what is “TRAPO”?

supporters of lesser known candidates like to use the word “trapo” to describe other candidates who are leading in the polls who ware favorites in this election.

they use the word like a derogatory word or a word that we should all be ashamed of once used on candidates we support.

i don’t actually get it. this invented bad word does not really mean anything other than a failed attempt to discredit the leading candidates. even among themselves, the supporters of lesser known candidates can’t seem to make up their minds as to exactly what it means. they have all types of definitions on what they mean and many don’t connect even with a mile long dotted line.

“trapo” is supposed to mean traditional politics. but it has taken a lot of meanings now.

let’s hear it from the readers how they understand the meaning of the word “trapo” is.
