66. Those hearings that Warren

held were the first time I recall hearing about banking and finance problems being discussed on such a scale for the consumer and in language that was not couched in jargon.

Sanders' registered on radar for me every time the Brady bill was up for a vote. Otherwise, he was a representative of Vermont. Was never aware of his speech, just his brusque nature when his votes on guns was discussed.

Liz Warren's actual work with the CFPB actually impacted my life more directly.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
