Warren and Sanders basically never attack the other candidates directly. They just keep talking about their very liberal policy plans, respond to attacks from the more moderate candidates and then restate those liberal ideas. Is this a good strategy? I don’t know what attacking from the left would look like, but maybe they should try it?
