5. Those are all included in what I consider to be her "one issue".

Those just round it out.

I think she has to stop the "War on Terror" cold in its tracks, to achieve anything.
She has to say how she's going to do that.

Her opponent will be totally gung-ho MIC and the warmongering rhetoric so common and so repugnant at DU today will be as nothing to when her opponent gets the game going.

In my 60+ yrs experience watching politics, US Americans always go for the warmongering hero. Always. US Americans never look back on the devastation that they leave behind, they always blame the victim, pretending that they, themselves, are peace-loving civilized folk. That's their birthright, to tell those stories, being born winners. That's the path that led to today. To the problems that Elizabeth Warren will face as leader.

Platitudes about how the "middle class" got screwed and how it can be fixed with this and that can't do it.
There has to be a dedicated change from a military to a civilian economy. But hey, nobody who gains a buck or two from the military economy will gainsay the source, so good luck with that, since no other economy of import exists in the US. It's all military.
