Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday attacked Donald Trump's rise to become the presumptive Republican nominee, tweeting that the real estate mogul "built his campaign on racism, sexism and xenophobia."

Trump is running a campaign of hope. He's giving voice to those who have been ignored for too long.

I expect Warren to be one of Hillary's main surrogates and attack dogs.  And she'll do a good job.

This is completely true. Trump's campaign is more sexist, racist, and xenophobic than George Wallace's 1968 campaign. At least Wallace believed in state's rights and the 1st Amendment.

"Donald Trump has built his campaign on racism, sexism and xenophobia." said the Massachusetts senator, in an interview conducted between lunch time and bingo at the Cambridge nursing home where she now resides.

Quite a bit, but she left out plain-old fearmongering and appeals to ignorance.

I hate to rain on your parade here, but Trump is actually 3 years older than Warren.

If trump's words and statements of hate are "hope" (as you say) .... God help us.

Trump is a defensive nationalist with policies can be interpreted by a 12 yo.

The interesting thing will be to see gow he changes personally now that he is one street away from the White House.

This has been obvious for almost a year now. GOP voters have clearly said they're fine with it.

Of all the words that Donald Trump could have chosen to label Elizabeth Warren as, "goofy" is not the one I would have expected.

It's pretty tame by Trump standards.

Elizabeth Warren is an idiot.

I noticed that article earlier.  I actually sort of liked her at some point, but if she's this slow, then I'm going to have to re-evaluate my position regarding her.  

to answer your question:  it is truthful.  Sad, though, that it is newsworthy, because the first three letters of newsworthy spell new.  Are people just figuring this out?  Is Elizabeth Warren patting herself on the back for being the first American citizen to figure this out?  It would explain quite a lot.  Damn shame.

You know, it's strange. I've never seen Trump attack somebody's political views. It's always "Lying Ted" and "Little Marco" and "Crooked Hillary" and "Goofy Elizabeth".

True. Who even uses the word 'goofy' anymore?

I use it, but I'd rather use it to describe CNN.  Warren is only one person.  You might think that a well-financed news organization would have figured out that The Donald has exploited bigotry and fear long ago.  WaPo figured that out.  TIME figured that out.  How is it that Elizabeth Warren and CNN are figuring that this is news?  Goofy fits, and it fits well.  Seriously, if Clinton's surrogates are this slow, then The Donald will have no trouble crushing them.

Gosh, Elizabeth Warren says Trump's campaign is built on racism, sexism and xenophobia? If she were to somehow get the press to keep repeating the charge over and over, maybe folks with feeble minds would begin to repeat it in their sleep, and the zombie revolution could begin. Great to hear from such an upstanding, non-partisan person within the Senate.
