The Mary Pat Christie eye-roll when Trump disses Hillary.

Millions of other Republican women were reacting the same way. She was the one caught on camera.

Mary Pat Christie attracted a lot of attention Tuesday night for appearing to roll her eyes while standing on stage behind Donald Trump.

The GOP front-runner took aim at Hillary Clinton, who won four of the five primary contests on the Democratic side, in his victory speech.

"The only thing she's got going is the woman's card," Trump told a crowd gathered at Trump Tower in New York for his victory speech after the billionaire swept the five Northeastern states holding votes. "And the beautiful thing is that women don't like her.”

That comment drew a reaction from the first lady of New Jersey, who was onstage with her husband, former GOP candidate turned Trump supporter, Chris Christie. Her facial expression got a lot of reactions on social media as the event wrapped up.

1. In the GE, how many Repub women -- in the privacy of the voting booth-- will vote for Hillary?

I'm betting a fair few will do just that, rather that vote for The Donald.

2. There was a poll earlier this month

That showed Trump had a 24 percent approval rating among ALL women. He will never get out from under that. And that's why he's already toast.

Incidentally, Willard had what was considered peak white turnout in 2012. He won 60 percent of the white vote and still got smoked by 120+ ECVs. If I'm a Republican that would keep me up at night.

I expect very strong minority turnout in this election, as well, if he is the nominee.

It could be the secret main story of the election. Of course the berniebros haven't considered this at all and when it happens and results don't match the exit polls, there will be a lot of sour grapes. It will be interesting to see if there are some unexpected results in some red areas.

4. Well Mary Pat and Hillary both worked for Goldman Sachs.

She may have even heard Hillary's famous speeches. Add Cruz's to Goldman Sachs is well represented by select spouses in both party.

Just a coincidence I am certain.

9. Having a desk would have been more honest than a few minutes speaking fees.

I am not one who thinks Hillary needs release transcripts the amount and the fact that she had multiple gigs with those blood suckers is proof enough for me. I would tend to doubt the accuracy of any written transcipt too bad there was not a waiter with a cell phone. Security was udoubtly much better and professional than Hillary was used to at the State Department. Obviously no crime in making a little money.

Like Debbie Wasserman Schultz, he would love the opportunity to use the office to arrest pot smokers.
