Elizabeth Warren Is Gathering A Democratic Army To Defeat Donald Trump

PoliticusUSA, Jason Easley

During an interview on The View, Sen. Warren (D-MA) said, “You know, the way I see it is the Republicans waited way too late to go on the attack after Donald Trump, and they waited until he had basically seized the nomination and then a bunch of them are saying: Oh my God, that man is not ready to be president of the United States. That man is dangerous. That man holds a bunch of views that are really horrible views, but it was too late for the Republicans. Well, my view on that is, I’m not waiting. I waded in on Donald Trump. Now’s the time to go after him. You bet.”

Warren is correct. Democrats have learned from the mistakes of the Republican Party. They aren’t falling for Trump’s tabloid style tactics. They aren’t kidding themselves that Trump is a fad, or that he will go away. Democrats are taking Donald Trump seriously, which is why they are coming after him early and often.

The worst mistake that Democrats could make would be to be complacent with Trump. Most Republicans thought Trump could never win, and now he is their presidential nominee. Democrats need to hit Trump early and often. Most importantly, they can’t let up until the job is done.

Donald Trump isn’t a joke. He is the Republican nominee for president. Sen. Warren has it figured out. Trump is dangerous, which is exactly why Democrats should be relentless on him though Election Day.

Nothing can be left to chance or complacency. Trump is a horror but that doesn't mean he doesn't have rabid supporters who buy into his dreck. Also doesn't mean that the Republicans will all sit on their thumbs until November. They may despise Trump but they hunger for a WH win.

I'm expecting this to be an ugly, ugly campaign, so the sooner Dems define and frame The Donald the better. Warren is doing an excellent job at jabbing at Trump's underbelly. He doesn't like it one bit and is quick to lash out. His recent spew about her Native American heritage claim as fraudulent and racist is a case in point. This is the argument of a five-year old. He cannot help himself. The man is a thin-skinned narcissist and he proves it time and time again with these impulsive reactions. The fact he's enlisted Scott Brown to echo the same campaign smear that failed in Brown's Senate run against Warren underscores how ineffective and offensive this line of attack has proven to be. But Trump just keeps on, keeping on because that's who the man is. Who he is not is the reformed plutocrat, the greedy greedster who has suddenly found Jesus, who walks around with the Bible in one pocket and The Art of Con in the other. This is the drivel he's trying to sell voters.

It behooves the Democratic Party and its more vocal members like Warren to parse every claim, jab at the over-inflated ego and push back every smear and inaccuracy.

We can win this thing--big. But only if the pressure is unrelenting and Trump is continually exposed as the grifter he's always been.

Trump, and they waited until he had basically seized the nomination and then a bunch of them are saying: "Oh my God, that man is not ready to be president of the United States. That man is dangerous."

Go Elizabeth!
