Election 2016: Another point for Trump

Even though I don't support or even like Donald Trump, he is totally owning the Democrats in the war of words leading up to this coming presidential election.

Case in point, from Marketwatch:

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren made her first campaign appearance on behalf of presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in an event aimed at showcasing party unity ahead of the fall general election. 
...Warren attacked Trump as an “small, insecure money-grubber,” a “nasty man who will never become president of the United States” and a “thin-skinned bully” who wears “goofy” hats.
The Trump response, from Politico:
On the same day Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) appeared alongside Hillary Clinton to savage Donald Trump for his past statements, not to mention his "goofy hat," the presumptive Republican nominee's campaign fired back with another word for the liberal firebrand senator: "sellout."

"As Clinton tries to salvage support among the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democrat Party, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has become a turncoat for the causes she supposedly supports," the campaign said in a statement with the subject line "Sellout Warren."

Noting that Warren has said Wall Street businesses have too much influence in Washington by paying "barely disguised bribes" as campaign contributions, the Trump campaign said Clinton has accepted more than $41 million during the presidential cycle from financial interests.

"Warren is also campaigning for the author of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a deal she has routinely slammed," the statement continues, although Clinton has said she no longer supports the trade deal despite having backed it in principle. "This is a trade deal that Clinton has expressed support for in over 45 public speeches. Warren’s campaigning for Clinton stands in stark contrast to the liberal ideals she once practiced."
Gary Johnson's response:


Trump totally owned that exchange! Warren's "goofy hat" comment looked something like this:

That puts Trump in the lead, with the score:
TRUMP 2
CLINTON/WARREN 0
JOHNSON/WELD 0
