U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, took aim at presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s remarks regarding a federal judge Thursday, saying that he should be ashamed of himself. From here, she will have to contend with a Republican opponent, Donald Trump, who has sent every signal that he will run a campaign that is entirely disrespectful – of her personally, of the truth, of minority groups, of the media and of a variety of basic democratic norms. Clinton has a 51% favorability among women, according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll, while 47% have an unfavorable view of her. Instead he told the crowd that, to have an impact, they need to stick together: “We need real change in this country”, he said.

Warren joined Clinton in jabbing at Trump on Monday, backing up the candidate when she told her republican rival to delete his Twitter account.
Clinton will note that Trump – who has repeatedly praised Planned Parenthood – has argued there should be punishment for women seeking abortions, the aide added, and criticize him for telling Fox News that the best way to ban abortion “is by electing me president”. After Ted Cruz and John Kasich dropped out, Trump went to work meeting with Republican leaders, many of whom had publicly opposed him during the primary.
In an apparent attempt to walk back his potentially damaging comment, Rendell called in later and explained that Warren would have the same shortcomings that he would have. Clinton later declined to respond when asked if Warren is a potential running mate. The attack on judge Gonzalo Curiel has led even many of Trump’s allies to decry his actions, with Ben Carson saying publicly that Trump was wrong in his attack.
Bernie Sanders reportedly does not want Sen.
Warren, a favorite of liberals, is believed to be under consideration to be Clinton’s vice presidential running mate.
Warren threw her support behind Clinton Thursday night, following President Barack Obama. Yet the Donald wasn’t finished, because as soon as the regular business day began Friday he’d already published his first insult.
As a life-long Democrat, it is with a humble heart that I am faced with voting for someone I do not feel represents me or America.
Many expect Clinton to receive a bump in national polling after becoming her party’s presumptive nominee and hitting the campaign trail focusing exclusively on Trump. You should be ashamed of yourself – ashamed for using the megaphone of a presidential campaign to attack a judge’s character and integrity simply because you think you have some God-given right to steal people’s money and get away with it.

The Massachusetts senator was noncommittal to the suggestions that she would accept Clinton’s invitation to be on her ticket, stressing that she enjoyed the political freedom afforded her in Congress.
