PROBLEM: (CNN) Donald Trump has a message for the American people: No fat chicks. And America has a message for him: That kind of crass sexism may have sold tabloids in the '90s, but it loses you elections in a more feminist, body-positive 2016. His poor performance at the first presidential debate was brought into even sharper relief by a stunning show from Hillary Clinton, who pointedly brought up Trump's chauvinist treatment of women. "And one of the worst things he said was about a woman in a beauty contest -- he loves beauty contests, supporting them, and hanging around them -- and he called this woman 'Miss Piggy,' then he called her 'Miss Housekeeping' because she was Latina," Clinton said.Jill Filipovic: In doubling down on his fat-shaming of Alicia Machado, Trump shows he's out of touchShe says today more Americans self-identify as fat AND worthy of love and respectFilipovic: Public figures can no longer get away with using weight as a tool of sexist humiliation
