Elizabeth Warren's stiff resistance to a bipartisan banking deregulation bill is not a surprise to her colleagues. But her tactics are.
She punched directly on Friday at her fellow Democratic senators who backed a bill easing up on regulations passed after the 2008 financial crisis — slamming it as a Wall Street giveaway.
The attack escalated a feud among the caucus’ moderate and liberal members that’s simmered all week long and underscores the ideological rift within the party as it tries to claw its way back to power.
Democrats worry the internecine war will only undermine the party ahead of the 2018 and 2020 elections.
"This is Republicans' dream, which is to see Democrats work across the aisle and Elizabeth Warren kill them for it," said a third Democratic aide whose boss is frustrated with Warren.

17 D's voted with mcconnell, including VP kaine, warner, coons, carper, stabenow, peters, mccaskill, both women from NH, and FL's bill nelson who looked parkland's cameron kasky dead in the eye (no gun barrel to stare down) and refused to endorse an AR ban
by the way, did you hear connor lamb in PA18 is shooting what politico calls "machine guns" to win tim murphy's house seat?

the dccc took the unusual step of trashing its own candidate, too liberal for west houston burbs, she wrote an article in 2014 in which she said she'd rather have a tooth pulled without anesthesia than live in texas
in a party-of-kaepernick primary, how could she lose?
anyone the dnc touches is dead
all the big money candidates in texas lost, principled D's in texas are as anti establishment as maga itself
and then there's the farakhan problem...
it did what nikolas cruz failed to do, for starters, it killed the parkland kids
have you heard?
stay tuned
