Donald Trump Spent His Night Threatening Cory Booker, Insulting ‘Pocahontas’ Warren

by Tommy Christopher | 8:06 am, July 26th, 2016 702

As the first night of the Democratic National Convention built from conflicted chaos to a triumphant crescendo with a well-engineered speech by Bernie Sanders, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump did what he does, but not particularly well. While the Democrats gradually got their unity on in Philadelphia, Trump fired off a series of lackluster tweets with mostly-familiar themes, but beginning with this weird veiled threat against New Jersey Senator and formerly buzzed-about Democratic VP contender Cory Booker:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

If Cory Booker is the future of the Democratic Party, they have no future! I know more about Cory than he knows about himself.

After that, it was Bernie the sellout, Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren, and Bernie the sellout again:

Sad to watch Bernie Sanders abandon his revolution. We welcome all voters who want to fix our rigged system and bring back our jobs.

Elizabeth Warren, often referred to as Pocahontas, just misrepresented me and spoke glowingly about Crooked Hillary, who she always hated!

Thank you Trump for reminding me of how much both of these fine Senators mean to us.

He may be tweeting into a vacuum, and that ought to make him berserk.

I don't know if he is a Rep or a Senator but he has the Kennedy good looks and the beginnings of the charm. Watch out guys for the future with another Kennedy.

Talk about choosing a wrong target if he does. Michelle is NOT her husband.
