Call him a whiny, little baby

Attack him for his thin skin, his always bitching about "everybody is so mean to me". Make them see him as a weak, insecure, small man.
He's not a tough guy, he's a baby in a suit. And watch him implode.
Unasked advice for our eventual nominee.

He is truly the man behind the curtain, hiding his weakness behind an image of a tough man.

But Putin, and Kim, and Erdogan all know better.

His health has to be often poor, sporadically decent. Ten months is an awfully long time to sustain the stress of this unique election year.

but the economy is doing well for many so they accept it. Dems really need to figure out a new strategy -- calling him names is not cutting it. He thrives on it and throws it back. I am digging Bloomberg's ads, however.

Focus on THE ECONOMY and show Americans how it's not as great as Fat Nixon claims it is.

Got too much blowback about it being a taboo word and hostile to women.

But I loved Burn Norice.

I've only missed one episode since its inception (hospital) and was an avid PI fan. I understand the offensive word. That's why I put an asterisk in.

In medical terms, it means Shortness of Breath.

Actually, therewas a feminist on Phil Donahue 30 years ago who said the "B-word" stood for Being In Total Control of Herself. That way women could capture the word and it lost its effectiveness as a slam.

Gives you a two-fer without using either objectionable word.
