Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump resume Twitter brawl after she blasts VP pick Mike Pence

Source: Boston.com

After a solid month break, Elizabeth Warren and Donald Trump are back at it again on Twitter.

The two rekindled their social media spat over the weekend after Warren ripped into Mike Pence, who Trump introduced as his vice presidential pick Saturday, for the Indiana governor’s record on LGBT rights and women’s health.

Referring to Trump’s history of making degrading remarks toward women, the Massachusetts senator tweeted, in all caps, “OF COURSE,” he would pick a running mate “who is famous for trying to control women’s bodies.”

Warren went on to say that Trump and Pence’s “sexism” was “in line” with the party’s platform.

One type of Democrat is not good at attacking Republicans where they deserve it. That frustrates us.

Another type of Democrat can attack Republicans, but it had a more partisan feel than attacks that appeal to fair people. It's ok for rallying the Democratic troops, but tends to be ignored by others.

Elizabeth Warren finds a sweet spot all the time, that is both a very legitimate message and devastating to Republicans. Not that many are great at doing that.

I have to say, I'm with Bernie on issues, but I think Warren is even better than he is - anyone is? - at attacking Republicans.
