The presidential contender beat out Oprah
Americans named Hillary Clinton the woman they admire most of anywhere in the world, a new poll found, for the 17th time in 18 years.
When Gallup asked a random sampling of Americans who is the living female they admire most, 12% named Clinton. The former Secretary of State was followed by Oprah Winfrey at 8% and Pakistani education activist Malala Yousafazi at 5%.

If you’re with me, I need you to step up this month, Xxxxxx.
I'm not going to waste a single minute of the rest of 2015: My schedule is packed with town halls, meetings, events, and rallies (and I'm excited for it!). I'm ready to earn every vote and win the Democratic nomination, the presidency, and make history.
But I can't do it alone. I appreciate the support you’ve already shown me. If you're with me today, will you chip in $00 right now?
Your donation isn't about closing a hole in our budget. It's about showing me you're on my side when it counts the most. With candidates on both sides of the aisle smearing my name and voters going to the polls in less than eight weeks, I need to know if you're in it to win it.
I'm going to ask you to do so much over the next few weeks and months: I hope you'll volunteer, talk to your friends and family about why this race matters, wear your Team Hillary shirt proudly, and when it comes time, that you'll vote in your state's primary or caucus.
But today, all I need to know you're on my side is $00. Let me know you're in:
Xxxxx, donate $00
Thanks,
Hillary
I did not like Hillary's IWR vote. I don't like Obama's support of TPP.
I am not so naive as to think politicians are perfect human beings. Nor do I think the past performance is always a predictor of future performance. I think that people can evolve in their opinions given different circumstances or different time frames as Obama did with marriage equality.
Seeing the choices in front of me I try to pick the one that I feel will give us the best outcome given our current circumstances and place in time.
I don't make this primary decision based on a set of ideals alone though my ideals do play a roll in judging outcomes. Rather I make this decision based on who I think can best deliver as many desired outcomes given the circumstances we currently live in.
Voting for ideals is fine but I think we need to couple our idealism to a real understanding of the possibility that those ideals can be realized.
Seems to me that voting for Bernie is voting for a set of ideals in a vacuum devoid of any understanding or caring of the probability of those ideals becoming reality in a reasonable amount of time.
I pick Hillary because I understand what she means when she said "I am a progressive who likes to get things done."
This primary season is not some morality play
We don't have good vs evil here
We shouldn't portray it as such
So why can't Bernie get his policies in to law
as a Senator?
Rachel quoted a repub the other night who said if Trump won their nomination he was sure Hillary would be president and she would get the Senate back and possibly the House.
So Bernie gets $15 per hr through that new congress, Hillary would not veto it.
If he got single payer passed Hillary would not veto it.
There is as much chance for these things (maybe better) if Bernie were a Senator and Hillary were President.
I knew it was coming. Bernie supporters don't want a President they want a dictator to force their
revolution on the rest of the country.

Rachel was talking about the repub reaction
to Trump possibly winning the repub nomination on her show last night.
One repub said that if Trump was their nominee, then Hillary would win the White House and take back the Senate, maybe the House and change some state legislatures.
So I think I like Trump to be their nominee.
