For the most part, Elizabeth Warren is focusing her presidential campaign on explaining her plans clearly and thanking her supporters personally — but she also has a few comebacks in her brightly colored blazer pocket, when needed. (Just ask the University of Houston Cougars.)
During Thursday night's Equality Town Hall on CNN, the Human Rights Campaign board chairman Morgan Cox asked Warren how she'd handle someone at a campaign event expressing opposition to marriage equality.
"Someone approaches you and says 'Senator, I'm old-fashioned, and my faith teaches me that marriage is between one man and one woman' — what is your response?" Cox asked.
"Well, I'm gonna assume it's a guy who said that," Warren began, to chuckles from the audience. "And I'm gonna say 'Well, then just marry one woman. I'm cool with that!'"
Then she added, over whoops and applause: "Assuming you can find one!"

It's an easy winning moment for Warren, but with a campaign that's overall more focused on practical solutions than cheap focus-grouped soundbites, she can afford to throw out a few cheeky one-liners.
She also promised a trans kid who asked her a question that as part of her plan to help transgender students feel safer in school, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos would be "gone."
