Warren and Sanders pounce as Biden enters the race [View all]

(CNN)Joe Biden is in -- and the knives are out.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts welcomed the former vice president to the 2020 Democratic primary on Thursday by reminding voters of their old clashes over the nation's bankruptcy laws.

"I got in that fight because (families) just didn't have anyone and Joe Biden was on the side of the credit card companies," Warren said after being asked about the issue following a rally in Iowa. "It's all a matter of public record.
"
The nearly two-decade-old Warren-Biden feud is, indeed, well documented. Warren has, in multiple interviews and op-eds, criticized Biden, during his time in the Senate, over his role in moving along legislation she believed would benefit big banks at the expense of working and middle-class Americans.

So true tymorial Apr 2019 #76

If that's pouncing, okay, then we need a "pouncer" like Elizabeth... she's AWESOME!! InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #19

Bernie and Elizabeth in 2020... louis c Apr 2019 #23

It's okay, if Warren wins, she is not picking Sanders. marylandblue Apr 2019 #30

Sanders would take Wisconsin and Michigan liberalnarb Apr 2019 #37

But lose Virginia and North Carolina and Florida... louis c Apr 2019 #43

Obama didn't win North or South Carolina or Georgia or a majority of southern states in 2012. liberalnarb Apr 2019 #45

Please reread the post... louis c Apr 2019 #52

It's the content of the email, not just the subject line - it attacked Biden. George II Apr 2019 #28

Good for her PatSeg Apr 2019 #33

I got the e-mail. liberalnarb Apr 2019 #38

That takes a disingenuous shot at: George II Apr 2019 #40

Except that they are. liberalnarb Apr 2019 #44

Here's the other email from Sanders on the right: George II Apr 2019 #53

So what? liberalnarb Apr 2019 #56

The issue is he's running as a Democrat, yet he takes shots at the Democratic Party.... George II Apr 2019 #60

"The Political Establishment" is not The Democratic Party as a whole. liberalnarb Apr 2019 #61

So much this and then has the audacity to state that the Democrats must band together to beat trump tymorial Apr 2019 #77

It's funny how the first to pounce are the candidates who are newest to the Dem party. nt UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #5

It's funny how some candidates watoos Apr 2019 #7

It's funny how some candidates can't get big money donations. stonecutter357 Apr 2019 #10

Joe Biden won't be shy about that. He's welcoming money from Republican donors as well. Demit Apr 2019 #12

if that is what it takes to beat putin / trump ! stonecutter357 Apr 2019 #24

So? ANY candidate will need the support and votes of republicans to be elected president. George II Apr 2019 #57

Votes, maybe--in the general election. But financial support? In a primary? Demit Apr 2019 #65

THIS!!!! +1,000 InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2019 #20

Remember, NO single person can contribute more than $2800/yr. To many of us that's a "big money"... George II Apr 2019 #48

I'll bet they are higher up on your list...since you're starting at the bottom. UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #73

Warren has been a Democrat since 1996 Celerity Apr 2019 #9

She was a Republican until she was in her 40's. honest.abe Apr 2019 #42

She didn't vote for Reagan. liberalnarb Apr 2019 #47

Really.. see below.. honest.abe Apr 2019 #49

Yes, really: liberalnarb Apr 2019 #50

Then why didn't she say that in her 2011 interview with the Daily Beast? honest.abe Apr 2019 #51

Why would she vote for him the second time if she opposed him the first? liberalnarb Apr 2019 #54

If she didnt then why wouldn't she simply say that in that Daily Beast interview? honest.abe Apr 2019 #55

One reason could be that it was 2011. liberalnarb Apr 2019 #58

I dont get your logic. Are you saying she was afraid to tell the truth? honest.abe Apr 2019 #59

I'm saying that at this time the dialogue has swung left. liberalnarb Apr 2019 #63

she was only a registered Republican from 1991 to 1996, after she moved to PA Celerity Apr 2019 #66

And an Independent before that who voted for Republicans. honest.abe Apr 2019 #67

in terms of POTUS the only Repug she voted for was Ford, but liked Carter, voted for him in 1980 Celerity Apr 2019 #68

She never denied voting for Reagan. honest.abe Apr 2019 #75

you keep pushing that old 2011 article, my links are to a more detailed one that is 7 years newer Celerity Apr 2019 #78

I dont see a single link in the post I replied to. honest.abe Apr 2019 #79

here, once again, is the link and a snapshot of the post I replied TO YOU that contained it Celerity Apr 2019 #81

Its simply odd she refused to confirm whom she voted for back then in that interview. honest.abe Apr 2019 #84

+1000 stonecutter357 Apr 2019 #11

also, Warren didnt register as a Republican until 1991, and almost never voted for a Repub POTUS Celerity Apr 2019 #36

Where is the link that states she voted for Mondale in 1984? honest.abe Apr 2019 #80

I have sent it to you multiple times, and also posted a large excerpt explaining just that Celerity Apr 2019 #82

Nope. I did a text search of the articles you sent and nothing regarding 1984 vote. honest.abe Apr 2019 #83

Now THAT is disingenuous liberalnarb Apr 2019 #46

I was being a little shit !!!! UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #71
