2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Why I don't Trust Hillary Clinton! [View all]Gmak
(88 posts)41. Bernie is running because ordinary people NEED him in office,
not because he has the need for power that Hillary apparently has. After she and Bill's 8 years in the most powerful job in the world, did she content herself with using her celebrity to do good works, or teach, or volunteer, as Jimmy and Rosalind Carter did? No, she did just what I expected of her, starting the climb to get herself into the White House, not as a spouse, but as the POTUS. Quite frankly, anyone who wants this job, this badly and is willing to take the abuse, and devote the energy that she has to it, is too much in love with power and shouldn't be trusted with it, in my opinion.
