I doubt we will see Clinton accuse Trump of being anti-male. That wouldn\u2019t stick.<\/p>\n<p>But we haven\u2019t seen Trump accuse Clinton of being anti-male. And that would stick like tar. He might be saving that one for later.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that Linguistic Kill Shots such as low-energy, little Marco, and robotic generally have two characteristics that make them work:<\/p>\n<p>1. The label must be a fresh one you have not seen in politics.<\/p>\n<p>2. Voters must be reminded of the label every time they see or hear the subject.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never heard a politician call another one anti-male. So this approach qualifies on the freshness dimension. And any time you hear Clinton talk about making the world better for women \u2013 which is obviously a legitimate goal \u2013 it would remind you she cares less about men, even if that isn\u2019t true. (We don\u2019t know what is in her head.)<\/p>\n<p>Trump could frame Clinton as anti-male without ever saying \u201canti-male.\u201d The exact words matter less than the concept. But the words do need to be catchy in some way, so everyone wants to repeat them.<\/p>\n<p>My gut feeling is that men will abandon Clinton every day from now until November unless Trump murders a baby on live television. Otherwise, I think Trump wins easily with men. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The November general election is looking more and more like it will be Mussotrumpi against Hitllary.
