I think the kind of issues she works hard on are the issues that corporate America try to keep from being talked about in the public space, as there is potentially REAL bipartisan support for them from independents and even some Republicans when they see the value of working for the many against the power mongering of the 1% few. She's shown that she is all about defying the campaign funding industry by going after the banks, etc. and I think if her campaign is run well, has the potential to get MANY Americans on all sides behind her, if she doesn't dwell too much on the divisive issues that corporate America tries to get us to focus on to divide (and conquer) us...
Such a campaign, followed by her potential leadership to help direct us to some major infrastructure fixes in reversing Citizen's United and putting in place public campaign financing, instant runoff voting, going back to paper ballots, and perhaps updating the 4th amendment to work in the 21st century would lead our country out of the messes it is in. Those are fundamental issues that need to be dealt with that those beholden to corporate money (bribes) won't touch.
