    Oh man. I’ve been kind of waiting to see what nickname the trump campaign would brand Kamala with. You could see them trying things out. Lying Kamala. Crooked Kamala. Laughing Kamala. Nothing really stuck... but CAT LADY Kamala? It is so out of left field, and yet so on point. Like a WMD of name calling. It’s incredible how much a simple nickname can change the framing.

    • Cackling Kamalautopian
    • Kam TuahRamanisky2
    • O'Doyle Football Rules. That's all i hear when they make up nicknames for people.capn_ron
    • cats are amazing, so its a +1 in my book. Better than the Trump the CriminalHAL9001
    • ^ see that’s the difference. Dems try to do the same thing and it just falls flat. It’s a generic smear and doesn’t resonate.monNom
    • Cat lady is so strategic. It has perfect alliteration: Ka - La. It is specific enough that people can see a resemblance. It flips the script on her platform...monNom
    • She comes out with her strong career and prosecutorial successes. ‘Cat Lady’ zeros in on what’s missing, and undermines her where she’s strong.monNom
    • It’s nasty. But it’s also very clever.monNom
    • It won't sway voters.monospaced
    • Not party affiliated voters, no. But it might be enough to discourage an independent vote from coming out to the polls.monNom
    • What retarded shit is this?
      Cat Lady FFS.

    • Huh, so it seems like maybe this was Kamala's campaign dredging up old footage? I would have put money on this being a new messaging trial balloon from TrumpmonNom
    • lol, give me a break. A stupid nickname is not swaying anyone's vote.dbloc
    • I think they've got a power way out of proportion to their cost. Look at 2016 - Jeb Bush is the favourite. Trump calls him 'Low Energy' and his campaign tanks.monNom
    • They're like a hex. A well crafted nickname, (or rumour, or innuendo for that matter) can be devastating to trust.monNom
    • this is some top-tier armchair politics commentaryplash
    • Trump is a rapist and a conman. Everything he touches turns to shit. But as I've said many times, he is the American Dream come truePhanLo
    • ^ these are kind of weak framing. They go too far and are basically slander. You are innocent until proven guilty, so slander like this is easier to shakemonNom
    • they should have stuck with 'small hands'. That was a good one.monNom
    • Trump isn't a conman?
      He's also been convicted of rape.

    • Fair enough, but somehow those things aren't 'the thing' that is sticking to him and is going to sap his energy.monNom
    • I mean, he got shot in the head, then he stood back up with his fist in the air, with an American flag behind him.monNom
    • Any assault would have to diminish him where he is strong. --IE he's a coward, he's indecisive, he's less of a man, he hates America.monNom
    • They should attack her on keeping people in jail for years longer than they needed to be. But I suppose they like that side of her.PhanLo
    • think its extremely desperate nicknameNutter
    • As far as I can tell it isn’t a nickname. It’s just a reference to what vance said about her yesterday. And he’s being shit on for it.monospaced
    • He actually said it 3 years ago and it only resurfaced. I don’t think anyone is using it, are they?monospaced
    • No, I was mistaken. I totally thought Trump's camp were calling her a cat lady... it kinda works. Maybe they should lean into it?monNom
