Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is keeping coy about whether she is willing to be Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton’s running mate in the presidential election, Mic reports. And Warren thinks she knows why she’s gotten a rise out of him. He focused on one of the most prominent conservative talking points about Warren: That she fabricated claims about having Native American heritage in order to advance her career.

In the nine days since, and especially the last week, Trump and Warren have exchanged ferocious volleys that could only be described like a rap battle.
Warren said Trump University exemplified a broader trend in Trump’s business career of seeking profits unscrupulously.
The progressive MA senator is considered most ideologically aligned with Senate colleague Bernie Sanders, who shares her aggressive rhetoric on income inequality and Wall Street.
Warren, one of the clarion voices of the Democratic Party’s left flank, said the Clinton-Sanders debates suggested that the candidates differences on major issues were a matter of degrees, not deep divides. Warren certainly did not back down. She is too easy.
Anyone with a Twitter account can read her missives here. But another, more likely prospect is now floating into view. She also has a strong appeal to the rust belt voters Trump is hoping will scramble the electoral map for him.
This exchange began at 10:18 a.m. when Trump declared: “Goofy Elizabeth Warren has been one of the least effective Senators in the entire U.S. Senate”.
“Her whole career is a fraud because she goes out and she says she’s a Native American”, Trump said.
“So, I think this is just kind of coming back at Donald Trump and saying, ‘This is what you said, we want some accountability on that, ‘” Warren added. Elizabeth Warren of MA has had “a big, failed record as a senator” and that he hasn’t heard from her on social media since he chose to respond to recent attacks.

Warren believes that under a Trump presidency, “It will be more of a government that works for a thin slice at the top”.
