Democrats should unite around this issue. It is a winning issue.

Like preserving Social Security and Medicare this issue is wildly popular with voters. Imagine putting an end to Too Big to Fail. Imagine ending tax payer responsibility for crazy financial products.

Another issue popular with voters is a more progressive tax structure including reining in corporate tax abuses.

Then there is that nasty trade deal issue.

How about the military spending issue? The people want the Pentagon audited. While 60 Minutes focuses on Social Security fraud the military procurement system goes unexamined. What we do know about the MIC is very ugly indeed.

Elizabeth Warren could win the presidency in a landslide.
