When I think of Hillary as candidate for president, I look at her experience, her time as First Lady

of Arkansas and later as First Lady of the USA, her time as Senator and then SOS. She was an advocate for children in her early career, went door to door making contact to see what it would take to get those children in school, see about their health care because she know how important both education and health was to young children.

I do not find having or not having a super pac makes or breaks a candidate and even donations from corporations does not make for experience needed by a president. Trade is a part of the responsibilities of the president, meeting and working with world leaders is an important part of being president. Hillary does not have to be in the office of president in order to get these experiences.

Hillary, Joe, Bernie and Martin.

Well not Joe, yet.

Look at the clown car, then look at the Democrats.

Even with Hillary's connection to Wall Street, which is troubling for me, she is still a vastly better candidate and choice than any of the alternatives on the other side.

She pisses them off, too, and I love that.
