FILE - In this June 2, 2012 file photo, Massachusetts Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren speaks in Springfield, Mass. Liberals have groused about President Barack Obama since he was elected, lamenting a lack of progress on issues they hold dear. Even so, most liberal voters are expected to vote for Obama in November over Republican Mitt Romney. But there's no guarantee that liberals, if they continue to be dissatisfied, will turn out to man phone banks and canvass neighborhoods this fall. His fundraising efforts could also take a hit. Their latest beef: that Obama needs to take the fight to Wall Street, much like Warren, the Democratic Senate nominee in liberal-leaning Massachusetts, who has built a national brand around the us-versus-them rhetoric that took root over the past year in the encampments of the Occupy Wall Street movement. For Obama, taking up the Occupy cause as overtly as that carries risks in the dozen or so competitive states that will determine who wins the White House. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer, File) MORE LESS

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is expected to go after presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump in a speech Thursday where she’ll call him a “thin-skinned fraud,” among other things, according to The Washington Post.

Warren and Trump have been engaged in a Twitter battle. for weeks. Warren has taken Trump to task over his rhetoric toward women, while Trump has repeatedly called Warren “Pocahontas” in reference to her Native American heritage.

Warren, in a speech to the American Constitution Society, is expected to call Trump a “loud, nasty, thin-skinned fraud,” according to an advance copy of her speech obtained by the Post.

She also plans on criticizing House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) for continuing to support Trump after the real estate mogul attacked U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s “Mexican heritage.”

“Paul Ryan condemned Trump’s campaign for its attacks on Judge Curiel’s integrity. Great,” Warren is expected to say, according to her prepared remarks. “Where’s Paul Ryan’s condemnation of the blockade, the intimidation, the smears, and the slime against the integrity of qualified judicial nominees and Judge Garland?”

  1. you go, Senator Warren! Keep getting under his very thin skin!

  2. I enthusiastically support Senator Warren as our vice presidential nominee. She would galvanize the ticket like a lightening bolt.

    I understand about control of the senate, but the presidency for 4-8 years is a light year ahead of an interim Republican senator for 3-6 months (until a special election). Senator Warren would propel the ticket into an almost insurmountable position. That is a very big deal.

    I also understand those that feel that her role and influence would be diminished as a vice president. I think that she would make the job fit her, rather than her fitting the job. With her talents, energy, and communication skills she could completely redefine the office.

    And finally, let us not forget, the nomination and election of Senator Warren as a U.S. Vice President would be history SQUARED!

    An electrifying campaign, the presidency, a charismatic vice president, and two glass ceilings in shatters.

    That’s a pretty solid list of upsides.

    Not to mention that they both know how to KICK BUTT.
