After Donald Trump slammed New Mexico's Republican Gov. Susana Martinez during a raucous rally in Albuquerque Tuesday night, her office is firing back.

“Gov. Martinez doesn’t care about what Donald Trump says about her. She cares about what he says he will do to help New Mexicans,” Martinez’s press secretary, Mike Lonergan, told ABC News in a statement. “She’s disappointed that she didn’t hear anything about that last night.”

Trump went after Martinez’s record during his New Mexico rally, quipping in jest that “maybe” he should run for governor of the state and “get this place going.”

“You’ve got to get your governor to do a better job. She’s not doing her job,” he said. He went on to say, “Syrian refugees are being relocated in large numbers to New Mexico. If I was governor, that wouldn’t be happening.”

I guess Trump is going all-in and catering to male gender resentment by picking a fight with a Republican Latina Governor who had previously been haled as an example as to why the GOP was neither racist or sexist. Instead, Trump accuses of not doing her job in appearing at his rally.

2. But she'll be endorsing that gasbag in no time. Falling in line like good little Pubes.

3. My dismal streak at predicting presidential tickets continues.

A few months ago, I predicted she would be Trump's running mate. Certainly didn't take long for that outcome to become almost virtually impossible. No way Donny Small-Hands is going to forget or forgive this.

4. I give her two weeks, and then she endorses this meat head-------------------

because she has to introduce this jerk at there "convention", it truly must be nice to be a "republican"

5. It's like he doesn't understand...

...that women can vote, and Mexican-Americans understand English.

8. I Guess He Believes That If He Is Abusive Toward Women, He Will Gets His Way

Unfortunately, the whole Megyn Kelley situation did not help matters. He was incredibly demeaning and sexist toward her. yet Fox News ultimately threw her under the bus with Megyn Kelley going out of her way to interview him at which time he minimized his comments toward her by saying that she had been called worse.

So, it will be interesting to see if Don the Douche's routine works again. Act in a sexist, insulting manner toward a woman, and wait until he gets his way.

6. Rubio, Bush, Kasich, Walker have all come to her defense

But I doubt that will matter at all to Trump supporters.

7. Not surprised Walker did. He hates the ground he-Trump-walks on.
