Bluto for president?

It’s time for those of us who rely on DU for a progressive perspective on the news to go beyond DU’s safe zone, to talk not just to one another, wasting energy reassuring one another of the righteousness of our cause.

It’s time to challenge the lunacy of those in our circle of friends and relatives who believe Donald J. Trump ought to be next president of the United States.

It’s time to fight fire with fire.

In short, it’s time to turn Trump’s most successful tactics against him.

Let’s begin with some old-fashioned name-calling.

Hillary and her campaign can’t stoop to Trump’s brand of playground tactics, but we can.

I recently posted the following on Facebook.

I invite any of you interested in joining me in this campaign to copy it, put it in your words, post it on Facebook, email it to everyone you know who calls Hillary Clinton everything except her given name and henceforth refer to the Republican candidate for the presidency as Bluto Trump or simply Bluto.

Here’s what I posted:

I finally put my finger on who it is Donald Trump reminds me of: Bluto. Not the lovable poly sci major played by John Belushi in the motion picture "Animal House," but the bully in the Popeye commix. If you can see the similarity, I invite you to suggest an adjective that describes a characteristic the two have in common. Just one per day, please, in case there are others who might like to weigh in on the subject.

P.S. Anybody know why Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and Donald Trump are so misshapen?
