Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s big selling point when she entered the 2020 Democratic primary was that she is a policy wonk whose campaign would be policy heavy, with an added focus on policy.

But the Democratic base may now be a bit like the Republican base in 2016: They do not want a candidate who will talk numbers so much as they want someone who will act as an unabashed antagonist against the incumbent party. They want a “fighter,” someone who “says it like it is” and all that.
