The next time you decide to call someone a loser, go all in and do it like Elizabeth Warren, giving specific examples and holding nothing back.
On Monday, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts shared on social media a laundry list of reasons why Republican frontrunner Donald Trump is a "loser," including his "failed businesses" and "scams like Trump University." She called him out for using "strategic corporate bankruptcy (excuse me, bankruptcies) to skip out on debt," and said his "embarrassing insecurities" prove that "Trump seems to know he's a loser." There is a caveat, Warren warned. "Just because Trump is a loser everywhere else doesn't mean he'll lose this election," she said. "People have been underestimating his campaign for nearly a year — and it's time to wake up."
Warren said a number of things hang in the balance: health care for millions of Americans, the Supreme Court, accountability for Wall Street, and affordable college. "More than anyone we've seen before come within reach of the presidency, Donald Trump stands ready to tear apart an America that was built on values like decency, community, and concern for our neighbors," she said. "Many of history's worst authoritarians started out as losers — and Trump is a serious threat. The way I see it, it's our job to make sure he ends this campaign every bit the loser that he started it."
