It's hard to not watch that video and think you're looking at a great candidate for President. In truth, you are. In a vacuum, most left-leaning voters would love to vote for an economic populist candidate like Warren. In reality, I don't think she's the right messenger.
I'd like her to not run though. I don't believe she's the right messenger for the general election, and I think she'd have to define herself as a more "lefty" candidate in the primary, which would make that problem worse. Warren would be putting her platform, right now as the leading messenger in the party on populist messages, into the fray for something I don't think would work out. I'm obviously open to hearing what she'd say on this if she enters, but I have real doubts.
I'd like to see Senator Warren remain in the Senate, concentrate on a long and impactful career, and become a leader there. Yes, she can be an impact in the primary, but I am not sure that's best for the party at this stage, nor is it best for the country right now. Things can change. They haven't yet. At this point, I hope she stays put.
