The BazaarTrump campaign is struggling to gain the support of women voters -- but they're proven remarkably adept at alienating them.
During the Republican National Convention Thursday night, Trump's campaign chief Paul Manafort sat down with MSNBC host Chris Matthews. Matthews wanted to know how the chief dealt with what he saw as the "problem" of women who see sexism every time the campaign criticized Hillary Clinton. Manafort responded in typical Manafort fashion.

"Many women feel they can't afford their lives, their husbands can't afford to be paying for the family bills. Hillary Clinton is guilty of being part of the establishment that created that problem. They will hear the message. As they hear the message, that's how we will appeal to them."
Matthews seem startled by the response.
"Is that 21st century talking?" Matthews asked.
Here's full video of the uniquely awkward encounter:

Sixty-five percent of women have an unfavorable view of Donald Trump, Washington Post/ABC polls have reported.
It is unclear whether suggesting that they're voting for Trump because their husbands are struggling will attract more women to the campaign.
