Trump's 'Crooked Hillary' label may stick
Latimes ^ | 05/10/16 | Doyle McManus

Donald Trump dispatched his Republican rivals by branding each one with an insulting but memorable nickname: “Lyin' Ted” Cruz, “Little Marco” Rubio. As the general election campaign nears, Trump has settled on a label for the likely Democratic nominee: “Crooked Hillary.”

“It works,” he boasted to the New York Times. “It flows.”

The problem for Hillary Clinton is that he may be right.

All campaign long, pollsters have found that many voters — including some Democrats — don't think she's principled. Maybe it's her four decades in bare-knuckle politics, ancient questions about investment deals in Arkansas, her entanglement in her husband's personal scandals, her decision to set up a private email server when she was secretary of State, her big-dollar fundraising and speech fees — or all of the above. Fairly or not, Clinton can't shed her history.

Trump's 'Crooked Hillary' label may stick

Simple, succinct, so very appropriate, and best of all, it sticks in people's minds.

By hook or by ‘Crooked Hillary’, the Left will do anything to win.

Hillary learned presidential crookery from Trick Dick Nixon, but her version of ‘plausible deniability’ is not working.

Here’s the thing....the Dems have watched Trump knock off his rivals, one by one, giving most of them a very fitting “nickname”. It made people think, “Oh yes - he IS low energy”, etc.

Now with the handle “crooked” it is going to cause people (those who don’t already know) to ask why this nickname. With one word, it warrants the issues of the past to be brought up, over and over again. There’s a reason she’s called crooked, and now it must be explained.

There’s no great explanation for it, LA Times. It sticks because it makes sense.

He knows the power of brands.

It was devastating for Ted Cruz. Hopefully it’ll be just as devastating for hildabeast.

It will stick. Just like “Low Energy Jeb!”, “Little Marco” and “Lyin Ted” stuck.

Yes it was. I would hate to get on his bad side. His nicknames usually stick.

Every time the election comes up in discussion I say I can’t vote for Hillary Clinton because she is just too crooked.
