Start with the playground insults: "Donald Trump is fat. He is orange. He spray-tans his face every morning. He has tiny hands. He's pathetic. And he's stupid."
While this would be unseemly speech from a candidate, it would goad the Orange One into paroxysms of rage that would unravel any remaining personal constraint he possessed. His head would explode, and it might just shake up the dynamics of the race.

(2,047 posts)Haley needs republican votes just as much as she needs independents and crossovers.
She can say what's obvious to everyone but she needs to stay away from the suicidal name-calling

(13,437 posts)We should describe him as such at EVERY opportunity, and go for the jugular with your republican friends calling them fascist traitors for aiding and abetting the enemy, that is Russia, by voting for an anti Ukraine fascist that is clearly Putins bitch and a willing servant to Russian interests.

(11,203 posts)That State and local control will swing to Democrats as Americans watch the GOP allow Trump to telegraph his wannabe dictator fantasy. That it is important to have your voices heard in the primaries and that she can swing moderates with her sane conservative policies to expand upon tax cuts, deregulation, and a return to compassionate Christian values. That divisive rhetoric is a fun side show, but will not beat Biden.
That's what she should say.
