While vowing to do everything in her power to stop Donald Trump from becoming the next president of the United States, Democratic Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren warned last week that no matter what the blustery businessman throws her way, “we won’t shut up. We won’t back down,” during one of her now signature Twitter rants against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee.
The notoriously thin-skinned candidate predictably lashed out at Warren, bestowing the goofy nickname of “goofy Elizabeth Warren” upon the popular progressive, and reanimating a tired attack on her ancestral background during an interview on Fox News Tuesday and also on his preferred vehicle of communication, Twitter, Wednesday:
Goofy Elizabeth Warren didn’t have the guts to run for POTUS. Her phony Native American heritage stops that and VP cold.

If the people of Massachusetts found out what an ineffective Senator goofy Elizabeth Warren has been, she would lose!

“Really? That’s the best you could come up with? Come on,” Warren remarked during a recent interview with Mic.com. “I thought Donald Trump said he was a guy who was good with words.”
Responding to Trump’s latest attack that she lacked “the guts” to run for president, the go-to Democratic Trump slayer took to Twitter to, again, cut the wannabe bully down to size.
“We get it, Donald Trump,” Warren tweeted to her nearly 400,000 followers on Wednesday. “When a woman stands up to you, you’re going to call her a basket case”
We get it, @realDonaldTrump: When a woman stands up to you, you’re going to call her a basket case. Hormonal. Ugly.

Do you think you're going to shut us up, @realDonaldTrump? Think again. It's time to answer for your dangerous ideas.

You care so much about struggling American workers, @realDonaldTrump, that you want to abolish the federal minimum wage?
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 11, 2016
You feel so much for people with college debt, @realDonaldTrump, that you raked in millions scamming students with Trump University?
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 11, 2016
You're so concerned about Wall Street, @realDonaldTrump, that you say you’d “absolutely” repeal Dodd-Frank?
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 11, 2016
When asked what gov should stop doing, @realDonaldTrump said overseeing banks! How can you be tough on Wall Street by letting them off?
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) May 11, 2016
.@realDonaldTrump: Your policies are dangerous. Your words are reckless. Your record is embarrassing. And your free ride is over.

Of course, Trump displaying the adroit debating skills of a child, simply doubled down on his gendered attack in a tweet to his 8.1M followers:
Goofy Elizabeth Warren is now using the woman’s card like her friend crooked Hillary. See her dumb tweet “when a woman stands up to you…”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 11, 2016
Our Native American Senator, goofy Elizabeth Warren, couldn’t care less about the American worker…does nothing to help!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 11, 2016
Isn’t it funny when a failed Senator like goofy Elizabeth Warren can spend a whole day tweeting about Trump & gets nothing done in Senate?
