In reply to the discussion: It's Not Too Early for Me: Hillary for President 2016 [View all]sadoldgirl
(3,431 posts)8. ..sorry, but I disagree
President Obama in my book is not in the same league as FDR for one.
Hillary Clinton would bring too much old garbage with her (NAFTA, Iraq war) and is already due to their contributions obliged to the corporations. She certainly would make a great justice of the Supreme Court though. We need someone younger and more in line with Jill Stein or elisabeth Warren for this country to move forward and away from the present plutocracy. IMHO. Should Hillary become the Democratic candidate, however, I suppose I will have to vote for her as the usual lesser of two evils.

Since you can't vote in the US, it really doesn't matter who you support in 2016.

It isn't too early for her to "spend time with her family" and "pursue personal interests"

"Trolling" is now defined as "supporting a candidate 17 million Democrats supported in 2008"?
