I think she's very beatable. She's got a lot of skeletons in the closet and a ton of shady, unethical behavior to exploit. Obama was a great candidate and he only got 51% of the vote. I don't see Hillary being able to get the kind of turn out that Obama did in either of his campaigns. I don't think anybody really loves her. Shes just the only serious candidate the Democrats have.
I think she has the credentials to become the next president of the United States. She was a senator and the secretary of the state. She's qualified. But I think what bothering people is that she is married to Clinton and she made bad email choices. Big deal. I don't think they found any high level leaked info on the emails, so who cares.
Agreed with this. I fear she might win too. I hope not and, if she does go down in defeat, that will be the most delicious crow I've ever feasted upon. I'll even ask for a second helping. That said, in modern history, after a two-term president, the opposite party has almost always won. The only exception in the post-war period is Bush the Elder following Reagan's administration. Here's hoping their is a historical repeat, as in other cycles, and the Dems get the boot.
She clearly and deliberately violated rules which stated that she was supposed to use an official federal government email for all government business. She had her own private server installed in her home that she used for official govt business, and she had all of those who worked under her also use the server for email correspondence with her. She then claimed that it was just a simple mistake, and that she used the server for both personal and US govt business for "convenience". She lied about only using one device, and picked and chose which emails to turn over to the government afterward - when they government should have already had all official government correspondence on its servers, because she should have never used a private email for US taxpayer funded official business. Since then, she has refused to turn over the server. She's hiding something(s). And she's a liar and has zero integrity. Any US taxpayer should be outraged and insulted intellectually by her behavior. I won't even get into the foreign donor scandal...
Do I think she'll win? Maybe. Am I rooting for her? Absolutely. Who else would be a better candidate? Jeb Bush?
Ok. Point taken. Do you know of any politician that is squeaky clean? Everyone has some brush with the law or has broken it before.
I really do not like a single candidate that is in the running. There is too much that I dislike about each and every candidate available. It feels more like a pick the lesser evil type situation.
No one is perfect. But some flaws and violations are clearly worse than others. Some people show a repeated pattern of such disregard for rules, laws, regs, etc over many years. Politicians as a rule are not to be trusted in general. This is why we must not give them too much power, and why they should not be allowed to take any liberties, avoid accountability & transparency, and not follow rules. Hillary's blatant disregard for truth, transparency, accountability, and the rules that apply to her and everyone else is frightening. http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015...-cash-allegations-more-serious-than-menendez/
Fox News Senior Judicial Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano said the allegations in “Clinton Cash” “are far more serious” than the allegations against Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and “clearly enough to trigger an investigation” on Monday’s “Kelly File” on the Fox News Channel.“These allegations are far more serious than the those for which Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey was indicted…the allegations are truly damning. They are clearly enough to trigger an investigation” he stated. He added, “if the version of the book that we have read stands up under scrutiny, the Justice Department must commence a criminal investigation of Mrs. Clinton’s behavior during the time period about which the book is written.” And “if the evidence is sound there, the Justice Department will have no choice but commence an investigation, or endure the mocking of the legal community that the Justice Department of the United States of America is not there to enforce federal law against a popular — they perceive to be popular, political figure.”
This is going to be an interesting election year. I'm sure her PR team is putting up good rebuttals and explanations as to what she did, and how she can come back from it. If I was her opponent in the race, I would drill that so hard that she would not be able to come back from it.
