Anyone (as a GOP candidate, that is) but another Bush.

Not sure she remembers how to be an everyday American....:lol:

I can't imagine she would be worse then a Republican unless the republicans somehow fix their issues PDQ but doubt that will happen, and she would have an experienced first husband who was a president...

Could make double history, first female president, first first husband, and first first husband who was also a president, so I guess triple history..

She doesn't need to be one herself, just do things like retain ACA, minimum wage levels, don't bomb Iran.

I cannot explain it rationally but Hilary Clinton gives me the creeps ! The Republican candidates are probably worse ! Put Bernie Sanders in the White House !

In any rational system she would stand no chance

Wonder if Obama will stick the knife in?

It has been since 2000 for sure, seemed to work reasonably well before that fiasco...lol


Probably take some major constitutional changes to get any real change to the system and that's a pain to do and would require a really dedicated congress to see any success, so probably stuck with it for the foreseeable future.

Although the parliamentary system up this way doesn't seem to work all that great either, too much power given to 1 individual when their party gets a majority.

She has to do everything a male candidate would, backwards and in high heels.

Confident about the 1st two - however I do fear she's a bit warmonger-y.
Plus uncomfortably close to Wall St.

But - unless someone new springs up on the horizon - she'll probably get my somewhat grudging vote

Yep, she is a little warmonger-y. May feel she has to act tough as well.
