Until candidates begin announcing that they are running, they get pretty much a free pass, unless they are very well known. Elizabeth Warren is still not well enough known nor has enough historical background to make judgments about her policies particularly valid across the whole spectrum. I suspect that there will be things she believes that will not be appreciated by some, but I don't know what those are.
The bottom line is that nobody has announced yet, at least nobody prominent. Once they do, much more scrutiny will be applied. Still, Hillary Clinton has enough history recorded for people to already be making judgments, and she's unpopular with some. If she decides to run, she will be very difficult to defeat in the primaries. That is a fact.
I hope as many people run in the Democratic primaries who want to run. The people will vote for the one they want to run in the general election. I will support whomever gets the nomination. My own personal political emphasis is on legislative races, frankly, since it is Congress that passes laws. Presidents have limited power in that regard.
