Also, Bernie vs. IMF austerity, Haiti and Ecuador protests, remembering Thomas Sankara, Darth Trump, Bernie hits Biden, and Kamala's weird "ban Trump from twitter" gambit.

I get more hype about the Philly show each week!

In addition to movement v. technocrat, I would also draw a distinction using the Isaiah Berlin "Hedgehog" vs. "Fox" distinction. i.e. know one big thing and see things through one lens, versus drawing from a broad range of experiences. Warren's experience and worldview is more of a hedgehog, Sanders is a fox. How that translates into management style is another thing, but in terms of worldview, I think Sanders is able to synthesize and see the interrelationship between domestic and foreign policy in a way that Warren and most politicians simply do not. Also, you alude to this in the discussion, but I see Warren as a kind of mirror image of Obama. Obama had developed and thoughtful views on foreign policy and was able to assert himself in this area, but had a lot less developed view on economic policy, and effectively outsourced his work to Clinton holdovers. Warren has clear views on economic policy, but I agree that her tendency on foreign policy is likely going to be more adrift and dependent on the usual liberal interventionists for her foreign policy. e.g. the Iran nuclear deal happened, because Obama had confidence in his views on this issue and was willing to push forward even against opposition within the Dem coalition. I don't see Warren doing this. Think she would be better than Obama on domestic and economic policy, probably worse on foreign policy.
