Sen. Warren Has Some Ideas About Hillary Clinton's Platform (VIDEO)

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) ticked off a list of policy topics she'd like to hear former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton discuss more: minimum wage, equal pay for women, and trade policy.

Warren, who has repeatedly said she won't run for president in 2016, made the remarks in an interview on CBS's This Morning on Thursday.

"I'll tell you where I stand on minimum wage, I'll tell you where I stand on equal pay for equal work, I'll tell you where I stand on expanding —" Warren said before being cut off by CBS's Charlie Rose.

"Name to me one thing that you would like to see Hillary Clinton do and say and commit to that she has not committed to," Rose said.

"Well, I'd like to see her address all of these issues. We have a big debate going on right now on trade within the Democratic Party," Warren said. "I have real concerns about something called the investor-state dispute settlement that basically would permit multinational companies to sue other countries when they try to put regulations in place to protect their own workers, to protect their own citizens."

I'm beginning to strongly feel that WANTING it too badly is a dangerous thing.

Maybe we should be urging this intelligent and articulate Senator to run for the office.

beyond the fact that she wants to be president so she can be president.

Oh yeah, plus it's "her turn". And she's "inevitable".

Warren needs to enter the race if for no other reason than to force Clinton to commit to some specific policies that will help middle class Americans.
