Donald Trump Going After Elizabeth Warren
Twitter ^ | May 6, 2016

Posted on 05/06/2016 4:54:29 PM PDT by Pinkbell

Elizabeth Warren has been attacking Trump lately:

[Excerpt]

The night of Donald Trump’s big Indiana Republican primary win, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was ready. She tore loose with a series of late-night anti-Trump tweets in which she accused him of racism, sexism, xenophobia, narcissism and a host of other faults.

Two weeks earlier, after being asked about another Warren tweet storm in which she accused him of being "a loser," Trump fired a warning shot across Warren's bow. "Who's that, the Indian? You mean the Indian," he responded, referring to a well-known political controversy over Warren claiming Indian heritage.

The exchanges signal the start of what could be a nasty surrogate side-battle as the general election campaign begins to take shape. Warren is poised to be an aggressive Trump critic, for the Democrats and Hillary Clinton, should she lock up the nomination. And for Trump, who thrives off detecting weakness and pouncing, Warren is a target-rich environment.

Trump responds this evening:

"I hope corrupt Hillary Clinton chooses goofy Elizabeth Warren as her running mate. I will defeat them both."

"Let’s properly check goofy Elizabeth Warren’s records to see if she is Native American. I say she’s a fraud!

"Goofy Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton’s flunky, has a career that is totally based on a lie. She is not Native American."

However, a cautionary note from the Fox News article:

Warren's office did not respond to requests for an interview. Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a grassroots organization that raised over a million dollars in small donations for Warren's Senate campaign against Scott Brown, believes that Warren relishes baiting Trump and welcomes renewed scrutiny, should it come.

"The more Donald Trump takes the bait and attacks Elizabeth Warren and thrusts Elizabeth Warren into a national dialogue, the better for Hillary Clinton because the issues Hillary Clinton is fighting for are overwhelmingly popular with Democratic voters," he said.

-- It's hardly equivalent if we're talking about running mates. --

Well then make it a Bernie/Warren ticket, and Trump going after Hillary.

Heck, Trump goes after Bernie directly, that costs him some Bernie voters already. And if Bernie is on the ticket, is Trump supposed to lay off him?

As it stands, we can only guess who the DEMs will run.

Warren went after Trump. Is he supposed to just take it?

Trump isn’t afraid of her liberal garbage.

Trump is a different kind of animal, like Grendel,
" That not even the finest blade on earth, No weapon of any kind could harm him, For he was proof against every sword, Every knife-edge."

If you want to take him out, it's hand to hand in the arena.

If they were smart they would realize that. However, at this point they are too invested in Shillary to do anything about it.

Delicious.

And smart to attack Warren. She is a likely VP candidate for Hillary or for the pinch hitter, Biden. Dispose of her now.

So “Goofy” it is. That’s called a millstone. Trump hangs them on people like no other. I guarantee you in a week you won’t be able to look at Elizabeth Warren without thinking, she’s goofy.

I love it! Does he have a team of people who come up with these epithets?

There are two good reasons not to attack Warren as long as she’s not a candidate:

1) She’s a foil to Clinton. When Clinton says she will be the “first woman President”, most Dems cringe because they want Warren to have that honor. To Dems, she’s the good woman to Clinton’s evil woman. She thus by merely existing acts to undermine Clinton’s support among Democrats.

2) Most people aren’t aware of this, but the pre-politics academia version of Warren in part laid the groundwork for Trump’s success. “The Coming Collapse of the Middle Class” provides a lot of detail to buttress Trump’s arguments. It’s a fascinating watch and isn’t political at all. If Trump doesn’t destroy her he can use her as a weapon against Clinton.

I have decades of pent up angst from how far we’ve fallen since Reagan, with the Clinton’s a definite low point.

It would be so laughable to have Trump close his commercials with that barking clip.

This season has already been the most enjoyable primary of decades. The election season, with Trump, will undoubtedly be bringing tears of laughter to my eyes, everyday.

Donald needs to compel warren to site examples of his alleged racism, sexism, xenophobia, narcissism and a host of other faults. The more time she spends trying to explain, the less doubt American citizens will have she's another obamian imbecile.
