The
Democratic presidential primary has entered an unkinder, less gentle phase that presages more fireworks at the next debate later this month.

Elizabeth Warren with directness he’d avoided until now.
Warren and Sanders have traded barbs with
Joe Biden over their Medicare for All plans, which Pete Buttigieg has also criticized.
