Trump Rips Dems on Twitter Over Kaine Pick, ‘Vicious’ Leaked Emails

Donald Trump went on yet another tweetstorm early this morning going after the Democrats both for Hillary Clinton‘s choice of Tim Kaine as VP and over those damning leaked DNC emails.

You may notice a theme in all this of Trump attempting to win over Sanders supporters. This is how he’s framing the choice of Kaine as VP:

The Bernie Sanders supporters are furious with the choice of Tim Kaine, who represents the opposite of what Bernie stands for. Philly fight?

Tim Kaine is, and always has been, owned by the banks. Bernie supporters are outraged, was their last choice. Bernie fought for nothing!

Pocahontas wanted V.P. slot so badly but wasn't chosen because she has done nothing in the Senate. Also, Crooked Hillary hates her!

“Pocahontas,” of course, is supposed to be Senator Elizabeth Warren, and she fired back:

I’m right where I want to be, @realDonaldTrump: Calling you out & holding you responsible for your reckless vision for America.

But Trump pounced on those leaked DNC emails too. A bunch of the emails reveal certain frustrations the DNC had with Sanders and certain attacks they were considering using on him.

So, naturally, Trump thinks this bolsters his case with Sanders supporters:

Leaked e-mails of DNC show plans to destroy Bernie Sanders. Mock his heritage and much more. On-line from Wikileakes, really vicious. RIGGED
