"For those listening carefully, there were some notable moments in the Maddow interview with Senator Warren on Thursday evening. At one point, Warren attempted to show how cold and calculating the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump, was during the housing crash. Warren stated:
“'Look, I’ll pick one example when we talk about him and that is the housing crisis. Remember where Donald Trump was in this? In 2007, before the big explosion in 2008, a lot of people are starting to look around and say, whoa, we’ve got an inflated bubble here, there’s going to be trouble coming. And Donald Trump said, was quoted, he was excited for the crash because he knew how to make money off it. He was rooting for an economic crash because it was going to help line his pockets. What kind of a person does something like that? What kind of a person roots for people to be kicked out of their home? What kind of a person does that?'”
"This was the perfect opportunity for Maddow to say to Warren, 'Well, the kind of people that do something like that are the very people on Wall Street that are funding your endorsee’s political campaign.'
"Both Goldman Sachs and Citigroup made wagers that homeowners would default on their subprime mortgages after both firms participated in building this pile of toxic waste.
"Not only did Goldman Sachs personally pay Hillary Clinton $675,000 for three speeches but it and Citigroup rank among her top four lifetime political campaign donors according to the Center for Responsive Politics."

Warren's failure to support Bernie when it could have mattered makes me wonder if she's holding out hope for a VP spot with Clinton?
