Elizabeth Warren brings kitchen table talk to Council Bluffs forum

Her latest trek through the state included town halls around Des Moines on Saturday and then to Clarinda and Council Bluffs on Sunday.
The Council Bluffs stop - her third here - played to a crowd at Woodrow Wilson Junior High.
Warren set the table for some kitchen table talk by tweeting about her proposed wealth tax prior to the town hall then entering the to room to the tune of Working 9 to 5. After a recitation of a quick bio she went straight to a Q&A that went straight to economic themes.
