Clinton And Warren Electrify Ohio Crowd, Sparking Visions Of A Ticket

By Philip Rucker June 27 at 3:26 PM

CINCINNATI — If there were any doubt that Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren are the “it” couple of the moment in Democratic politics, it was silenced here Monday when they took the stage together for the first time.

The two nerdy wonks and feisty grandmothers, who built rival power centers on the political left but this spring gradually became allies, together electrified a crowd of thousands by locking their arms, punching the air and excoriating Donald Trump.

Clinton may be the one running for president, but Warren, her new surrogate and possibly future running mate, stole the show with her eviscerating takedown of Trump — and her enthusiastic endorsement of Clinton.

The Massachusetts senator labeled the presumptive Republican presidential nominee “a small, insecure money-grubber,” “a thin-skinned bully” and “a nasty man” who would “crush you into the dirt to get whatever he wants.” Then she critiqued his fashion choices.

1. It may not be a bad idea to handcuff Warren to Hillary

aah .. I mean for Warren to get the VP nod. If those two could bond and work
together like Biden & Obama, it might quell many of the anybody-but-Hillary
sentiments out there.

saw a new sparkle in Hillary’s eyes and a spring in her step. I say this even though I am a Sanders supporter. If she chooses Warren as her running mate, they will be UNBEATABLE!

I see party unity everywhere I look, and I credit Warren for making it happen. And she really is quite the campaigner. Hillary and Warren look like the dream team to kick rethug ass.
