Who Would Be Best To Clean Up The Corruption That Led to Trump? [View all]

Warren has made corruption her highest priority with plans in place to deal with the corruption that makes it so difficult to get anything else done in Washington. Revolving doors for lobbyists, sweetheart deals for cronies and family members, campaign skulduggery, etc.

I can't see anyone who is cozy with Wall Street as an effective combatant, and Warren is certainly not someone who is cozy with Wall Street.
