Russia taunts are worthless because they don't stick. But this would, especially with young people. Every time Trump speaks there is an emphasis on fear. it is unmistakable. Just listen to a few sentences and it shows up.

Short and simple slogans work. IMO, we should have been calling them the party of Lies and Fear. Do it over and again until it becomes a familiar mocking chant. Kids who thrive on videos would take it to a new level with creativity we can't even imagine. Those videos would become viral. Then every time Trump got up there to launch his typical spiel at a rally you would have those kids elsewhere responding with the mocking "Lies and Fear...Lies and Fear..."

Every time they saw him those words would come to mind immediately. They'll be forwarding each other their favorite videos depicting Lies and Fear. Nicknames don't stick to Trump but this would. Trump hates to be mocked so it would burn him far beyond anything else we have attempted.

Instead we'll try some idiotic bland slogan courtesy of Chuck Schumer and probably with 10 words and nobody with any chance to remember it or care about it.
