Clinton's Trump nickname: Dangerous Donald. Nothing like using a nickname he can turn against you.

Last edited Sat May 7, 2016, 02:27 PM - Edit history (1)

Oh the brilliance of the ultimate Establishment Candidate calling the person running as an anti-Establishment candidate dangerous.

He can say:

He is a danger to Camp Clinton and her big money backers who want to continue to see policies enacted that will benefit them and not the American People.

He is a danger to the crooked politicians in Washington who don't want the gravy train to stop.

He is a danger to other countries who want to continue having the American People pay for their national defense while their own people enjoy a higher standard of living than American citizens.

He is a danger to the people making huge profits off of disastrous trade agreements while the American people lose their jobs and see their hopes for their children's future crumble.

He is a danger to companies replacing Americans with foreign workers.

He is a danger to those who are making huge profits off of drugs flowing across our border while Americans suffer from heroin addiction

And on and on...

He can say, hell yes they are terrified of me, and for good reason - for I represent a return to a government that will work for the people.

Who is the genius that thought up this nickname? Are there people working with Camp Clinton that want Trump to be the next President? Do they realize they are viewed as the establishment and Trump as the anti-establishment candidate?

How much does she pay these people?

It was widely known and used to refer to Nixon long before his Watergate problem.

Shrinky Dinks were a children's toy.

The double D's, Yep, Dangerous Donald, that will stick and remain long after it is over. The name fits and we cannot let them double dip.---Cheney just the other day threw his support behind Trump. The label falls into the category of excellence, fits the bill and puts what is going down in prospective. Indeed when thinking about Donald Trump's arrogance ,O.J. Simpson does come to mind. The name fits and we cannot let them double dip.
