DID BERNIE SANDERS GIVE DONALD TRUMP A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE WITH A NEW NICKNAME?

[NWCorona]

"Donald Trump has become known for crowning his opponents with brutal, simplistic nicknames, much in the way of a middle school playground bully. Trump’s method of sticking his primary opponents with nicknames and then relentlessly hammering them in was one of the reasons why Trump emerged at the head of the pack during the race for his party’s nomination. Defining his opponents and casting them in the most negative light possible has become a trademark, and one that he returns to time and again, as it has thus far proved to be a successful move. Low Energy Jeb. Little Marco Rubio. Lyin’ Ted. And now, as the Republican nomination is officially his, Trump has turned his penchant for nicknames to the other side.


Crooked Hillary. Goofy Elizabeth Warren. Crazy Bernie.

But it seems as though “Crazy Bernie” may be giving Donald Trump a taste of his own medicine by bestowing a rather cutting nickname on the candidate.

Mr. Macho.

Like Trump’s own nicknames for his opponents, it’s short and certainly not sweet, and, knowing Donald Trump’s penchant for vigorously defending his manhood — there was, after all, that time during a nationally televised debate that he felt compelled to assure his voters about the adequate size of a body part that had recently been slandered — “Mr. Macho” will cut to the quick."

1. No, like little Marco, he's desperate and devolved to Trump's level.

[Doctor_J]

10. Psssh. Rubio's a dim witted pretty boy with no opinions of his own on anything

He supports trump because the people who give him money told him to.

[Trust Buster]

11. Who also, out of desperation, devolved to the level of Trump's name calling. Please try to stay

on topic.

35. To someone like you, whatever Bernie does has to be wrong. The fact is, nobody can

be right all the time, and nobody can be wrong all the time.

[metroins]

2. That's not a very good one

Trump is pretty good at nicknames. Mr. Macho almost sounds like a compliment.

[nc4bo]

4. As a female, whenever I hear the term "macho" I think asshole.

Perhaps manly, pleasing to look at sometimes, but probably the biggest, self absorbed asshole on the block.

[winter is coming]

6. ^^ This. n/t

[Ferd Berfel]

31. As a MAle it's always made me think: Insecure childish asshole

I had a few 'macho' friends and acquaintances and they were all very insecure. The macho crap they displayed was always due to being very insecure and emotionally "underdeveloped" about one thing or another

[COLGATE4]

5. Trump and his mouth-breathing followers will adore it.

Trump is MACHO!! MACHO MAN!!! MACHO PRESIDENT. Shit, they'll eat it up like ice cream.

[CountAllVotes]

7. Macho PIG!

*oink* *oink* *oink*

[COLGATE4]

9. I'd rather go with Macho Duck but I imagine Disney would sue.

Donald - the Macho Duck (can't you hear the song playing in the background???)

[CountAllVotes]

3. Keep it simple

Just call him what he is, a big Rump, no t for purely aesthetic reasons mind you.

[Sheepshank]

8. Trump is in reality a sniveling, entitled coward, and I would focus on that.

who would pee his pants if anyone even came close to punching him in the face....as he called for that to be done to others.

[Orsino]

18. Truth. He doesn't even talk macho well. n/t

[Hiraeth]

12. Macho macho man. I don't wanna be a Macho Man!

[JEB]

13. Il Duce.

[NCTraveler]

14. Sanders served up some really strong medicine with that one. nt.

[floppyboo]

15. I imagine that one will raise the ire of the Latino community.

I like it. Makes him seems so passé. For my generation all I can think of when I hear this is

[Melissa G]

16. Probably from the SNL skit.

If you are not Hispanic and of a certain age, this is what comes to mind.
I am both Hispanic and of a certain age and have had trouble not thinking of it when Trump comes to mind.

[pdsimdars]

17. Macho? ?

.

[JudyM]

19. Whew, that's a good one.

[TheBlackAdder]

39. It's one of those names, like "Tiny" for the 350lb. football player, or "Shortie" for the B-baller.

[aspirant]

20. Dodo Donnie becomes Dopey Donnie who turns into Dorky Donnie

[bettyellen]

21. I'm glad Hillary will not stoop to this shit. She can't be baited as easily

As either of those dudes can. Stooping to Trumps level is foolish.

[NWCorona]

22. Huh?

[bettyellen]

23. "Presumptive nominee" is what everyone has called Trump, lol. You think she made that up? Ha ha.

It's not a nickname it is a description that ALL the media has used to describe him- she did not "coin a nickname" at all.

[NWCorona]

24. Read the article

[bettyellen]

27. i did. It doesn't make "Presumptive nominee" a nickname she coined.

You and I both know it is standard terminology for what he is. It is in no way an insult or something she herself coined. Don't be ridiculous. That article is bullshit.

[NWCorona]

28. You think presumptive and presumptuous mean the same thing?

[bettyellen]

30. If it was a nickname she coined, she'd be using it- no?

I think it was a stupid play on words but not an attempt to hang a nickname in him- like Macho Trump or Crooked Hillary. I see a big difference there.

[IdaBriggs]

25. It's presumptUOUS. It's kind of silly on her part since she "declared herself". nt

[dchill]

26. I actually think he'll be flattered.

[immoderate]

29. You are quite right. Donald will love it.

I think his nickname should be "THE WEAVE."

[dchill]

33. I like "The Orangutan" - but I know...

That insults orangutans everywhere.

[UCmeNdc]

32. Donald "Duck and Dodge" Trump

[Seeinghope]

34. I'm from Chicago and was young when there was a circus show on T.V. There was a clown named

BOZO THE CLOWN, that is my nickname for Trump. Bozo had orange hair the stuck way out from his head and he had a big mouth. BOZO THE CLOWN. Yep my name for Trump


http://www.chicagonow.com/acrimonious-clown/2014/02/the-world-has-a-clown-shortage-coulrophobiacs-rejoice/


You have to scroll down to see the clown with orange hair.......I hope the link works

[immoderate]

36. Bozo, as I recall, was a franchise.

Every TV market had a station that presented Bozo, or a person with that trademarked pattern of makeup and behaviors. I could be mistaken. The actual person was interchangeable.

--imm

[Seeinghope]

37. Possibly. Ideally don't know but either way the orange hair and big mouth fit Trump to a tee!

[Land of Enchantment]

38. I remember Bozo and the memories of him totally creep me out. Great choice!! nt
