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.

Low Energy was the best. It was a knockout for Trump the instant it came out of his mouth.
he is Alinskying them and they are in panic mode
Congrats Hillary, you’ve been branded!
And the more he uses the word “stamina” negatively against her, people will see that that too, is very true!
I wonder if Trump will do solo commentary at the debates while Hillary is on her 10 minute potty break at halftime?
“I am NOT Crooked!”
A. Two syllables, B. An obvious truth or latency to the description C. More of a tease than a serious insult.
D. A humorous take using a common phrase.
Shirley, Shirley Bo Berrily, Banana-Fanana-Mo-Berry Shirley!
From “Crooked Hillary” to “Cooked Hillary”.
Trump should insist that they have a Unisex bathroom as the only option...
Right out of the Hillary/Sol Alinsky play book... Define your foe and ridicule him/her so that he/she is isolated and scorned.
I see what you did there.
nice one.
L.A. SLIMES can euphemise better than anyone. “ Deciding to set up a private email server while serving as Secretary of State.” Makes it sound like choosing to start with an appetizer of steamed edamame.
Like I said in an earlier thread, it is sticking.
I like to troll around on the dem sites, like Reddit for one, and even Bernie folks are starting to call her Crooked Hillary.
He should also wrap Bernie Sanders’ platform around her. If he gets crazy liberal policies such as free college for everyone in the platform he should make her defend it. My guess is she’ll say she doesn’t support it and that will anger Bernie supports who will have thought they won something at the convention
Linguistic Kill Shot®
I must correct you. Trump has been clear that it’s “Liddle Marco” with the two “d”s, not two “ts”s. ;)
“To defend herself, she has to use “I am not a crook.” How fitting.”
Some of the younger voters might not appreciate the Irony, if she says, “I am not a crook!”.
