Trump! People who have endorsed her need to go all the way out!

She is a great at building coalitions. A great connector! She will build Democrats down the ballot. With her this is almost a guarantee.

Her candidacy is important to the country and the whole world actually. So we all should get down and do what needs to be done.

All together we can take Trump or Rubio or Cruz down! We can nullify the hate/divisiveness they are selling. This year these hateful clowns just make it so easy but still we cannot rest..
