Giving his opponents nicknames apparently worked for Trump in 2016, and he doesn’t have much imagination, so he’s trying it again for 2020. “Crooked Hillary,” “Lyin’ Ted,” and “Little Marco” have turned into “Pocahontas,” “Sleepy Joe,” “Alfred E. Neuman,” and “Crazy Bernie.” I can’t say I get the Mad Magazine allusion with Mayor Pete, but logic isn’t a big part of this.
All I can say is, if any of the Democrats want to use “Wizard of Id,” “Donnie Rotten,” “Steely Don,” or “Man on Golf Cart,” they have my permission.
