Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Sunday that President Trump — who said during a rally last week that he'd like to test Warren to prove her Native American heritage, but would "have to do it gently because we're in the #MeToo generation," — "is a bully," both to her and to "women all across this country.”

"Donald Trump is a bully, and he tries to bully me in order to shut me up. And he's also trying to bully women all across this country. When he talks about 'Me Too' it isn't just me Donald Trump's going after; it's every woman who speaks up. And he thinks we should sit down and shut up? It's just not going to happen."

What to watch in tonight's Democratic debate

Bernie Sanders is now the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, and his opponents are ready to try to knock him down at tonight's debate in Charleston, South Carolina — especially Michael Bloomberg, who was the punching bag at the Las Vegas debate.

Why it matters: This is the last debate before Super Tuesday, when Sanders is expected to win California and Texas and could secure an insurmountable lead for the Democratic nomination. That's a direct threat to the entire field, but especially to Bloomberg, who skipped the early states to focus on the March 3 contests.
