Summary

When Donald Trump says great, I think, great for who, exactly? ... For families that don’t fly to Scotland for golf? ... He means make it even greater for rich guys like Donald Trump ... Watch out because he will crush you into the dirt to get whatever he wants. That’s who he is.

– Elizabeth Warren

2. Warren: ‘I’m with her’

Warren remembered to say nice things about Clinton. “Hillary has brains,” she said. “She has guts. She has thick skin and steady hands. But most of all, she has a good heart. And that’s what America needs. And that’s why I’m with her.”

3. Trump replies: Warren ‘racist’

After the rally, Trump gave a dyspeptic interview to NBC News in which he referred to Warren’s disputed Native American heritage. “We call her Pocahontas for a reason,” he said.

– Donald Trump, confusingly. Separately, Trump said of Warren, ‘I think she’s a racist’

4. Kasich shrugs at Trump ultimatum

In reply to a Trump ultimatum that only people who endorsed him would get to speak at the GOP convention, an aide to Ohio governor John Kasich said: “We have not asked for a speaking slot and have zero expectations of receiving one.”
