With his latest attack on Warren:
You dont have to go with Pocahontas, said Trump, who has questioned Warrens statements about her Native American heritage. She is the worst senator in the U.S. Senate.
Shes got a fresh mouth, he said. Other than that, shes got nothing going.

He's got nothing by negating and superlatives. With insults and comebacks straight from the minds of our greatest 14-year-old trolls.
He truly is the biggest thing the GOP has ever created. Republicans have for years been building the dialogue that Liberals, Democrats, Progressives, Unionists, Immigrants, Foreigners, the UN, POC, LGBT, Feminists are all terrible people. They're filled with hate for YOU, the AVERAGE PERSON. Of course, for them the average person is a middle-aged or older straight white dude who has PAID HIS DUES, DAMMIT!
Except, as Jon Stewart said in his rant on Colbert's show, "There is no real America!" and the GOP doesn't own it. What they do have to own, though, is they created Donald Trump all by themselves. They built the narrative that politicians are bad, that government should be run like a business, that Democrats are taking your money to give to people who don't work. They've been building this narrative since Reagan, and Trump is the angry little hateball that is the direct result of the seeds they've sown.
Ted Cruz hates Trump? Well, own him, buddy boy, you built him! You, and Mitch McConnell, and Karl Rove, and Dick Cheney, and Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity, and Tucker Carlson, and Glenn Beck, and Marco Rubio, and and and and and and the list goes on. The narrative you've built around the idea that corporations really would work far better if that gosh darned government just wouldn't ask what they're doing so much! You're bought and sold, you know it, and anyone can see, though not everyone will or wants to.
The GOP has moved into the insane asylum and now they have to come to grips with the monster they have built and all he's doing is spewing schoolyard insults and generalized hate.
GOTV, everyone. It's a battle for the soul of America. Time to show Trump the door.
