When Warren came to DC in 2009, it was for a job on a bank bailout oversight panel designed to be toothless. She made it a public forum for examining abuse and mismanagement, and she didn't pull her punches with other Democrats. Tim Geithner got the worst of it, and deserved it.

I don't know how any of this plays with primary voters this year. Democrats are scared. They're very sensitive about Obama and his legacy. They like other Democrats and don't like to see them fighting.

But Warren just isn't a kumbaya politician. She's a pugilist, and she's very good at it. That's why her debate performance last night was so impressive. She was doing what she does best, and Mike Bloomberg's campaign is in real trouble.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/real-elizabeth-warren-steps-up_n_5e4e0293c5b630e74c502a80 …

The unity message was a mistake. It hobbled her.

Last night reminded me of Warren grilling Wells Fargo Execs. I missed that.
