Elizabeth Warren to call Trump a 'nasty, thin-skinned fraud.' Presidential race to dominate Romney's E2 Summit. Draft of Utah's anti-fed lawsuit expected.
Happy Thursday. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who may be on the short list as a possible running mate for Hillary Clinton, is on a tirade against Donald Trump and is expected today to lay into the GOP nominee, calling him "a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud" who used "racism" to further his bid. She's also planning to tie fellow GOP leaders to his rants: "Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell want Donald Trump to appoint the next generation of judges."
