CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — Lock him up? Elizabeth Warren hinted Sunday that Donald Trump may be behind bars by the time the 2020 election rolls around, as part of an explanation to Iowa voters of why she has largely been ignoring his Twitter taunts. “Here’s what bothers me: By the time we get to 2020, Donald Trump may not even be president,” Warren told a Cedar Rapids crowd. “In fact, he may not even be a free person.” The direct jab at the president came a day after Trump mocked Warren’s official presidential announcement in Lawrence on Saturday.
