Donald Trump dispatched his Republican rivals by branding each one with an insulting but memorable nickname: Lyin' Ted Cruz, Little Marco Rubio. As the general election campaign nears, Trump has settled on a label for the likely Democratic nominee: Crooked Hillary.
It works, he boasted to the New York Times. It flows.
The problem for Hillary Clinton is that he may be right.
All campaign long, pollsters have found that many voters including some Democrats don't think she's principled. Maybe it's her four decades in bare-knuckle politics, ancient questions about investment deals in Arkansas, her entanglement in her husband's personal scandals, her decision to set up a private email server when she was secretary of State, her big-dollar fundraising and speech fees or all of the above. Fairly or not, Clinton can't shed her history.

If the shoe fits...
There! Fixed it!!!!
Simple, succinct, so very appropriate, and best of all, it sticks in people's minds.
Crazy Bernie.
Trump really knows how to knock ‘em out.
It sticks because it’s true
By hook or by ‘Crooked Hillary’, the Left will do anything to win.
Like White on Rice...
Hillary learned presidential crookery from Trick Dick Nixon, but her version of ‘plausible deniability’ is not working.
If ISIS had a Grandmother she would be the Butcher of Benghazi.
Goofy Elizabeth
She’s so crooked!!!
Here’s the thing....the Dems have watched Trump knock off his rivals, one by one, giving most of them a very fitting “nickname”. It made people think, “Oh yes - he IS low energy”, etc.
Now with the handle “crooked” it is going to cause people (those who don’t already know) to ask why this nickname. With one word, it warrants the issues of the past to be brought up, over and over again. There’s a reason she’s called crooked, and now it must be explained.
Reported by the LATimes no less
There’s no great explanation for it, LA Times. It sticks because it makes sense.
He knows the power of brands.
It was devastating for Ted Cruz. Hopefully it’ll be just as devastating for hildabeast.
It will stick. Just like “Low Energy Jeb!”, “Little Marco” and “Lyin Ted” stuck.
Yes it was. I would hate to get on his bad side. His nicknames usually stick.
Every time the election comes up in discussion I say I can’t vote for Hillary Clinton because she is just too crooked.
