Snip: Webb and Sanders offered messages of strong support for middle-class workers and unions. But Warren was the clear favorite.
“Why is there no money to make our country work?” she asked to cheers. “I’ll tell you why. It’s because the game is rigged. It’s because oil companies have great lobbyists.” She blasted away at NASCAR owners, thoroughbred breeders and big banks.
“They won’t give up their special perks,” she insisted. “The only thing that will make a real difference is if we work together.”
After she spoke, Warren gave about 40 Massachusetts firefighters a fiery pep talk at a nearby hall. “I’ve got your back,” she said, almost shouting, “and I’ll do everything I can for you.”
