Trump's comments on Carly Fiorina, Megyn Kelly and others have ticked off conservative women who make up a good number of voters. "There's already enough pressure on women than to have to deal with this pig who thinks Heidi Klum is no longer attractive because she got a little bit old," says a lawyer who worked for Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign.
