Elizabeth Warren: Donald Trump would 'crush you into the dirt'

Source: CNN

Cincinnati (CNN)Elizabeth Warren unleashed a blistering attack against Donald Trump Monday in her debut on the 2016 campaign trail as one of Hillary Clinton's top surrogates.

Highlighting sharp contrasts between Clinton -- whom Warren endorsed earlier this month -- and Trump, Warren slammed Trump as a "a small, insecure money grubber" who would "crush you into the dirt."

"Now, Donald Trump says he'll make America great again ... It's stamped on the front of his goofy hats," Warren said. "You want to see goofy? Look at him in that hat."

Warren suggested that Trump was in it only for himself.
rich guys just like Donald Trump. That's who Donald Trump is. ... And you have to watch out for him, because he'll crush you into the dirt."

32. That's the weird thing
Mon Jun 27, 2016, 04:49 PM
Jun 2016

Donald Trump has five children from his three marriages. The oldest three, Don, Jr., Ivanka and Eric, are from his first marriage to Ivana. With Marla Maples, he had a daughter, Tiffany, who is about 22 years old. With his current wife, Melania, he has a son named Barron who is about 10 years old. Respectfully, each of them is seemingly intelligent and attractive; they shouldn't be judged by the disgusting life choices made by their father.

And yet, why doesn't he feature his younger children in his campaign? Granted, his youngest shouldn't be expected to make public statements. As we've seen before, their young age didn't stop Sarah Palin from bringing her brood onto the campaign trail with her.

Just askin'.

of residents abutting his golf course. Tried to buy them out. Tried eminent domain. Pushed mounds of dirt to tower over their homes. Cut their water lines. Made defamatory statements about their properties.

Don't think he wouldn't do the same for his supporters if he found it convenient.

She really knows how to rip the mask off him and expose him as the self-centered, narcissistic asshole he is.

Just watch him try some weak comeback which will blow up in his face.

Elizabeth Warren lavishes Hillary Clinton with praise in joint campaign appearance

By Bill Palmer | June 27, 2016 | 0




It’s commonplace to see people at Hillary Clinton campaign rallies chanting “Hillary! Hillary!” while pumping their fists in the air excitedly. But it was another thing entirely to see Senator Elizabeth Warren being the one leading the chant. And thus begins the next phase of the 2016 Presidential election, in which Clinton and Warren now come off as best buddies and political soulmates as they appear on stage arm in arm, as the nation turns on its television to try to figure out what it means for the election.

This morning in Cincinnati you saw Warren clapping emphatically in Clinton’s direction, as if to tell her progressive followers that they’d better support her in the election or else. You heard Clinton repeatedly referring to Senator Warren by her first name of “Elizabeth” in an intentional show of informality, while praising Warren’s work creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and thanking her for her attacks on Donald Trump.

More than a mere photo op of an event, Clinton and Warren each made a point of spelling out how much they’ve long agreed on politically. So maybe this a preview of the 2016 Democratic Party ticket, with the two strongest people in the party just happening to be women. Or maybe they have no desire to share a ticket together, and they’re just enjoying sharing a political party together. It’s tough to say where this goes, because they’re each too smart to fully show their hand.
........................

This is precisely the message that they both want to be conveying. It sets them each up for the kind of influence they’re looking for over the next several years. And this was merely their first campaign appearance together. .......................

WE ARE HERE TO FIGHT SIDE BY SIDE WITH HILLARY CLINTON. SO TODAY I WANT TO TALK ABOUT VALUES. HE ENDED UP AS A MAINTENANCE MAN AND AFTER HIS HEART ATTACK HIS -- AFTER HIS HEART ATTACK MY MOM ANSWERED PHONES AT SEARS TO KEEP OUR FAMILY ABOVE WATER. 288 COMBAT MISSIONS IN VIETNAM. AND I LEARN FROM HIM THAT WE HONOR OUR PROMISES TO OUR SERVICE MEMBERS AND VETERANS. AFTER MY MIDDLE BROTHER GOT OUT OF THE AIR FORCE, HE GOT A GOOD UNION JOB. A I LEARNED FROM HIM THAT UNIONS TILT AMERICA'S MIDDLE CLASS AND UNIONS WILL REBUILD. MY YOUNGEST BROTHER DAVID IS HE WORKED HIS REAR END OFF AREA -- REAR END OFF. TODAY ALL HE HAS LEFT HIS SOCIAL SECURITY. WE HONOR HARD-WORKING PEOPLE BY PROTECTING AND EXPANDING SOCIAL SECURITY. I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A TEACHER. IT OPENED $1 MILLION FOR ME. I LEARNED AMERICA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAN BUILD OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF OUR KIDS. I'M THE DAUGHTER OF A MAINTENANCE MAN. AND HILLARY CLINTON IS THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF A FACTORY WORKER WHO IS GOING TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE. WE BELIEVE IN THAT, AMERICA. BUT WE ARE WORRIED, WORRIED THOSE OPPORTUNITIES ARE SLIPPING AWAY. A LOT OF AMERICA IS WORRIED AND ANGRY. ANGRY THAT TOO MANY TIMES WASHINGTON WORKS FOR THOSE AT THE TOP AND LEAVES EVERYONE ELSE BEHIND. THE WASHINGTON THAT LET'S JOIN -- THAT LET'S GIANT OIL COMPANIES DOESN'T DOWN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX SUBSIDY. THAT WASHINGTON GIVES CORPORATION FAT TAX BREAKS FOR CEO BONUSES BUT WON'T RAISE THE MINIMUM WAGE, THAT WASHINGTON PUSHES CORPORATE INTEREST AND TRADE DEALS THAT WON'T CREATE GOOD JOBS HERE IN AMERICA.

