Clinton Versus Trump
Posted March 16th, 2016 @ 9:33am in #Trump
It looks like well have a Clinton versus Trump contest for the White House.
The last time Trump and Clinton mixed it up hard, Clinton called Trump sexist and Trump responded that she was an enabler for her husbands womanizing. In summary:
- Clinton accused Trump of being anti-woman
- Trump accused Clinton of being anti-woman
I wonder if we have seen all of the permutations of gender politics. I doubt we will see Clinton accuse Trump of being anti-male. That wouldnt stick.
But we havent seen Trump accuse Clinton of being anti-male. And that would stick like tar. He might be saving that one for later.
Remember that Linguistic Kill Shots such as low-energy, little Marco, and robotic generally have two characteristics that make them work:
1. The label must be a fresh one you have not seen in politics.
2. Voters must be reminded of the label every time they see or hear the subject.
Ive never heard a politician call another one anti-male. So this approach qualifies on the freshness dimension. And any time you hear Clinton talk about making the world better for women which is obviously a legitimate goal it would remind you she cares less about men, even if that isnt true. (We dont know what is in her head.)
Trump could frame Clinton as anti-male without ever saying anti-male. The exact words matter less than the concept. But the words do need to be catchy in some way, so everyone wants to repeat them.
My gut feeling is that men will abandon Clinton every day from now until November unless Trump murders a baby on live television. Otherwise, I think Trump wins easily with men.
1. She reminds me of my ex-wife.
2. If all women were like that, I'd be a flaming homosexual.
Well, she is a bull-dyke muncher. After being politically handcuffed to "The Rapist-in-Chief" who can blame her?
