“You want to see goofy, look at him in that hat,” Warren said.

She then made fun of Trump’s big golf course trip to Scotland over the weekend and mocked the idea that he was really a “man of the people.”

“When Donald Trump says ‘great,’ I say, ‘Great for who, exactly?’ For families that don’t fly to Scotland to play golf?” she asked rhetorically. “When he says ‘Make America Great’ he means make it great for rich guys just like Donald Trump… Watch out, because he will crush you into the dirt to get what he wants.”


The speech wasn’t just about Trump, however, as she also praised presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for being a tough fighter who has what it takes to beat Trump.

“She knows you beat a bully not by tucking your tail and running, but by standing your ground and fighting back,” Warren said of Clinton. “She doesn’t whine, she doesn’t run to Twitter to call her opponents ‘fat pigs’ or ‘dummies.’ … Hillary has brains, she has guts, she has a thick skin.”

on our hands - Clinton and Warren. They bring out the best in each other. Hillary always says she is not a natural campaigner and Elizabeth seemed to give her confidence.

Now if we can just overcome losing Elizabeth from the Senate. I heard somewhere that one of the Kennedy's might run for her seat when they have the special election to fill her chair.

Warren just brings so much energy to Hillary, I think they probably have to pull the trigger on this.

Yes, it puts the Mass Senate seat up, but it seems better to play your strongest hand for POTUS, to make sure you get that, and also have the strongest down ticket effect.

I have said Hillary can't make an uncle joe pick, BHO could because he was the show, but while Kaine is OK, he is bland. Might help make sure VA goes their way, but other than that, he doesn't help a lot.

It would be nice to go with a Hispanic, but the dyanics of this election are that PA, Ohio, Wisky are the demish states that are most at risk, and a Hispanic might not help in those states with the drummed up immigration shit.
