Photo: Jim Watson/AFP via Getty Images Senator Elizabeth Warren, who opened last week’s Democratic primary debate in Nevada with a brutal attack on Michael Bloomberg, used her first remarks in Tuesday’s debate to attack front-runner Bernie Sanders — the most direct criticism she has yet leveled at the candidate.
In an attempt to draw a contrast with Sanders, arguing that she is the one who has successfully worked to implement the policies they both believe in. She quickly transitioned to health care. “Bernie and I both want to see universal health care,” she said. “But Bernie’s plan doesn’t explain how we’re going to get there.” After noting she had released a detailed plan to fund and implement Medicare for All, she added, “I dug in, I did the work, and then Bernie’s team trashed me for it.”
“We need a president who’s actually going to dig in and do the hard work and actually get it done,” she said. “I would be a better president than Bernie,” she continued, claiming the upcoming election was progressive’s “one shot” to bring change.
