I heard this on CNN this morning. I have to admit, I found it odd that he trashed her because I had heard she was a potential VP candidate. I guess not.

Does anyone know if she's popular there? If not, I suppose that makes sense. But it seemed an odd ploy to me.

Guess she’s kinda off the VP shortlist then.

This is how we know these VP leaks are baloney. Martinez has never been a consideration for TRUMP.

Next Trump Tweet:

Failed New Mexico governor sends rent a mob to attack hero police and calls me the bully. Unbelievable!

Why would you want her on the ticket when she’s been a life-long Demorat who just recently “converted” to the GOP?

Martinez started it. Trump is counterpunching.

All you need to know about Martinez you can get from that phone call to the cops while she was drunk at a party.

This clown should not be in any public office, let alone governor.

"New Mexico’s governor, Susana Martinez, chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, did not mince words: She told the crowd of about 60 wealthy GOP backers that, as a Latina, she was offended by Trump’s language about immigrants. Noting her years working as a prosecutor on the Mexican border and now as a border-state governor, Martinez said Trump’s plan to build a wall and force Mexico to pay for it was unrealistic and irresponsible, according to multiple people in attendance."

People gossip and spread rumors, and then say Trump is possibly doing this, doing that, as if they have some sort of inside info when in fact they are just joining in with social chatter boxes.

Martinez popular or not, the key takeaway is Trump is speaking the truth regardless. Martinez wants the Obama/GOPe money and has consented to bring in the Syrian Trojan Horse.

"Since 2000, the number of people on food stamps in New Mexico has tripled," Trump said. "We have to get your governor to get going. She's got to do a better job. Okay? Your governor has got to do a better job. She's not doing the job."

Martinez has been in office since 2011. How does New Mexico's standing in terms of unemployment, people on food stamps, etc. now compare to what she inherited?

I never saw her as President, navigating Congress, or handling foreign relations. It would have been transparent pandering.

New Mexico has voted Democrat in 5 of the past presidential elections. Given the demographics, I’m not sure that’s a state is a likely winner for Mr. Trump anyway.

it’s Trump’s way of getting Republicans in line:

“If you’re not with us, I’m against YOU.”

He has truth on his side, however.. Martinez, like her many predecessors, has done nothing to turn the NM welfare state into anything close to self-sufficiency.

I'm sure to some, she is. More than anything, she's really not done much of anything to turn us around after Richardson's follies.

That being said, there's only so much she can do against a Dem-controlled Senate. The Republicans control the House, but barely, and often can't get anything done there, either.

You have to remember she followed Bill Richardson. It wasn’t hard for her to look good, when he left our state in financial ruin.

She did a lot to get our finances better and she did try to get our state to quit handing out driver’s licenses to criminals.

I don’t agree with what she said about Trump, she is either ignorant of his actual stance or more likely pandering to radical Hispanic groups. Not good.

“Unruly” how exactly?

Other than the Communists and Mexicans rioting outside?

She was drunk-calling & trying to humiliate a desk worker & a cop at a hotel she was partying in.....plus she hates Trump. She’s worthless.
