Elizabeth Warren's entire speech at a judicial conference in Washington D.C.. I urge you to watch the entire 30 plus minutes.

Courtesy of CBS News:  

Speaking at a judicial conference in D.C. on Thursday night, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren unleashed one of her strongest attacks yet on presumptive GOP nominee and "wannabe tyrant" Donald Trump over his rhetoric on judges -- and his troubles over Trump University. 

"Donald Trump is a loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud who has never risked anything for anyone and serves no one but himself," she told members of the American Constitution Society. "And that is just one of the many reasons why he will never be President of the United States."

.....

"Donald Trump has run into a lot of legal trouble," she said. "Ah yes, Trump University, which his own former employees refer to as a 'fraudulent scheme.'"

.....

"You shame yourself and you shame this great country," she told Trump. "Judge Curiel can't respond, but we can.... He is one of countless American patriots who has spent decades quietly serving his country, sometimes at great risk to his own life," she said. "Judge Curiel has survived far worse than Donald Trump. He has survived actual assassination attempts," Warren said. "He will have no trouble surviving Trump's nasty temper tantrums." 

You have undoubtedly seen clips of this speech, but I decided that it was important to post it in its entirety.

Elizabeth Warren does not simply go after Donald Trump, she eviscerates him.

And beyond that she demonstrates. without a shadow of a doubt in my opinion, why SHE is the absolutely best person to be Hillary Clinton's Vice President.

Hillary needs her. We need her. And America needs her.

So before any of you start with that garbage about how she can do so much more in the Senate, here are two words, Joe Biden.

Now Joe Biden was a popular and effective Senator for decades, but nobody could argue that as Vice President he has risen to a greater stature, and had a larger impact on the future of this country, than he ever could have hoped for while toiling away in the Senate.

As a Vice President Elizabeth Warren will be able to push forward many of the policies that Bernie Sanders promised but never had any hope of delivering.

She can do more at Hillary Clinton's side, being the voice of the working class, than she could ever hope to accomplish even if she spent another two decades as the Senator for Massachusetts.

And that my friends is just a fact.

    Regardless of being told that this name calling is offensive, Trump's limp dicked response on Twitter was -

    "Pocahontas is at it again! Goofy Elizabeth Warren, one of the least productive U.S. Senators, has a nasty mouth. Hope she is V.P. choice."

    Warren's speech was terrific and I actually cheered and laughed and at one point did a fist pump.

      It's hilarious how he calls her ineffective. He has no idea what she has accomplished and how important she was in getting us through the 2008-on recession. And no way is he paying attention to what she's doing now in Congress. I loved how, a week or so ago, she corrected him on that she didn't go to Harvard. Her degree is from elsewhere. She was happy to admit she didn't go to such a prestigious school. And the funny thing is, she didn't get a degree from Harvard and yet was asked to teach there and for so many years. I loved Warren's speech yesterday and so loved her comparison of Curiel and Trump and that remark she made about Trump's lack of service.

      Trump's IQ is 118. Warren's is 150+

    I watched her give this speech, she was "fired up!" She was still enthusiastic while on the Rachel Maddow show. I think that she is a great choice for VP. Who says there has to be a man on the ticket? Let's all remember to vote no matter who's on the ballot with Hillary. That is of vital importance to keep tRump away from the Whitehouse.

Now, gather yourself, and reboot Hillary, and watch yourself. Another boo boo like that and even I as a voter can't help you. The Republicans are standing by and waiting.

    Democrats Will Learn All the Wrong Lessons From Brush With Bernie

    Instead of a reality check for the party, it'll be smugness redoubled

    ...Politicians are so used to viewing the electorate as a giant thing to be manipulated that no matter what happens at the ballot, they usually can only focus on the Washington-based characters they perceive to be pulling the strings. Through this lens, the uprising among Democratic voters this year wasn't an organic expression of mass disgust, but wholly the fault of Bernie Sanders, who within the Beltway is viewed as an oddball amateur and radical who jumped the line.

    Nobody saw his campaign as an honest effort to restore power to voters, because nobody in the capital even knows what that is. In the rules of palace intrigue, Sanders only made sense as a kind of self-centered huckster who made a failed play for power. And the narrative will be that with him out of the picture, the crisis is over. No person, no problem.

    Now some new general election polls are coming out, and sure enough, Clinton's showing some momentum. A new Reuters/Ipsos survey has her up by eight points; IDB/TIPP has her up five. Even Rasmussen — which had Trump leading by five points in mid-May — now has Clinton leading by four. And all these results are occurring before it sinks in that Clinton has now locked up her nomination and made history. What's more, on Thursday afternoon Fox News came out with a survey showing a six-point swing from a three-point Trump lead in May to a three-point HRC lead now.

    More than 2.5 million ballots from California's June 7 primary are still uncounted, sparking questions about the results of the presidential contest in which Hillary Clinton emerged the winner and leaving the fate of local races in the air as poll workers continue to grapple with reports of voter difficulties.

    According to the Los Angeles Times, the uncounted ballots would put the total voter turnout at around 8.5 million, or around 47 percent of all registered voters. While the results are unlikely to impact Clinton's win in the state, Bernie Sanders said Thursday he expected the final tally would show a closer race—one more in keeping with polls that predicted a nail-biter.

    "I look forward to the full counting of the votes in California, which I suspect will show a much closer vote than the current vote tally," Sanders said after a meeting with President Barack Obama, who then went on to endorse Clinton.

    Los Angeles County, which on Tuesday voted 57 percent for Clinton versus 42 for Sanders, reported more unprocessed ballots than any region at roughly 616,000. San Diego County, where Clinton won 55 percent to Sanders' 44, had 285,000 uncounted ballots.

    Many of those were 'provisional' ballots, which are given to voters whose party registration cannot be determined on the day of the election. The LA Times wrote on Tuesday:
