Donald Trump hits back at 'goofy' Elizabeth Warren

Donald Trump took to Twitter Friday evening to pile criticism on Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who earlier in the week had condemned the presumptive GOP nominee as a racist.

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

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

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

1. Kick his ass, Warren!

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. That's his comeback?

Good Lord.

[Skittles]

3. goofy?

HE is going to say THAT?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

26. Pluto was already taken

Seriously, this is Trump's modus operandi. He comes up with some short derogative adjective -- Lying Ted is an example -- and uses it every single time he mentions that person's name. "Goofy" is just plain goofy, however.

4. Then he tweeted: "I need a hug. I'm about to outclassed by goofy Elizabeth Warren."

5. trump really lacks creativity in his name calling.

[grasswire]

6. what's he going to say about foreign leaders?

I can just hear it now.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

27. "Pathetic Putin," "Commie Kim," "Pretty Boy Trudeau"

Actually, it'd probably be "My pal Putin," given how he feels about the man.

Bush degraded people by calling them nicknames rather than their proper names; Trump uses derogative adjectives.

[Reter]

28. Commie Kim is fine though

We can all call him names.

[awoke_in_2003]

29. Exactly...

I cannot believe that such a twit as this can get a party nomination.

7. Hope Warren kicks his ass!! n/t

[BlueStater]

8. Goofy? Really?

If it wasn't for that bloated, wrinkled body he occupies, I wouldn't believe this shithead is any older than 12.

9. It's not an accident. Trump attacks those that jeopardize his success.

Is it possible that Trump is thinking a few moves ahead on the off-chance that Hillary runs into polling problems before the convention?

The Democratic leadership decides to field a better female nominee at the last minute, and guess who'd be top of that list? Sanders would likely accept a VP ticket because he simply won't have the delegates to command a first-vote victory.

Sound crazy? The Democratic leadership might be stupid but they're not suicidal. If Hillary drops in the polls between now and the convention they will be looking for an strong woman lead to take Clinton's place. Strategically, it would make sense.


..Or I'm totally wrong and everything will play out exactly as the experts are predicting. How accurate have those predictions been so far this season?

[Akicita]

12. Why would they be looking for a woman candidate? Sexist much?

They should be looking for the best candidate and if it happens to be a woman, so much the better.

[Reiyuki]

13. It's the Democratic leadership, they're strategists, not sexist

They've built up a lot of effort pushing for the first woman president. If Hillary loses, they can't pick another dude because THAT will seem sexist.

For the same reason, I don't think it would be a Sanders/Warren ticket because it would be seen as promoting the same classic stereotype with the woman playing second-tier to Bernie.


I'm sorry if it came off as sexist, I'm just trying to analyze this from the lens of the high-level Democratic strategist.

[Akicita]

18. No problems. I guess it makes sense. Sort of.

21. I believe you are correct.

10. Donald Troll.

11. He pisses her off enough, she might actually accept someone's VEEP slot

[no_hypocrisy]

14. Actually I think Elizabeth Warren will be the one

who has the potential to neutralize Trump, not Hillary.

He can call her any kindergarten playground name that pops into his head, but it won't make a difference. Trump and his camp are concerned about Warren.

[bemildred]

15. I agree. nt

[jpak]

16. Worked well for Scott Brown - keep it up asshole

[mdbl]

17. Let's check Trump's brain

to see if he's an alien.

[awoke_in_2003]

30. Do you have the name of a proctologist? nt

[JustADumbFireman]

32. Bravo!

[mdbl]

35. LOL!

Can't top that one!

[Hugin]

19. Please proceed, Presumptive Nominee.

[vkkv]

20. Trump is acting more and more 'presidential' all the time! nt

[Kingofalldems]

22. He's a fifth grade Beaver Cleaver attacking Judy Hensler.

[trof]

25. Nope, Eddie Haskell.

[Eugene]

23. He's actually going there.

Please proceed, Donald. After all, questioning Ms. Warren's ethnicity
worked out so well for Scott Brown, didn't it?

tRump is disgusting!

[gussmith]

24. You Get What you Vote for

This is the only Trump anyone will get. If elected he will nah, nah, na nah na in repartee to anyone who disagrees with him. Whether world leaders, especially women, or reporters he will increase and embellish his childish 'bully pulpit' tactics with personal disparagements, meanness, arrogance and all the natural negativity of his personality.

[JustADumbFireman]

31. I hope she does pick Warren (or Sanders). That will be unbeatable!

Warren might actually have more influence remaining in the Senate.

[laserhaas]

34. DREAM ON bigot spigit

Warren would never be Hillary's VP
