I was having this conversation the other day. Pelosi came up as a counterexample.

Now I’m not sure where the line is between subtle disrespect and simply using the more distinctive part of a candidate’s name.

Huh, I haven’t really heard people call her “Nancy”. Last time I recall her coming up amongst Republicans, it was “Pelosi” with a reference to the attack on her husband.
