... but I would feel she would be better if she were presidential leadership than in the senate, but I don't think she would be better in a cabinet, court justice, or VP position, where I don't think her leadership skills will be used as effectively for the changes we need and she needs to be the voice for.

Most VPs are better in that position if they are good diplomats, rather than people trying to affect policy, which is the opposite of where Warren's skill sets are, which is why I wouldn't support her as VP for Hillary. Maybe for someone like Bernie Sanders, as her voice for change in that case wouldn't be as needed, and she could be groomed then to follow Bernie as president in that case. But otherwise, stay in the Senate if not getting elected president.

That puts her in charge of most public assistance programs. God's knows the poor need someone ethical and compassionate there...

We need people like Warren crafting legislation, not filling a position on a presidential cabinet.
