So where is Warren on the neoliberal scale?

I really like her for her populism and economic stances. But I have heard very little of where she falls regarding military (mis)adventures, regime change, etc.

My largest concern about Hillary is her alliance with Neocon regime change work. I would love to think we could have someone near her that would have the confidence to push her away from pax americana.

Anyone know of anyplace she outlined her views on foreign policy?

She is extremely supportive of Clinton's foreign policy. It also looks like while she has questions about it she is somewhat accepting of TPP with a few modifications.

Her speeches remind me of Obama's in 2007-8 with a little extra emphasis on populism.

In terms of their ability to live on the planet and to find decent jobs before we all go the way of the dinosaurs.

and she will have no power unless Hillary gives it to here. Better to stay in the Senate where she will have real power given the Democrat's likely takeover of the Senate.
