Danielle Paquette, Washington Post – August 17, 2016

Last month, I spoke to Conway over lunch after she wrapped an interview with Katie Couric about how Trump will appeal to female voters — a demographic that national polls show generally and dramatically dislikes him. (All year long, at least 65 percent of women surveyed in The Washington Post-ABC polls have reported an “unfavorable” view of Trump.) The interview revealed how, exactly, Conway counsels Trump. She described a delicate dance: You can’t just tell Trump what to do, she said. Commands could insult him.

Donald Trump told WKRC that he’s “working very hard on the whole situation with women and I think I’m doing really well.” He explained why he believed he hadn’t done well with women voters: “I’ve had a lot of fun in life and I also worked very hard and I was never going to be a politician and I decided to be a politician. Over my life I joke and I do entertainment and I’ll do shows with wild man Howard Stern – who’s actually a decent person – and we’ll have fun and you’re never thinking you’re running for office or anything like that.”

Nick Levine, Refinery 29 – July 3, 2016

When asked by the Sunday Times if she thinks her father is a feminist, Ivanka Trump replied: “I do, yes and it’s a big reason I am the woman I am today. He always told me and showed me that I could do anything I set my mind to if I married vision and passion with work ethic. He’s also surrounded me with strong female role models who have done just that since I was a little girl.”

It is clear campus sexual assault continues to be a serious problem. And I’ve said before and I will continue to say it is not enough to condemn it. We must find ways to end it.”

In a brief but at times introspective interview, Mrs. Clinton said that although other countries have been led by women, such a milestone would be different were it to happen in the United States. She called the demands of the American political system more personally grueling and difficult.

There is “no doubt” that Donald Trump has used controversial language with respect to women, Megyn Kelly said Monday, even as a New York Times story examining the presumptive Republican nominee’s treatment of women drew a sharp rebuke from one of its most prominent sources. “This is one of the intriguing things about Donald Trump.

Isaac Arnsdorf, Politico – May 15, 2016

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus passed off questions about Donald Trump’s behavior toward women to the presumptive nominee himself. “These are things that he’s going to have to answer for,” Priebus said Sunday morning on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos.” “I don’t think Donald Trump is being judged based on his personal life. I think people are judging Donald Trump as to whether or not he’s someone that’s going to go to Washington and shake things up. And that’s why he’s doing so well.”
