TRUMP'S VULGARITY TURNS WOMEN TO CLINTON|川普性騷言行惹議 婦女票流向希拉蕊

The 2016 election in the United States sees the first female candidate nominated by a major political party. And the gender dynamics between a female and male candidate have brought forth a wide range of gender issues. If Hillary Clinton is to win the presidency, her election will certainly send a very inspiring message to women around the world. So far in this election, Clinton has time and again highlighted her focus on women's issues and on her determination to do more for women. And her promise has found resonance in many American women. In contrast, Donald Trump, with his inadequate policy attention paid to women's issues and his vulgar remarks and sexual harassment scandals--all of this hasn't really helped him with female voters. According to several polls, while Trump might poll better among men, especially the white male, he is a lot worse among female voters. Veronica lives in a republican stronghold in Virginia. For all her life, she has been a firm republican supporter, until this election. ==VERONICA BROWN, Republican Registered Voter in Virginia== I as a woman cannot support someone who says such terrible things about women and terrible things about minorities. Not long ago, a video where Trump vulgarly boasted how he could do whatever he wanted to women shocked the entire country, and the scandal forced several republican heavyweights to distance themselves from him. Shortly after, more than a dozen women publicly accused Trump of sexual harassment and of forcing himself onto them. Many believe this to indicate that Trump's so-called locker-room talk is, after all, more than just talk. A poll shows that Clinton's lead against Trump has widened to 15% among female voters. ==DONALD TRUMP, Republican candidate(Oct. 2016)== All of these liars will be sued after the election is over. ==DANNY HAYES, Associate Prof. of Poli-sci, George Washington Uni.== I suspect that where the increase in the size of the gender gap is coming from is independent women, some of whom might have in other elections voted for a republican candidate, who probably find themselves having a hard time imagining themselves casting a ballot for Trump. Since the 1980s, American women tend to support the Democrats over the Republicans, but the disparity is even greater this time around. As the first female candidate nominated by a major American political party, Hilary Clinton has been proactively targeting female voters. ==HILLARY CLINTON, Democratic candidate(Apr. 2016)== If fighting for women's health care and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card then deal me in. But some women still support Trump. They say he's been treated unfairly by the media. ==KATHY JENNESS, Trump supporter== He treats women very well and the media lies and says he doesn't but that's not true. According to a poll conducted this month, if only women voted, Hilary Clinton would win by a landslide and take home 450 electoral votes out of 538. Political analysts point out that Trump's inadequate policy attention to women's issues, as well as his vulgar and degrading remarks have alienated most of America's female population. However, many men, especially white males easily find themselves identifying with Trump's tough-guy rhetoric's and image. The result is that among men, Trump is polling ahead of Clinton by 12%. It remains to be seen whether the United States is ready to elect its first female president. TRANSLATED BY：JEFF CHANG 家住共和黨鐵票區，維吉尼亞州的維若妮卡，從小就是共和黨堅定支持者，但這次總統大選她票投希拉蕊。 ==維州共和黨登記選民 維若妮卡 布朗== 我身為女性 無法支持對女性言論如此粗鄙 對弱勢族群講話這麼難聽的人 競選過程中，一段2005年川普吹噓自己能對女性為所欲為的錄音曝光，震驚全國，已經導致共和黨內分裂，許多人跟川普劃清界線。之後又有十幾位女性出面，指控川普強吻亂摸性騷擾，顯示川普宣稱只是更衣室對話的內容，不只說說而已。希拉蕊在婦女票領先幅度擴大，已經勝過川普15%。 ==共和黨總統候選人 川普(2016.10)== 等到選舉結束 這些騙子們 全都會被我告 ==喬治華盛頓大學副教授 海耶茲== 我認為性別差距擴大 主要來自獨立派女性 包括一些曾在其他選舉 投過共和黨一票的人 這次可能很難想像自己投給川普 從1980年代至今，美國女性傾向支持民主黨多於共和黨，這次總統大選差距拉得更開。希拉蕊是美國史上，第一個獲得主要政黨提名為總統候選人的女性，也積極向女性招手，讓川普嘲笑她除了婦女牌別無招數可打。 ==民主黨總統候選人 希拉蕊柯林頓(2016.04)== 如果替女性爭取健康保險 爭取帶薪家庭照顧假 爭取兩性同酬 是在打婦女牌 那就算我一份吧 第三場總統候選人辯論，川普插嘴罵希拉蕊是卑鄙的女人nasty woman，人身攻擊再惹爭議。不過也被希拉蕊陣營反將一軍，女性選民紛紛站出來，說我就是個nasty woman，相關的競選紀念品，Tshirt大熱賣，綜藝節目爭相挖苦模仿，變成潮流用語，力挺希拉蕊的女歌手凱蒂派瑞，也穿著大愛nasty woman的上衣，到大學女生宿舍拉票。 不過川普也有女性支持者，堅定捍衛他，說都是媒體偏見扣帽子。 ==川普支持者 詹尼斯== 川普對待女性很好 媒體都在說謊 稱他並非如此 但那不是事實 這個月一項民調預測顯示，如果只有女性投票，希拉蕊可望在全國538張選舉人票中拿下壓倒性的450票。如果只有男性投票，川普將拿下致勝的350張選舉人票。專家分析，川普缺乏實際的婦女政策，又口無遮攔，難以獲得女性青睞。而男性，特別是白人男性則認同他敢說真話，強勢的硬漢形象，川普的男性支持率也曾領先希拉蕊高達12%。美國第一夫人蜜雪兒歐巴馬，站台為希拉蕊固票，美國社會是否已準備好接受女性領導人，即將揭曉。 記者 施慧中 報導
