Remember when I dreamed of a politician who would actually call Donald Trump a racist without beating around the bush?

Of course Elizabeth Warren answered the call.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren launched a blistering attack Thursday night at Donald Trump, calling the presumptive Republican presidential nominee a “fraud” and “thin-skinned, racist bully.”

She even threw in “fraud,” “thin-skinned” and “bully.” My hero.

There’s already speculation that Warren could be practicing for a role as Vice President nominee. She would certainly be an exciting pick, and one with which I’d be very happy. Her weakness, in my opinion, is that she’s not from a swing state, though her sheer following might overcome that.
