But way back in another corridor in another room, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren fought an unpublicized uncontentous battle all afternoon to help 3.5 million poor in Puerto Rico from being ripped off by vulture fund organizations.

And he has got one helluva plan - in speech and in writing - in mind to do it.
