But I think that Hillary is ready to handle all aspects of the presidency, while Warren wasn't even a politician until she ran for the Senate. She's an economist, that's her niche. It's not that easy to get legislation passed. Any given senator can rail against something, but that doesn't mean that their proposals will ever become a bill and let alone that it will pass.

Here's why Hillary should be President: MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #21

You start. Enthusiast Feb 2014 #22

She was a senator and SOS. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #24

What great legislation did she initiate as Senator? MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #25

About the same amount as Warren, Obama, and Sanders. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #26

Warren created the CFPB, beat MannyGoldstein Feb 2014 #30

Has she gotten legislation passed? I am asking because I don't know. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #31

No, she hasn't. Beacool Feb 2014 #42

Thanks. That does not mean I don't like her but... hrmjustin Feb 2014 #43

I like her too. Beacool Feb 2014 #44

Agreed! I think Hillary would be the better candidate and president. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #45

So she's less qualified than Adlai Stevenson was? n/t Chan790 Feb 2014 #63

Do you think she is qualified? I do. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #64

I do not. Chan790 Feb 2014 #66

She was mine as well. Who is qualified? hrmjustin Feb 2014 #67

No idea at this point. Chan790 Feb 2014 #68

I think she will be the next president. hrmjustin Feb 2014 #69

She was first to call out the right wing conspiracy. joshcryer Feb 2014 #73

Love Hillary! hrmjustin Feb 2014 #23

I will not let the Whitehouse be ceded to the GOP in 2016 beachbum bob Feb 2014 #27

That's pretty much my thought too at this time. n/t RKP5637 Feb 2014 #33

the problem though is 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #36

We're fucked then because my main opposition to her is that she's a dead-lock to lose. Chan790 Feb 2014 #65

I'll vote Hillary if she gets the nomination. However, BenzoDia Feb 2014 #29

I'll let my signature do the talking here. n/t Laelth Feb 2014 #34

A Hillary (or for that matter a Warren) victory in 2016 flies against the typical reaction to change left is right Feb 2014 #37

Not Hillary. bigwillq Feb 2014 #47

Buck up!!! Beacool Feb 2014 #51

Interesting...what policy positions had you reaching for the clothespins? TheKentuckian Feb 2014 #59

liking Warren does not seem to be an issue to me 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #74

...but you want her to run, even though she can't win. brooklynite Feb 2014 #75

I wouldn't expect her to run unless it looked like she had a chance 2pooped2pop Feb 2014 #79
