How can you possibly convince a republican who is mad at Wall Street and the big banks that voting for Hillary Clinton is any more productive than voting for Jeb Bush?

I have republican friends that are very enamored of Elizabeth Warren, to the point where they expressed interest in voting for a Democrat for the first time in years if she ran. Bernie's message will appeal to them.
