Warren's Des Moines speech is faster with applause lines than any of her speeches so far: "Strengthen our unions," "health care is a basic human right," "join the rest of the world and provide child care."
Warren's stump also ends with a three-part framing of her agenda:
- Change the rules in Washington (anti-corruption)
- Change the rules of the economy (unions, health care)
- Change the rules of politics (voting rights, campaign finance reform)
- Change the rules in Washington (anti-corruption)

Also, if you're on WARREN COLD WATCH, she's actually recovered her voice during the speech -- just more warbly than usual.
Each speech is also ending with a kind of cri de coeur: "Dream big and fight hard."
