Elizabeth Warren's secret weapon against Donald Trump?

It is her nickname.

The "conventional wisdom" is that Trump wins when he calls people "nicknames". True, most of his supporters laugh and move on.

But there are some Republicans that do not think it is funny. If Trump continued to use the nickname, "Pocahontas", it would have a negative effect on a percentage of his voters. That is enough to permit Elizabeth Warren to be the next President.

By the way, the NYTimes Editorial Page endorsed Warren and Klobuchar, an all-women ticket. They may be on to something there?

as an aside, Trump had consistently lied about HIS family heritage. For decades, he claimed his father's lineage was Swedish, not German, in order to do deal with wealthy Jewish businessmen. Trump finally "came out" as German when he was chosen to be the Grand Marshall to lead the New York City Steuben Day Parade in 1999.
