Obama and Sanders disagree, thus proving she's smarter than they are, combined!

'cause who can think of a better idea than taking unilateral nation to shoot down Russian pilots in order to protect Daesh, so they can fulfill their effort to overthrow the legitimate (if awful) government of a third nation?

GENIUS!

she has more determination than either one perhaps both put together, plus more experience and knowledge. Obama has been good, but it took him a long time to warm up. Bernie would be a disaster even in the very long shot that he could win. He knows nothing about foreign policy and none of the players. He is such a one trick pony.

Mon Oct 19, 2015, 02:42 PM

In so doing, she will be able to have a more unified cabinet that would allow her to accomplish certain tasks without as much obstruction.

Granted, that is not a guarantee.
Granted, I don't agree with all she stands for.
Granted, I rather have someone else, but I can live with her winning.

However, this is merely finishing a sentence, and a probable answer. That is pretty much the one of the few reasons I think she could possibly accomplish more. I of course can't tell if that is really the case, but that is how I see it at this time.

She learned to really sprint and get shit done quickly when she was ducking sniper fire. Chelsea has that in her blood too, it's obvious when she was jogging around the WTC on 9/11.

She's never done anything in her career to show that she would be an effective president. She doesn't have the leadership skills to accomplish much of anything. That's why there is so little achievements for her to run on. She's fine as a mid-level executive who takes orders and that is about it.
