WASHINGTON -- Elizabeth Warren has spent weeks absorbing attacks from moderate rivals looking to blunt her surging campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. Now, as the Massachusetts senator risks losing momentum, she's starting to hit back.
After a Democratic Party fundraiser in Boston on Thursday night, Warren blasted Pete Buttigieg, who is emerging as a leading moderate candidate in the lead-off Iowa caucuses set for Feb. 3. She criticized the South Bend, Indiana, mayor for holding closed-door fundraisers with big donors.
I think that Mayor Pete should open up the doors so that anyone can come in and report on whats being said, Warren said. Those doors shouldnt be closed, and no one should be left to wonder what kind of promises are being made to the people that then pony up big bucks to be in the room.

(1,701 posts)Not one bit. Bad move. Decisive. And counter-productive.
Another blunder in what up till the MFA fiasco was a near-perfect campaign.
Please do a re-think Sen Warren. I admire you. This is a bad move. A bad move for you. And a bad move for everyone.
