Trump: Running Against Elizabeth Warren in 2020 Would Be ���a Dream Come True��� ����

Although his first term as president is barely underway, Donald Trump is already casting an eye to his reelection bid, and appears to have selected what he sees as his perfect adversary in 2020.

Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of party progressives and someone who, during the latter stages of last year���s campaign, appeared to have almost as much affinity for using Twitter to lob grenades as Trump himself, is the prospective opponent whose candidacy, the president insists, would represent ���a dream come true��� for him.

The subject came up during an interview that aired last Saturday on Fox News. Speaking with Fox���s Jesse Watters, Trump said about Warren that he believes ���she would lose badly��� in the matchup, and that the Bay State senator ���hurt Hillary Clinton very badly��� during last year���s race for the White House.  

Referencing the aforementioned closing stages of the campaign, Trump said, ���I watched that last couple weeks, where she was getting up with that craziness and anger. They are hard. I said, ���She is bad for Hillary.������

���Pocahontas would not be proud of her as her representative, believe me,��� he continued, shamelessly taking a swipe at Warren���s historical, heavily-disputed self-identification as a Native American. Warren has never been able to prove the veracity of the claim, and many believe she made it for the express purpose of capitalizing on minority status in order to advance her career as an academic.

According to survey results revealed last month from a Morning Consult poll, Trump would, in fact, beat a candidate Warren relatively handily in a head-to-head matchup,  42 to 36 percent.