HE WILL CRUSH YOU INTO THE DIRT TO GET WHATEVER HE WANTS, THAT IS WHO HE IS. JUST LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE. BILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN SUCKED OUT OF YOUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNT BECAUSE HE SAYS IT MIGHT BRING MORE RICH PEOPLE TO HIS NEW GOLF COURSE. HE CHEERED ON STUDENTS DESPERATE ENOUGH TO SIGN UP FOR HIS FAITH UNIVERSITY -- FOR HIS FAKE UNIVERSITY SO HE CAN BLEED THEM DRY AND TURN A PROFIT FOR HIMSELF. I WILL TELL YOU WHAT KIND OF A MAN -- A SMALL INSECURE MONEY GRUBBER WHO FIGHTS FOR NO ONE BUT HIMSELF. WHAT KIND OF A MAN? A NASTY MAN. HILLARY WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT FOR THE UNITED STATES. SHE KNOWS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A THIN-SKINNED BULLY WHO WAS DRIVEN BY GREED AND HATE. SHE HAS BEEN ON THE RECEIVING END OF ONE RIGHT-WING ATTACK TO ANOTHER AFTER 25 YEARS. SHE HAS NEVER BACKED DOWN. SHE DOESN'T RUN TO TWITTER. SHE DOESN'T WINE. SHE GETS UP AND KEEPS RIGHT ON FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE WHO NEED HER MOST. [APPLAUSE] HERE'S WHAT IT BOILS DOWN TO, HILLARY HAS BRAINS, HAS GUTS, HAS THICK SKIN AND STEADY HANDS, BUT MOST OF ALL SHE HAS A GOOD HEART. THAT IS WHAT AMERICA NEEDS AND THAT IS WHY I'M WITH HER. ARE YOU WITH HER? [APPLAUSE] THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT VALUES. DONALD VERSUS HILLARY. DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES IN DEFRAUDING STUDENTS TO BENEFIT HIMSELF. EVERY COULD SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IN EDUCATION WITHOUT GETTING CRUSHED BY DEBT. THAT MEANS REFINANCING STUDENT LOANS. DONALD TRUMP, HE BELIEVES SAD LITTLE WALL STREET BANKERS NEED TO BE FREE TO DEFRAUD ANYONE THEY WANT. HILLARY CLINTON BELIEVES WE NEED STRONG RULES TO PREVENT ANOTHER FINANCIAL CRISIS. HILLARY FIGHTS FOR US. DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO ABOLISH THE MINIMUM WAGE. HILLARY CLINTON BELIEVES NO ONE SHOULD WORK FULL TIME AND LIVE IN POVERTY. THAT MEANS RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE.

I'd say there's a good chance Ms. Warren will be our next VP. Not sure how I feel about that. I think she's doing a splendid job in the Senate and I'd hate to see her leave. However, MA is a solidly blue state and the next senator would likely be Dem. as well, so this wouldn't be a suicide move. I do think she'd be an awesome VP and would keep HRC on the left side of the tracks. Plus, she's great against the Drumpfenfurher.

I try to get them to see that Trump is all Con man. Elizabeth Warren is right. Trump will crush the middle class as soon as he gets the presidency. Why do I say that. Look at his past actions. Who has Trump really took the time to help voluntarily? Trump is only in it for himself. His actions say it all. Trump University, defaulting on promises and payments to suppliers, having the RNC pay for his campaign expenses.etc.

I try to say to my friends, the hard core Trump supporters, open your eyes. You see how Trump will act as a president by how he acts now as a private citizen.
