If the last election taught us anything, it was that Trump did, in fact, have all the best words when acting in his capacity as "Nickname-Dubber-in-Chief." Crooked Hillary, Lyin' Ted, Little Marco, Low Energy Jeb -- these were all nothing short of pure political genius, in ways that went to a deeper psychology than most of would probably want to understand or admit. (And that's not even getting into the "had it up to here [bellybutton]" Rand Paul crack, or the "Rick Perry wears those glasses to make people think he's smart" line.)
So let's hear some possible monikers for the opposition herd. I'm sure Frank Luntz is working on this as we speak, but I'll start the bidding.
1.Warren - obviously, this one is already taken care of with the masterful "Pocahontas" which is so powerful because it signals in a brutal way her willingness to let ambition invoke phoniness.
2. Biden -- This is a surprisingly tough one, because the ones that could be most effective ("Plugs" or "Creepy Joe") could easily bounce back on Trump.
3. Sanders - I think given the President's 80's mindset, he's probably going to be called simply "Bernie the Commie".
4. Harris -- Though I doubt he'd do it, I'd like to see him reach back to his WWE/Wrestlemania experience and evoke another 80's icon, Kamala the Ugandan Giant (whose real last name, oddly enough, was Harris).
5. Buttigieg - Don't think he'll do anything involving the too-obvious ass-jokes, and can't really run the small town mayor angle since many of his constituents are from small towns. But maybe something like Boy Wonder or Robin could work, if not already applied to O'Rourke.
6. Gillibrand - the Man Hater
7. O'Rourke - Either an angle involving Robin per above, or something loser-oriented emphasizing the guy couldn't even win a statewide office in his home state, or something along the lines of Robert Francis.a sleeper might be something like bobbywannabe
8. Booker - the Pothead
9. DeBlasio - no idea, but if he's not long gone soon enough, I'm sure there'll be something special cooked up for his fellow New Yorker.
10 The Rest - Who?
