Here’s Elizabeth Warren on Trump:

Donald Trump is now the leader of the Republican Party. It’s real – he is one step away from the White House. Here’s what else is real:

Trump has built his campaign on racism, sexism, and xenophobia. There’s more enthusiasm for him among leaders of the KKK than leaders of the political party he now controls.

He incites supporters to violence, praises Putin, and, according to a columnist who recently interviewed him, is “cool with being called an authoritarian” and doesn’t mind associations with history’s worst dictators.

He attacks veterans like John McCain who were captured and puts our servicemembers at risk by cheerleading illegal torture. In a world with ISIS militants and leaders like North Korean strongman Kim Jong-Un conducting nuclear tests, he surrounds himself with a foreign policy team that has been called a “collection of charlatans,” and puts out contradictory and nonsensical national security ideas one expert recently called “incoherent” and “truly bizarre.”

What happens next will test the character for all of us – Republican, Democrat, and Independent. It will determine whether we move forward as one nation or splinter at the hands of one man’s narcissism and divisiveness. I know which side I’m on, and I’m going to fight my heart out to make sure Donald Trump’s toxic stew of hatred and insecurity never reaches the White House.

It will be interesting to see which media figures, pundits, Republicans, and Independents denounce Trump or at least his tactics.  It will also be interesting to see how President Obama involves himself in this campaign once Bernie finally ends his personal journey for the nomination.

Update: At Talking Points Memo, Josh Marshall is recording the official position of all prominent Republican figures regarding Trump. He has a five point scale with endorsement at one end never Trump at the other end, with 3 different weasel spots in the middle.  To be clear, I am presuming most Republican officials and pundits will in fact endorse or at least support Trump. But not all, and it will be interesting to see exactly where everyone stands.  Check it out:
