Elizabeth Warren:“He sounded like some two-bit dictator of some country you couldn’t find on a map.”



Stephen Colbert introduced Elizabeth Warren on Thursday's live, post–Republican National Convention Late Show as the "United States senator who has been dogging Donald Trump for months now on Twitter," and after Warren entered (to Europe's "The Final Countdown," for some reason), he immediately asked her about the GOP convention. She had some opinions. "I think it was the nastiest, most divisive convention that we've seen in half a century," she said.

Colbert asked if anger wasn't appropriate, and Warren conceded that "people are angry, and people have good reason to be angry.... But let's be really, really clear: Donald Trump does not have the answers." Colbert prodded her to see why Bernie Sanders supporters shouldn't "go over to Donald Trump," and Warren said that if you "scratch the surface a little bit and see what Donald Trump's really talking about, what he's really talking about is what he's talked about all his life, and that's how to improve the world for Donald Trump." The system is rigged, she said, but "that speech tonight? He sounded like some two-bit dictator of some country you couldn't find on a map."

She's going to be a powerhouse of all of Clinton's surrogates.

She's WAY too fucking good at this, and the VP nominee wouldn't be able to do it.

as the attack dog of the campaign, so I don't agree with you on that. She'd be a hella VP candidate. But the VP job would probably diminish her importance in a critical time for our country. We need her in the Senate.

I think we can flip the Senate, and having Liz Warren as a committee chair would be a much more effective position than VP.
