    I would be disgusted if Hilary Clinton was our next president. She exemplifies everything that is wrong with our current political system. Voting for someone based on their race or gender is racist\sexist.

    With her past? That's a no brainer. This country I don't think can take another Bush, Obama type president. But besides its all an illusion, they already know who the next president is.

    I'm not too sure on how that would play out. The United States seems to be a sexist country, even though it's not politically correct. Common stereotypes would make any decision seem like shes a b--ch. Other than that, none of the candidates really even appeal to me. So, I'd have to say nobody should run for president.

    I just don´t know of anything she has talked about wanting to accomplish. Obama kinda stole her thunder with Obamacare, which was the only issue I know of her having an opinion on. If you ask me.. when you think of Hillary, what do you think is important to her about fixing America.... and I know nothing.

    But that said, I do think she is more economically conservative than people think, and I know Bill was proud of balancing the budget, so if she does win, I do think that is something that would be a possibility again. But I really don´t know what else.

    That is the reason I like Kasich, because I know what his core, main goal is, and that is balancing the budget and reforming the appropriations process. Rubio is similar to Hillary, I just don´t know what his core issue is. Trump and Cruz are idiots and have all the wrong goals.

    I think it is possible that Hillary being president would be the best thing for the long term for the Reps.. not in a sarcastic way, but in the fact that if she is willing to work with Reps on balancing the budget, it would once again bring the Republicans back to being a party about economics and small gov´t, rather than a bunch of war-monger, hateful idiots.

    Having a female president would make history in my opinion.

    If you guys could handle two terms of Geroge Dubya, I am sure you can handle anything especially another Clinton.

    In response to the original question, I would feel as though we were only getting more of the same: corporate, duplicitous politician with no clue as to how to solve the problems the nation is facing, only interested in acquiring and maintaining their own power.

    Additionally, I think anyone that votes for Hillary just because they want to see a woman in the White House is a f*cking idiot. Not to mention a sexist. I felt the same way about Black people who voted for Barry simply because they felt like he was "our" president (I'm also Black). Identity politics have no place in actual politics.

    I would rather have Hillary than most Republicans especially "The Donald." She may be far from perfect, and truthfully I wish the Democrats had someone else to run, but she is a known quantity. What you see is what you get. The nation was relatively well off during the Clinton years, and I think people are nostalgic for those days. We could probably do worse.

    Yeah, I wish we would be hearing more about Bill balancing the budget and it being such and important part of domestic policy. I would love for Hillary to step up and include it as a priority. Liberals are already going to vote for her, if she throws in some economically conservative goals it would do a lot to get her some moderate votes.

    All of her credibility and legal problems aside, Hillary is not Bill. Anyone with half a brain should look at her track record going back many years AND listen to what she has been saying about taxes, regulations, restrictions on freedoms, etc she wants to enact. You have to realize that at least some of the things a person talks about doing are going to be done or at least attempted by that person.
