I like the idea of a power black woman president. It pushes back at the rise of white supremacist we have seen lately and says 'NOT IN USA.' She's accomplished, capable, and won't embarrass us on the world stage. I think if she puts someone like Adam Schiff as Sec of state she would be fine. We need to repair the State Dept. I'm looking for someone who can beat Bernie in a primary and Trump in the general. Oprah can beat both. IMO.

True, experience is important, and be a factor in elections. But it is often not the deciding factor.
We need people who can win, regardless of experience.

(42,766 posts)They go by name recognition and what they hear at the water cooler. Raygun, Shit-for-Brains and Benedict Donald have proven the point sufficiently. I'd vote for an inexperienced Dem over a moderately qualified rethug any day of the week. Twice on Sundays if I could get away with it.

(25,586 posts)She is also a powerful woman of color, but shes also an experienced politician and is steeped in the functions of government and policy creation.
And shes never promoted psychic surgery or the notion that vaccines cause autism. That sort of thing should matter to people.
