Compare to Gov. Jay Inslee that Chris Hayes had on earlier. I'm sure he is just as passionate about the environment as Elizabeth is about issues, but he can't sell it.

Treasury Secretary, Fed Reserve Governor or Labor Secretary in a Dem administration. She gathers facts, does research and makes decisions based on that information. She'd dive into the details and we'd get excellent policy recommendations that start to level the playing field between the haves and have nots. She might be to the next Dem president as Harold Ickes was to FDR working behind the scenes to implement change.

However, I recall her intro at the 2016 DNC by Joe Kennedy III. He described having her in class and how she called on him when he hadn't prepared and essentially embarrassed him in front of the entire class. He was able to profit from that as a life lesson learned, but it demostrates how she could well be viewed as kind of "school marm" teacher, professor or boss we've all had at one time or another. IMHO, that part of her personality will turn off a fair number of voters.
