Hillary Clinton has been a MAJOR force for good. She's carried the torch.

None of us could say with any kind of conviction that Hillary has done anything other than make the world a better place for large numbers of people.

The fucking WORLD is a better place because Hillary Clinton has walked through it.

Make no mistake; Hillary Clinton has been a force for good.

I'm sorry though; I don't see her as President. In as much as the world is ready for a female President of the United States... Hillary Clinton isn't the right person.

I had wanted to see a woman President in my lifetime. Well perhaps the next.

qualified to serve as President and going all-in.

She's a wonderful person in her own right.

I think the DNC choosing Hillary because it's HER TURN guaranteed we'd not see a female President for at least one term.

Some good sure. She also has been a force for Wall Street and the war security complex. Then there is that pesky yes vote for Cheney and Dubya's Irag War.

The administration’s economic policy took shape as trickle down, Democratic style. They championed free trade, pushing Nafta. They reformed welfare, buying into the conservative view that poverty was about dependency, not about situation. They threw the old left a few bones, repealing prior tax cuts on the rich, but used the increased revenues mostly on Wall Street’s favorite issue: cutting the debt.

Most importantly, when faced with their first financial crisis, they bailed out Wall Street.
