Inside Biden and Warren's years-long feud

On a February morning in 2005 in a hearing room in the Dirksen Senate Office Building, Joe Biden confronted Elizabeth Warren over a subject they’d been feuding over for years: the country’s bankruptcy laws. Biden, then a senator from Delaware, was one of the strongest backers of a bill meant to address the skyrocketing rate at which Americans were filing for bankruptcy. Warren, at the time a Harvard law professor, had been fighting to kill the same legislation for seven years. She had castigated Biden, accusing him of trying “to sell out women” by pushing for earlier versions of the bill. Now, with the legislation nearing a vote, Biden publicly grappled with Warren face to face.

Warren, Biden allowed, had made “a very compelling and mildly demagogic argument” about why the bill would hurt people who needed to file for bankruptcy because of medical debt or credit card bills they couldn’t pay. But Biden had what he called a “philosophic question,” according to the Congressional Record’s transcript of the hearing that day: Who was responsible? Were the rising number of people who filed for bankruptcy each year taking advantage of their creditors by trying to escape their debts? Or were credit card companies and other lenders taking advantage of an increasingly squeezed middle class?

My impression was that

Mayor Pete stood out, followed by Liz Warren.

I've heard him explain this as

"The people of Vermont elected me as an Independent, so I honor that agreement with them" or words to that effect.

Honestly, this continuing complaint is semantical. Senate Democrats named him chairman of outreach in November of 2016, reflecting his importance to the party.

Here's a new one

Apparently since the polling software allows a large number of choices, I thought I’d create a poll with ALL the choices.

Agreed

He's actually only running for vice-president. I say that as a Texan.
