Donald Trump is an “insecure money-grubber,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren told assembled Massachusetts Democrats at the party’s state convention Saturday.

He is also, according to Warren’s prepared remarks: scary, loud, outrageous, offensive, small, a failure and fraudster in chief.


Those are just a handful of the bombs Warren hurled Trump’s way in her Saturday afternoon address, after which she told reporters that she doesn’t believe in the superdelegate process and has “no timetable” for making an endorsement in the Democratic presidential race.

During her speech, the Massachusetts senator attacked Trump on issues ranging from climate change to Wall Street to women. Warren spent significant time echoing recent attacks by Hillary Clinton on Trump University, the Republican presumptive nominee’s troubled real-estate seminar program.

“It was like a used-car dealership — except that’s not fair to used-car dealerships,” Warren said of Trump University. “His playbook said to look for people with problems; they make good targets.”

“These were ordinary folks who were targeted because they had problems and Trump saw they were vulnerable and he could make a buck,” she continued. “Here’s a man who builds a business to profit off other peoples’ pain. He wants to be commander in chief, but he’s only qualified to be fraudster in chief.”

Warren, who has not officially endorsed a candidate in the Democratic primary, said that she is “proud of the debate that Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have had. Proud that we are a party that doesn’t debate over who has the tiniest hands or who can build the longest, tallest, stupidest wall between us and Mexico.”

From there, Warren launched into a laundry list of Trump’s policies, highlighting areas in which the GOP candidate’s views differ from hers and her party’s. She called Trump a “union buster” and ridiculed him as a “climate change denier.” She said he is “all about money.”

“These are the values we fight for,” Warren said. “These are the values that will beat Donald Trump.”

After her speech, Warren told reporters she doesn’t believe in her party’s superdelegate process.

“I’m a superdelegate, and I don’t believe in superdelegates,” Warren said in comments that came after the state party voted on a resolution to “thoroughly, objectively, and transparently” study the superdelegate process ahead of the 2020 presidential race.

Warren said she agreed that the process should be scrutinized.

Asked whether Sanders should leave the race next week, Warren demurred.

“Sanders has brought a lot of energy to this campaign, and that is a decision for Bernie Sanders to make,” she said.

Asked whether her role is to unite the party, the senator replied, “I think the party is united.”

“I’m in this fight all the way to try to stop Donald Trump,” she said, adding that she is “going to try to help out every way I can.”
