I have a slight request for the assembled masses...

[jmowreader]

When referring to the senator from Vermont by last name, use "Sanders."

When referring to the White House press secretary by last name, use "Huckabee Sanders."

I refer to this thread:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029966420

in which "Sanders" claimed that Trump's immigration ban would have stopped the NYC bomb attack...naturally, I thought "Sanders" could have been the senator, although logic suggests it wasn't.

1. Thanks

I was thinking the same thing.

2. Just call her Leni

It really fits !

9. So;

do you really think she's capable of that level of cinematography?

3. I like this, but...

the reason people use such titles is that DU asks such threads to carry the same title used in the original source.

I do favor your proposal in the name of clarity. Maybe put (Huckabee) in parentheses when it wasn't in the original headline?

11. I believe that's even permissible in LBN - where using the actual article title is required

I think the parentheses would work to avoid confusion. In GD, there's more leeway.

4. Slight name correction.

It is Sarah Fuckabee Sanders.

5. "....naturally, I thought "Sanders" could have been the senator, .."

really?

Do you REALLY believe "Sanders" would have said such a thing?

That seems impossible to me.

6. Around Here, We're on a First Name Basis

Like Bernie, Hillary, and so on.

It's like in my house, around 5:55 PST I say that I'm going to watch Rachel and everyone knows who I mean.

7. In LBN it's required to use the actual article title, but this was in GD

I see that the actual article title was used in this case, but I believe that even in LBN it's permissible to edit for clarity and avoid confusion - (Huckabee) Sanders Says Trump Policy Would Have Kept Out NYC Bomb Suspect, for example...

[dalton99a]

8. Or simply "Stupid POS Says Trump Policy Would Have Kept Out NYC Bomb Suspect"

[jmowreader]

10. "Stupid POS" won't work

The entire administration answers to that name.
