I’ve been thinking about how best for the Democratic presidential nominee— or anyone else, for that matter— to limit Trump’s chances to take the White House. We watched the many failed GOP candidates try, and none of them put a glove on him. I’ve read and heard Sanders and Clinton decry his, shall we say, “mendacious” ways, to no good or lasting effect. What will work?
I say met him on his own terms and kick the shit out of him. Preface any public comments about Trump with the “Little-hands” label. Sure, many/most will default to assuming the label means he has a small dick— and that may very well be true, I have no idea.
But wait— there’s more! Try this on for size:
“Little-hands Donny Trump” has his little hands in your wallet if you thought Trump University was a way to get an education and secure your place in the American middle class. Ol’ Little-hands has his in the pockets and bank accounts of millions of folks who sought the American dream, bought a home and made their payments on time, until the Great Recession upset all of those well-laid plans-- to the delight of the presumptive republican nominee. “Little-hands Donny Trump” has his hand in the pockets of US tax-payers who pay their fair share while he pays… who knows? $0 in taxes? Just show us your tax returns, Donny. We’ll audit them ourselves.
You don’t even have to pursue the sexual innuendo. Most listeners will make the connection, “going there” just makes the approach seem… tawdry. But I think there is a chance we could have our cake and eat it, too, while hitting him at his many vulnerable spots.
As an extra added bonus, think how such a line of attack would get under his skin just as, I recall, his references to “Little Marco” evidently rattled Rubio. I actually find the prospect of a psychologically-rattled Donald Trump out on the stump a bit scary, given what he might urge his supporters to do, but I think the strategy is worth a try.
