Donald Trump ran his primary campaign in large part by quickly defining his opponents with names and descriptions: "Little Marco Rubio." "Low-Energy Jeb Bush." "Lyin' Ted Cruz." He insulted their wives and their manhood, their integrity and in the case of Carly Fiorina, her looks. It seemed to work. Though he never got much more than 40% of the Republican vote, it was enough to dismiss the field as "losers" and win.
Now Donald is facing a general election opponent he quickly called "Crooked Hillary." And he can't seem to help refer to her aggressive surrogate, Senator Elizabeth Warren, as "Pocahontas," based on her assertion that she has native American ancestry. After former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, one of the richest men in the world, spoke out against him at the Democratic National Convention, he called him "little," though it's not clear that it will stick on a self-made man who can buy and sell him.
Elizabeth Warren seems to have gotten under Donald's skin with her sharp attacks against him, attacks that come close to questioning his manhood. Bill Maher refers to him as that "whiny little bitch" and has called him a pussy. Even Hillary referred to his thin-skinned tweets.
Personally, I think the public should think of him as a pussy. But I'm tempted to use a schoolyard taunt, possibly offensive to the gay community but without real sexual connotation: "little faggot." A guy who acts like a bully but doesn't have the strength or courage to back up his threats. A weak, sniveling, gutless .
Or, thinking of my father, I think of Donald as a "gutless wonder." A guy who talks tough, may even send others to be tough for him, but never has the courage to put himself at risk.
Maybe it doesn't matter what name we use for The Donald. Or maybe we should use all of them. But we've got to get the public to realize that his guy is a fraud, an entertainer, a master showman, but bereft of any knowledge, wisdom, moral character. He's a pussy. A fraud. A little faggot willing to put your families' lives at risk for his own fragile pride.
We'll be back with more ideas on this subject.
