Elizabeth Warren is the unity candidate we need

Elizabeth Warren is uniquely positioned to be the best candidate to run against Trump. She fits in the middle of the progressive and moderate camps and she just might be the key to securing both sets of voters.

Her campaign is run on the slogan, "she has a plan for that," and that is most certainly true. From how to remove student loan debt from day one in office, to plans for the environment, to Medicare For All. One quick look at her website and she has it all; how to rebuild the middle class, end corruption in Washington and hold Trump accountable for his crimes.

Elizabeth has the plans, intelligence and fighting spirit to win her the presidency. She is a vibrant and energetic person who is always thinking one step ahead. She's someone who has worked as a teacher, professor and most recently a senator. She has seen both sides of how government works and how it affects people. With her experience, she's the best candidate to actually get things done.

After Iowa and New Hampshire, Elizabeth is in third place in total delegate count. This is the time to stick by her. With 98% of delegates still up for grabs, she is far from out of this race. Many polls show that people would be least disappointed if she were the nominee and she is many people's second choice.

This would sound terrible, except that it is a testament to just how strong her campaign is in bringing people together. If both progressives and moderates would be happy to have her as the candidate, then why not elect her and bring the whole party together?

As Elizabeth would say, "choose courage," and vote for the person most likely to bring the party together and beat Trump.
