Agree 100% about using first names can diminish a candidate, especially women. “Donald” takes him down a notch and much preferable to “Trump”.
When I was hired at my first job I told the secretaries, who were all women, to call me by my first name. They insisted on calling me Dr. Solomon, explaining to me that as the only woman doctor in our department it was important to not be called by my first name. They were right.
True! Also, remember Obama at the National Press Club with his brilliant (although fateful and ill-considered) takedown of Agent Orange: he referred to him as "the Donald."
Do you have a contact for canvassing in Pennsylvania? A number of people have asked me and I would like to connect them!
