What Elizabeth Warren is doing is making me hopeful

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/clinton-and-allies-open-new-front-against-trump-his-profits-from-the-housing-crash/2016/05/24/16399474-21f3-11e6-8690-f14ca9de2972_story.html

I got the feeling, knowing how she is, when she got into with the jackass a week or two ago on twitter, that she was going to keep doing this.

It is interesting that this followed up in a more direct way, closer to his level, after a more politically positioned ad was put out by Hillary's campaign on Trump saying he hoped the housing market would tank so he could make money.

THIS is how Hillary has to deal with Trump once the primary fully clears.

DO NOT ENGAGE HIM ON HIS TERMS.
DO NOT RESPOND to his endless stream of juvenile shots.
Pick those battles VERY wisely, and selectively.
Take more directed shots like the ad, not persona shots.
But, other people have to take Trump on personally, and more at his level.

Warren has the toughness to do this. As women, it particularly will get him amped up.

Other people need to engage him like this, too. The more, the better.

MAKE HIM REACT, but it can't be Hillary. She has to look presidential, and as the adult as opposed to Trump being a childish megalomaniac.

Also, I suspect that once he concedes, Bernie will also actively take Trump on, too, to protect Hillary as Warren is doing.

Gotta find a way to muck through the next two months, get past the convention ...

Ignores the kid throwing tantrums then trump doesn't have anything, he doesn't have a platform, he is a severe flip flop record, just a lying mouth.

Warren is classy and tough. I like the way she throws a punch. Right in the gut...
