Or are you choosing the lesser of two evils? Frankly, if you do not vote for Ms. Clinton, America is screwed as there is no alternative.
Age is just a number but I do not think she is qualified, I could be wrong, Enlighten me if am wrong!

(5,704 posts)I just hope he can get all his policies through before he leaves office. I think I jumped the gun asking that question about Ms. Clinton. Sorry, I had promised myself to not do that until election time.
My apologies, I really want to see what President Obama is going to do, even with Executive Orders!

(6,537 posts)Research is easy to do. In answer to your question, yes I would be happy to vote for Hillary. Arkansas First Lady, FLOTUS, US Senator, Secretary of State. And you think she's not qualified?? Are you serious? What other candidate has these credentials?

(27,247 posts)I can't say that I was really impressed with her. And my history teacher, who was a dyed-in-the-wool yellow dog Democrat, was livid about her attempts to "reform" education in the state (my school district was one of the top districts in the state, but he felt her "reforms" were dragging the district down and really cramping his style).
I also met her after she became the US First Lady, and my impression was that she really didn't like to mingle with the hoi polloi. I'll give Bill credit, though, he was shaking everyone's hand when we greeted them at the Springdale airport. But both of them have done things since then that have left a bad taste in my mouth.

(111,339 posts)She has been Secretary of State without screwing it up like Republicans do and that has added to her resume.
Other than that, not sure what you're talking about, looks like you've contradicted yourself a couple of times. If she is the nominee, a lot of people will vote for her and a lot of people will vote against the Republicans. Whether that is enough to keep the Republicans out is anyone's guess at this point.

(30,761 posts)He was a state senator in Illinois, and Illinois senator for less than three years.
I think he has been an excellent President.
Look at Truman. Look at what he had to face and overcome when he became President very unexpectedly. He is one of my favorite Presidents.

I do not think she is qualified
It seems like only one of those statements can be true.

(5,704 posts)you all keep saying you have to vote for the lesser of two evils. Am only asking!
As far as am concerned a Democrat in office is far better than a republican especially if it is a teaparty person who running for office!
Thinkingabout
(30,058 posts)time advocate for Civil Rights, women's issues, children's issues and early education. She served as first lady and presented a health care plan to Congress but of course the Republican Congress did not allow it to pass. She served as senator for NY and pushed for minimum wage increases and tried to tie the wage increased to Congress getting raises since they never failed to vote themselves a raise. She has been pro-choice. Inequality in wages is another concern. These are just naming just a few but here is a link to how she stands on the issues.

(11,619 posts)She would be the best candidate in the general election.
I have not decided on my Primary pick. We have candidates who have not yet entered the fray.

Man from Pickens
(1,713 posts)Well then we may just pack in the ballot boxes, if our choices can get narrowed to one only, before a single vote is cast.
In a sad way it will be a little bit of a relief no longer having to pretend that there is any actual representation going on in government.
Sorry voters! The banks made their selection and it's apparently their call and theirs only to make.
