A humble request: hereafter, when we write the word "Trump" can we all please spell it "Trump(R)"?

As LaydeeBug is always, very correctly, telling us, TETHER THAT CHICKEN!!!

Republicans are beginning to make noises to distance themselves from Trump. We cannot let them do that. They own him. He is rotting around their necks. Let's keep him there.

1. Trump (R). Because they've earned all rights to him.

[Squinch]

2. Yep. And when they point to the pile of poop in the middle of the living room, they can't be

allowed to disavow the fact that THEIR dog put it there.

[WinkyDink]

3. No.

[Squinch]

6. Well, then. You got that off your chest, I guess.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. I don't write it nor say it. I use 45*.

[cwydro]

7. I don't either.

Never written it and won't say it.

[Canoe52]

5. I write it tRump.

[Towlie]

8. And this is for the sake of those who read DU and don't know that Trump is a Republican?

The problem with that is anyone who doesn't already know it won't know how to read, let alone operate a computer.

or vote.

11. You never communicate with anyone outside of DU?

9. I don't believe in altering names

IMO it is desperate and low class.

Same on sports forums where posters use Gaytors and similar crap. Repukes is a ridiculous term around here. I immediately think less of the person who uses it.

Using the proper name in respectful fashion and then defining in devastating accurate fashion is more effective than using a butchered version of the name.

Nicknames are a different story. Especially if they are clever. Very few qualify.

10. LOL! Listing party affiliation with the name is desperate and low class? OK, then. You go with that.
