because she believes her work after being First Lady - twice - U.S. Senator and then Secretary of State, is still not done. She still sees there's still so much that needs to be done in this country. We have to commend her drive to want to take on the most difficult job in the world - a job that can be easy if a person doesn't care about the country.

Watching President Obama go gray in seven years tells us just how difficult it is to be president of the United States. But she's still willing to do it, and she's not the type to let "advisers" do the work for her, as is always the case with Republicans and what would be the case with a Sanders presidency.

No, this woman will take on the job just as President Obama has and is doing - and it's tough. I have nothing but admiration for her.

she will always be fighting for us. Hillary knows nothing is easy.. and the M$M, the GOP, BS, and his troops are a prime example right now.

On down the road there will be different challenges.. they're always there. We know that on a smaller scale.

our 45th president. My question is, considering how it aged President Obama, why doesn't she pass on being president?

Why doesn't she just say, "Well, I've done it all and now it's time to enjoy the rest of my life". But then, she's not the shrinking violet type and I sense that she sees there's still so much to do, and in order to prevent a candidate from winning the G.E. who would try to undo everything President Obama has worked so hard for, I sense that she felt she had to do this one last difficult job for the country, for President Obama's legacy, for women, children, our economy, and for equal rights for all.

I really do admire her for that willingness.
