The 2016 election cycle is already filled with craziness and unexpected political choices, and we’re still months away from the actual election day that will decide whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton will be our nation’s next president. Trump may have already chosen his running mate in advance of his party’s convention, but Hillary has yet to name who she will be spending time with on the campaign trail (besides dear old Bill, that is). That hasn’t stopped Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren from coming after Trump time and time again on Twitter.
Whether she is angling for the VP nomination or just boosting her own political approval rating by taking shots at an easy target is unclear, but one thing that’s for sure is that Warren’s tweet storms are always entertaining. This particular one centers on the GOP’s platform and rhetoric as well as Mike Pence’s politics.
She starts off by going in on Trump picking Pence as his potential VP.
.@realDonaldTrump & @mike_pence are a perfect match: Two small, insecure, weak men who use hate & fear to divide our country & our people.

Of COURSE @realDonaldTrump – a guy who calls women fat pigs & bimbos – picked a VP who is famous for trying to control women’s bodies.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 16, 2016
What's worse? @realDonaldTrump & @mike_pence’s sexism isn’t some radical fringe of the @GOP. They're in line with the party platform.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 16, 2016
She then moves on to GOP party politics and their harmful legislation.
The @GOP platform is the most anti-choice ever: defund @PPFA & denounce all abortion. Even cases of rape, incest & woman's potential death.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 16, 2016
And OF COURSE @realDonaldTrump – a guy who “[doesn’t] feel good” about marriage equality – picked a VP famous for LGBT discrimination.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 16, 2016
The @GOP platform says overturn marriage equality & it supports parents putting their LGBT children through conversion therapy. Disgusting.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 16, 2016
The @GOP platform even says that children not from “natural marriage” are more likely to be drug addicts. Hateful AND disgusting.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 16, 2016
Terrifying to think of @mike_pence being a heartbeat from presidency – but the direction @GOP wants to take our country is MORE terrifying.

Lastly, she goes at Donald Trump directly and dares him to step up his game since name-calling is not affecting her as he probably would hope. Warren also tweeted an excess number of links and screenshots of news stories proving that Trump is a business fraud and a liar.
Nasty name-calling & lies about my family aren’t going to shut me up, @realDonaldTrump. Is that really all you’ve got?
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 17, 2016
Pres Reagan's Solicitor General was the Harvard prof who hired me, @realDonaldTrump. He says your right-wing conspiracy theories are a lie.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 17, 2016
It might blow your mind that a woman worked hard & earned a good job on her own, @realDonaldTrump, but it’s not the 1800s. It happens.
— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) July 17, 2016
She may not be planning on joining Hillary in the White House this fall, but Warren is definitely doing a good job upholding the Democratic Party’s war on Trump’s beliefs.
