Here's Sanders plan : Do whatever it takes, the fight starts on day one, and we go into details as it takes shape within government. I've also outlined ways to pay for it and the cost savings projected over the long term. This is a cultural fight that will involve changing the values in Washington to convince people and make M4A a reality. He has even said that yes, he would break Senate norms to do it.
It is a plan, quite literally. It's just not him getting into the weeds during the primary cycle. Sanders has put forth the argument and signaled his intents and tactics. This is exactly what you want to do in a primary, you don't want to get bogged down doing the stuff that should come after, because then you bungle it just like Warren did.
Warren doesn't get 'wins by default' on the 'Medicare for all' plan because she released a bad implementation road-map that isn't workable. Warrens plan is :
Nothing changes in Washington and you don't need to do anything.
But we can make it work by under estimating the cost by at least 10 trillion dollars, after passing immigration reform first that will magically generate hundreds of billions of dollars beyond what goes to the state and local level, after cutting defense spending by almost a trillion dollars, and after we successfully implement the Public Option with a laundry list of impossible caveats attached to that alone, and then, after the next round of elections where the Republicans would surely regain control of the senate or the house, Medicare for all.
Sanders battle plan is more realistic than any one of the items on Warrens list being attached as a prerequisite to Medicare for All, and if you can't see that or how this ship shod plan damaged her image as a policy wonk, I dunno what to say to you.
