More evidence that Trump is either a total moron who will not take political advice or is not serious about winning in November.

Trump should not be wasting time feuding with Hillary Clinton's surrogates. He should be in constant attack mode and his targets should be Obama and Hillary Clinton. Instead, Trump is engaging in a Twitter was against Elizabeth Warren.

Obama's job approval numbers are over 50 percent, which means he will be an effective fund raiser and speaker for Democratic candidates. Trump's unfavorable rating is 70 percent and attacking Warren will do nothing to improve on that number.

Hillary Clinton is hammering away at Trump and running campaign ads in battleground states. Trump's campaign has about a tenth of the staff of Hillary's campaign and almost no money to spend on ads.

Google "Trump" and then click the "News" link. Count the negative Trump stories and compare that number against the positive Trump stories on the first couple of pages of results.

Donald Trump cannot beat Hillary by relying on "earned" media. Besides Fox News Channel, none of the large mainstream media sources want him to win. That means he needs needs to spend at least as much on paid ads as Hillary is spending to win. Instead, Trump is doing the opposite of what he should be doing. He is unfocused, undisciplined, and under funded. That is a a recipe for an electoral disaster.

Hillary is a horrible candidate. Trump is even worse. Neither one would have a chance of winning against a decent candidate.

Even if he could convince most Democrats that Elizabeth Warren is a racist, how does that help Trump at Hillary's expense? Trump is just wasting time and he is doing nothing to win over more Republicans, let alone independents or Democrats. Given the poll numbers and Trump's refusal to stick to a coherent message and strategy, how could any wealthy donor justify dumping millions of dollars into his campaign?

Donald Trump calls Elizabeth Warren a ‘racist’

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) hasn’t just been active in calling out Donald Trump; she’s also positioned herself as one of the nation’s most prominent Democrats that Republicans just love to hate.

This NBC News report, for example, is a reminder that the presumptive GOP nominee is doing more than just trading rhetorical jabs with a Senate critic. One gets the impression that Trump vehemently dislikes Warren on a rather personal level.

Donald Trump told NBC News that Sen. Elizabeth Warren is “racist” and “a total fraud” after attacking him during a Hillary Clinton rally in Ohio on Monday.

“She made up her heritage, which I think is racist. I think she’s a racist, actually because what she did was very racist,” Trump said in a phone interview.

Let’s pause to note two things. First, if Donald J. Trump, of all people, wants to have a debate about who is and isn’t “a racist,” he’s making a terrible mistake. Second, the background on Trump’s latest whining has to do with Warren family lore about a Cherokee ancestor.

Republicans don’t believe Warren’s family history, and have used this in recent years to make ugly, racially charged attacks.

Trump added in his NBC interview, “[W]e call her Pocahontas for a reason.” I’m still not entirely sure what that means. Does Trump think Pocahontas falsely claimed Native American heritage? Is he somehow suggesting Pocahontas was a racist? Trying to translate his rhetoric from Trump to English can get a little tricky.
