Shortly after Donald Trump wrapped up the GOP nomination for president on Tuesday, progressive stalwart Elizabeth Warren unleashed a devastating anti-Trump tirade on Twitter.

VIDEO: Would You Buy A Used Car From Donald Trump?
While most people were busy coming to terms with a Donald Trump victory, little attention was paid to the fact that Bernie Sanders had just won another upset victory over Hillary Clinton in Indiana. The Senator from Vermont trails the former diplomat and public speaker by just a few hundred delegates.

What would Bernie Sanders need to propel him ahead of Clinton and seal the Democratic nomination? An endorsement from Elizabeth Warren might be just the ticket. Trump is the most unpopular major party nominee in history, and guess which Democratic candidate performs best in a head-to-head matchup? It’s Bernie, bro.

Endorsing Sanders is the most natural course of action for Warren. They are both enemies of Wall Street, and have spoken out passionately against the corrupting influence of corporate money in politics. Warren has repeatedly called out bad actors such as Goldman Sachs and (especially) Citigroup for trying to advance the interests of the One Percent at the expense of working Americans.
Goldman Sachs & Northern Trust got $41M to manage workers’ pension funds, & they recklessly gambled it on junk bonds & toxic mortgages.

Note: Hillary Clinton made hundreds of thousands of dollars giving speeches to Goldman Sachs, and has refused to release the transcripts of those speeches.

Why would Elizabeth Warren ever endorse a candidate whose list of top political donors looks like this?
When she could endorse a candidate who isn’t under FBI investigation, and whose top political donors look like this?
The time is now for Warren to speak up and throw all her weight behind the only true progressive in the race, Bernie Sanders. He’ll occupy Wall Street so we don’t have to.
