In reply to the discussion: "Why Hillary Clinton could bury the Republican presidential field" [View all]Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)2. I'm starting to like the idea of Hillary as president.
I think she would surprise us all in a good way.
I never felt this way before.
There's nobody as powerful as she is, and she's a woman.
And despite the middle way and wall street, she is a powerful
advocate for human rights and I believe she will blow through
Republican bullshit as president in a way Obama can not and
nobody else can.
I don't believe she will have problem standing up to anybody
in the world looking them in the eye and setting them straight.
I think her fundamental values are good ones and nobody
owns her.
Maybe this is a pipe dream but it's a vision I like.
