I’ve noticed something on Twitter and whatnot: People who don’t like Jeb Bush refer to him as “Jeb!” in mockery of his logo. People on the right, I mean. Do lefties do it? I guess I don’t read them much.

Actually, I think righties should refer to Bush as “¡Jeb!” — because he’s not a real American, just as he’s not a real conservative! (I keep hearing this.) He’s a “post-American,” a closet Mexican or what have you.

Come to think of it, he did self-identify as Hispanic on a form. D’oh! Or rather, ¡Ay!

I’m reminded of 2012, when people referred to Romney as “Mittens.” Not “Mitt” or “Romney” or even “that Obama Lite a-hole,” but “Mittens.” It was a term of contempt, obviously. And only people on the right used it, so far as I’m aware.

The Left said that he gave women cancer, killed people, paid no income tax, etc. But the Right called him “Mittens.”

Donald Trump, too, comes in for some mockery where his name is concerned. It’s really a name you can mess with: “Trumpelstiltskin” and so on. Plus, his followers are “Trumpkins” — a denigratory name. (“Trumpeters” is nicer, and so is “Trumpians.” And just plain “Trumps.”)

(“Are you a Trump?” “Yes. Are you?” “Yes — we’re Trumps.”)

We Cruzers, I think, are just that: Cruzers. I like the sound of it. Also, it reminds me of people who sail with us — who sail with NR — once or twice a year: cruisers. Moreover, could it be a play for the gay vote?

(I may have committed hate speech. I may have to borrow Hillary’s orange jumpsuit. Get me Dersh!)

In this campaign, we have Walkerites. Bushies or Jebbies. Carsonians. Paulites or Paulines. Carlyites or Carlines. Christies? (This is potentially denigratory, as my fellow Reaganites will recognize: That’s what we called the Sandinista-loving commies associated with the Christic Institute. It was an echo of “LaRouchies.”)

Hucksters? (Undoubtedly denigratory.) Kasichians. Patakites. Santori. Jindalites or Jindalians. Graham crackers.

Rubio, I’m not sure what to do with. Rubio-ites? Rubites?

Normally, we Reagan people are “Reaganites.” But Dick Allen, long ago, coined “Reaganauts,” which I’ve always sort of preferred. (He was Reagan’s first national-security adviser, and is a friend of NR — not to be confused with the Philadelphia Philly, who was sometimes Dick and sometimes Richie.)
