(45,806 posts)Not saying that "just being a woman" is enough, but always dragging up things from 20 years ago, and calling her nothing but a corporate Dem!
It takes a WHOLE LOT MORE than being female to be a good President, but I honestly think she HAS a lot more than that.
Of course experience makes a big difference, and just as living with a Doctor doesn't make you a Dr, but you DO learn a lot more than the average person about the practice of medicine, she learned a lot from the 8 years when Bill was President.
Honestly, I've not only looked at all the candidates who have said they want to run, but others who've made an impression on me with their abilities. Is there someone else I would rather have as the lead Dem. on the ballot in nov. 2016. The only other person I can think of that would be on an equal footing with Hillary is Liz Warren. NOT because she's another woman, but because she's not afraid to speak up to the opposition and tell them they're FOS! But Liz repeatedly says she's NOT RUNNING! I believe her, and I must say, we need her in the Senate too!
I have ONE SINGLE ISSUE that will determine who I vote for in 2016. THEY MUST BE A DEMOCRAT! How many years have we heard "The SCOTUS' are getting OLD." Well, they ARE, and getting older with every year. I believe the President elected ibn 2016 will have the opportunity to nominate THREE and maybe FOUR Justices. I detest the Court now! Having another 3-4 Pubs put on the court would destroy the USA for the rest of my lifetime, and probably YOURS too! Please keep that im mind when you insist on a particular candidate for the Dems. It MUST be a candidate who can get not only Dem votes, but Indys & even some Pubbies.
