Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was on Wednesday's Late Show, and Stephen Colbert wanted to know one thing: Hillary or Bernie? "Bernie Sanders is calling for a 'revolution'; Hillary Clinton is not calling for a revolution, she believes slow and steady changes the D.C.," Colbert said. "Which one appeals to you more, Elizabeth Warren?" She didn't bite. But Warren had some strong opinions about Donald Trump.
Colbert set her up by arguing that she and Trump have some policies in common. "Both of you feel that guys on Wall Street are getting away with stuff that they shouldn't," Colbert said. "He wants to tax the hedge-fund guys — he thinks they're getting away with murder. Isn't there some unity there between you and Donald Trump?" Let's be really clear, Warren said. "Donald Trump is looking out for exactly one guy, and that guy's name is Donald Trump. That's the deal. He smells that there's change in the air, and what he wants to do is make sure that that change works really, really well for Donald Trump."
