Hillary Clinton Hasn't Won ANYTHING Yet

193. OK. Hold fast to that if you want.

I think at the end of the day you will be disappointed, though.

And actually, her points of disagreement are very specific, and her points of agreement are many. They've more in common than not.

I'll let her best friend Barney Frank explain it all:

“She’s just focusing on maximizing her own voice,” says former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank, who praises Warren for sticking to the financial and consumer issues that she most cares about after all the media frenzy over whether she was running for president. “She’s made the very correct decision to be enormously influential as a senator in the minority, and she’s not going to dilute her impact on public policy.”

For the record, Frank supports Clinton for president, and when I suggested the left would love to see Warren as Treasury Secretary in a Clinton administration, he forcefully rejected the idea.

“Why go to work for somebody else? She’s one of the most influential senators in American history. How many Treasury Secretaries have been influential? Why work for somebody else? She’s more influential on her own. She doesn’t get into all kinds of issues. She has her views on foreign policy and the environment, but she’s focused on what she knows the best.”

That’s high praise for a freshman senator, and while Warren is in no apparent hurry to endorse Clinton, she did send the Democratic frontrunner a kind of digital bouquet Monday with a Facebook post praising Clinton’s proposals to regulate Wall Street. “Secretary Clinton is right to fight back against Republicans trying to sneak Wall Street giveaways into the must-pass government funding bill,” Warren wrote.

I think Warren would be aces as Fed Chair, myself. Treasury might be too easy for her, but Fed Chair? I could see her doing that Oracle Thing for a couple of consecutive terms....
