Daily Beast: Trump world anxiety grows over the rise of Elizabeth Warren.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-and-elizabeth-warren-trumpworld-anxiety-grows-over-the-massachusetts-democrat?fbclid=IwAR0GqevlZ3cnwfVk_9Tk4DiTEEe1PakNQAAbXcmblTtG9IuZgoz1Ro17UCUOver the summer, Trumpworld operatives, Republican Party oppo researchers, and GOP aides in Congress have all gleefully celebrated planting unflattering stories about Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Kamala Harris. But no one seems to have landed a lasting blow on Elizabeth Warren.
The earliest days of the Massachusetts senators presidential campaign provided ample fodder for Republicans. After an attempt to blunt President Donald Trumps racist taunts about her Native American heritage by presenting the results of a DNA test fell flat, GOP operatives had a field day, and figured theyd feast off that misstep for some time.
But Warren has recovered from that initial stumble, and steadily gained ground in the Democratic primary. And now Republicans are wondering why there is so little critical coverage of the senator and why the stories out there are making next to no dent.

The frustration Republicans are beginning to feel about Warrens non-stick nature was picked up repeatedly in interviews with 10 Republicans, including Trump campaign and White House officials, associates of the president, and other GOP operatives with knowledge of the situation. These sources stressed that the anti-Warren effort within GOP circles hadnt fallen off since the DNA snafu. Indeed, everyone from officials on Trumps 2020 re-election campaign, to the Republican National Committee, to a select group of opposition researchers have been sifting through her record in search of vulnerabilities. But with few punches landing, the worry is that Trump may have already taken his best shot, and that Warren will end up looking increasingly formidable for having bounced back.

I don't think Warren will rattle. She'll calmly refuse his blow hard rantings with facts, figures, and plans of her own.
His rebuttal will be to call her Pocahontas.

He's nowhere near her league. If she's the nominee, he won't debate her.
