Pretend there is no political party....no someone tell me you would actually vote for her. This county is full of very intelligent winners why on earth is it so hard to find a qualified president.

I will take a business person over a politician any day!

She feels entitled to the office.

It takes an unusual person to subject themselves to the modern campaign scrutiny. I don't think a lot of people - otherwise qualified - have any interest in putting themselves and their family through that. Just my opinion.

As far as a business person for president, I take it on a case-by-case basis. George Bush was a business person and I think he was a horrible president. But I don't think that was necessarily due to his business background.

The Clinton's do radiate that they are the 'royal family' of the United States.

Is this because he has an 'R' after his name?

Not because he has an R after his name. I voted for him in 2000. I think he was a horrible president because of the Iraq war.

I know you are not a Hillary fanboy but unless things change come November she may be the only candidate on stage that was all in with a vote on record for the Iraq war. Bush did not act alone. His executive order to invade was given by congress.

You're right about that. Bush was not responsible alone. Hillary has done everything possible to distance herself from her vote (along with many others such as John Kerry). I don't like Hillary in any way and hate the fact that she is the leading candidate. Go Bernie!

Had Hillary become president in 2008 she would have nominated Richard Holbrooke to be Secretary of State. Probably the best diplomat in modern times. One of Obama's biggest mistakes was undercutting him when he was the special envoy to Afghanistan.

President's make their biggest mark in foreign affairs and she has more experience in that area than any candidate in recent history. Moreover, while she is not as talented as Holbrooke was, I think we turn Obama's foreign policy away from "Diplomacy backed by uncredible threats of force" to a more Holbrookean Diplomacy backed by credible threats of force.

That is preferable to the current doctrines adhered to by some candidates in the race who seem to think speaking boisterously and recklessly swinging around a big stick can bend world order to our will and other candidates who seem to think it's not necessary to carry a big stick and that we can let world order go as it might.

Domestic policy proposals are almost irrelevant because even when they have the whole deck, like Obama and Bush did early in their presidencies, they don't pursue their whole policy agenda.

Moreover, Hillary probably reappoints Yellen or appoints Summers to the Fed and Yellen is the savior of the U.S. economy (so far...could still blow it).

Monetary hawks like her opponents probably appoint John Taylor who has been calling for hikes for years now.

And Hillary is a Jelly Maker while Sanders is a Tree shaker, as the saying goes.


P.s. I think Jeb Bush is probably the second best candidate as I think he wants to undo what Gingrich did to his father and return the GOP to moderation. He just cannot sell being this hardcore conservative and everyone knows and that is why he fails.

Because she is not actually a criminal just like Obummer didn't actually bang Vera baker or whatever it is you believe about her. The right wing media deceives you into believing this stuff is true with the greatest con around..."Everyone else is lying! They are liberals! Trust us!" and then they fan the flames all the way to the bank.

You sure eat up every bullshit spin out there. Hillary at best severely lacks any integrity. Congrats.

Simple yes or no question, since I know you will get into your long winded spin BS. Do you believe Hillary is a candidate of character and integrity?

I would be interested in hearing more on this. I know a few Navy Seals and I have to tell you I would trust them to run this country over any of the current list.

Sounds like a lot of probably' s and I thinks. Knowing what you know now about Hillary how on earth could you vote for her? I don't care D or R she is a mess.

Yes.

The shit has been thrown against the wall for thirty years and some of it stuck to you. Congratulations. You are in good company with hopeless Bernie supporters who are sure Hillary is scheming to undo their savior.

Ole Ronny's quote now applies to 10 million or so minority of Americans who know ​Hillary should be in jail.
