    Yeah, it's not like they're living under Sharia law here last I checked. At least not yet - the libs may decide to impose it on us one day so as not to "offend" muslims. But for now their voting and driving rights and privileges are still intact. :D

    I don't understand why the Clintons are so popular. I understand the economy was great in the 1990's, but beyond that, why? Bill Clinton is a serial philanderer and a liar. Hillary Clinton has questionable ethics as well, didn't distinguish herself in the Senate, and was part of the most disasterous foreign policy in a generation. I guess I'm just not getting it or seeing it.

    Presidents who serve during good times are always credited with things they had little or nothing to do with, and they're always highly regarded in hindsight. The reverse is also true.

    I'm amazed at how little people understand about what presidents can and can't do, what their jobs are and aren't, etc.

    As far as the Clintons specifically, many people - even very rich and powerful people - fear them.

    They should be feared. They're overly ambitious lunatics with a lot of connection. I always laugh when some folks insinuate Hillary may not run for president. That's such a joke to me. She clearly wants the job and craves the power. Bill wants back in as well.

    Honestly? I wouldn't mind. She may not be the greatest presence ever, but I feel like she'll do a better job than Jeb Bush

    I am all for a woman being president as I feel we are just as capable of running the country, but I do not feel that Hilary is the right choice. It has to make you wonder though if she was running the country when Bill Clinton was in office, or if she got elected, would he be running the country again behind closed doors. The whole thing has an interesting dynamic.

    It is easy to say feminism has gone "too far" if you are not a woman. If you are, you will still have a list of jobs where they chose a less qualified man and potential business contacts who saw you as a potential lay not a serious colleague. That is why the wage gap is still real and large.

    And I fail to see what the hell single parenthood has to do with feminism. Perhaps someone can explain that one to me.

    I am not a citizen ye, but if I was I would vote for Clinton if she got the nomination, although my top choice would be Sanders because I am more on the left than the middle-left.

    Sorry for the late reply, but I'd just like to give my two cents about the situation. Obama... has been an awful president. He didn't contribute much, and all he did was to impress social media with his extracurricular activities. Period. Hillary... meh. Probably the same thing as Obama, just a little bit more discreet than him. She really doesn't fit this role in politics. Hell, she probably doesn't even deserve a role in politics after all.

    We should have all heard about the recent scandals with her deciding to use her own personal servers and then "conveniently" wiping off the information. People that have nothing to hide don't wipe information off, but more importantly, they don't user their own private servers to begin with. I do NOT trust Hillary at all. I could care less if she is a woman or not. I do not make hiring/election decisions based on gender. What difference does that make? I am also greatly disturbed by her strong ties to islamic countries. They have a terrible record with regard to treating women with dignity and respect, so how does Hillary get away with saying she is all for women's right out of one side of her mouth and then saying "yes" to islamic money out of the other side of her mouth?

    I think she's only going to win if the other candidate opposing her is really bad. She seems pretty old and washed up to me. And she really hasn't done anything brilliant in her entire life. Everybody's just supposed to vote for her because she's a woman. Yawn....
