Trump has a way with nicknames but I think this might be his best one yet.
"Lyin' Ted Cruz and 1 for 38 Kasich are unable to beat me on their own so they have to team up (collusion) in a two on one. Shows weakness!"

It's terrific nickname, and it really gives new life to the meme he's been running for weeks against a rigged GOP primary.
Whether or not this helps limit Trump's delegates-and I don't know whether it does or not; it certainly could backfire-it gives him a powerful political message.

What makes 1 for 38 Kasich so great is it speaks the truth. Every time you hear it the next few weeks or months-and this is going to be a big meme that everyone will be using-it has a ring of truth in it.
Kasich has won just one state. He does still trail Marco Rubio in delegates and votes despite Rubio being gone for six weeks.
Lyin' Ted has caught on but it is kind of interpretive. Someone might argue whether they really agree he's a liar.
But 1 for 38 Kasich is a simple fact. There's no disagreement or argument here. It kind of begs the question: why is he in this race to begin with? How can it be legitimate to possibly hand the nomination to a candidate who has only won his own home state? There is no state left in the primary where he is likely to win. So why is he still running?
A few weeks ago a reporter questioned him on staying in a race when he's only won his home state.

Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton did that? A big deal had been made over Trump's campaign manager grabbing a reporter. But what Kasich did was quite hostile too. He didn't just grab the tape recorder, he belched into it.
So clearly this fact about Kasich hit a nerve. Now he's about to hear about this a whole lot more with Trump's new nickname for him.

Hey Mike... you have any extra "Make America Great Again" hats you want to sell me? Or should I actually buy one from Trump himself? (I'm going to send my friend who re-registered Republican one as a joke)
ReplyDeleteI do, though getting all the way over from NY to Cali would be a haul. It's not too expensive on Trump's Making America Great Again website.
ReplyDeleteLOL
Yeah, you're probably right. I'll "take the plunge" and visit Trump's site. =)
