Biden attacks Warren's approach to health care as 'elitism'

Former Vice President Joe Biden is escalating attacks on Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, decrying her "elitism" and her "my way or the highway" approach to politics amid a heated debate over health care.

"It's representative of an elitism that working- and middle-class people do not share: 'We know best; you know nothing.' 'If you were only as smart as I am, you would agree with me,'" Biden wrote in a post on Medium Tuesday evening. He was responding to comments Warren made in Iowa last week that the former vice president is "running in the wrong presidential primary" and "repeating Republican talking points."

Biden's words mark the opening of a new line of attack from the former vice president against one of his chief Democratic rivals, and they come as the two are set to spar again on the debate stage in Atlanta later this month.

"This is no way to get anything done. This is no way to bring the country together. This is no way for this party to beat Donald Trump," Biden wrote on Medium.

Warren's comments came in response to criticism from the Biden campaign that her plan to pay for "Medicare for All" is unrealistic, an argument made by both moderate Democrats and Republicans.

What he says is true but of course he was told to write this because he IS one of the “elites” he is bashing.

Or maybe he REALLY thinks he is the “common guy”?

Could he be that deluded?

"Could he be that deluded?"

Activist politicians are almost all delusional. Ironically, as a general rule of thumb, if your background consists primarily of a law degree you don't use, and an academic position, you likely have a level of knowledge and worldliness that shouldn't allow you to potty train puppies, let alone tell the rest of the population what's good for them and how they should live.

Joe Biden has been deluded (in a non-clinical way) for decades. This is the same man who thought that plagiarizing Neil Kinnock (then leader of the Britain’s Labour Party) of all people was a good idea.

He was genuinely surprised when he was called out on this during the 1988 Presidential campaign.

BIDEN——WARREN——SANDERS—— HARRIS-—BOOKER....

None of them have the sense to come in out of the rain & lightning.
