Donald Trump has already defied the rules of political campaigns, which is why he will almost certainly face no repercussions from defying a basic principle of running against a female candidate: Keep the sexism subtle.
When Hillary Clinton ran for Senate in 2000, it was enough for her opponent Rick Lazio to cross the debate and wag a finger at her for him to be successfully portrayed as a sexist bully. Today, after Trump said Clinton had been “schlonged” by Barack Obama in the 2008 race, those seem like innocent times.
With this most recent round, not only has Trump rendered the dog-whistle a bellow, he will likely even benefit from it.
