1. She's a flawed candidate and can't win the general ...

you're wasting your vote, IMHO.

[mcar]

3. That would be one opinion

[riversedge]

6. I would not consider my vote

wasted at all--when, and I will, vote for Hillary.

8. Cute, but polls that aren't "deconstructed" or internet flash-mob polls would disagree.

2. K & R

She has experience and ability and every speech shows she is ready to be president. She is not distracted by useless chatter.

4. Wisdom matters more than resume

I wrote here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=807053

about how Hillary's experience as First Lady should have taught her that the Bush case for war in Iraq couldn't possibly be true, and she should have been leading the charge for a NO vote on the IWR.

Hillary is very well spoken, as a good lawyer is. She has the qualifications to be president, as do Bernie and Martin. No question. But when it really, really mattered, she made the wrong decision on Iraq. And her cozy relationship with the Saudis is a negative, not a positive, in my estimation of her foreign policy goals and potential actions.

5. I agree.

We have a candidate with successful executive experience, and with the kind of judgment that matters. He demonstrates it here:

[Alfresco]

7. The people realize this

and is reflected in the polls. She'll make a great President.

9. You are right.

11. Hillary certainly has lots of experience. Of course, she's been wrong most of the time, but still.

[winter is coming]

12. Good judgment matters, too. HRC doesn't exhibit enough of it. n/t

[Vattel]

13. Then let's elect Dick Cheney. (sarcasm)

I am glad we chose the inexperienced Obama over the experienced Clinton in 2008, because his values and judgment were much better than hers.

Enjoy.


Hillary Clinton Goes Beyond President Obama in Plan to Defeat ISIS

By AMY CHOZICK and DAVID E. SANGERNOV. 19, 2015

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/20/us/po ... .html?_r=0

...........For the most part, Mrs. Clinton called for building on what the White House is already doing — but at a faster pace. The Pentagon has said, for example, that it will bolster the use of special forces if the initial effort to train and equip Kurdish fighters and improve the targeting of airstrikes is successful; Mrs. Clinton appeared ready to do so now.

By implication, she appeared somewhat critical of the Obama administration for moving too slowly on aiding moderate rebels and getting special forces on the ground in Syria — without being highly specific about the number she would deploy if she were in the Oval Office.

“It is time to begin a new phase and intensify and broaden our efforts to smash the would-be caliphate and deny ISIS control of territory in Iraq and Syria,” she said.

She noted that the 50 special operations soldiers Mr. Obama authorized to be sent to Syria had not arrived yet, and said they should be deployed “immediately” and that the United States should be “prepared to deploy more, as more Syrians get into the fight.”


Mrs. Clinton said that “to be successful, airstrikes will have to be combined with ground forces actually taking back more territory from ISIS.” But, mindful that her 2002 vote to authorize force in Iraq largely contributed to her loss in the 2008 Democratic primary, she was quick to say these should be local Sunni troops, and “we cannot substitute for them.”

“Like President Obama, I do not believe that we should again have 100,000 American troops in combat in the Middle East,” she said................

15. Here is Hillary on who is experienced, 2008:

"Now I think you will be able to imagine many things Sen. McCain will be able to say. He has never been the president. He will put forth his experience. I will put forth my experience. Sen. Obama will put forth a speech he made in 2002."

And here is a thread about Hillary vs Obama on experience, it's so great to see the ultra nasty comments about her from people who are supporting her today and making the same ultra nasty comments about Bernie. I mean, it's astounding to see.
"hilary musta thought she could go out and say anything, do anything and nobody would fact check her" says one who today is a full tilt Clinton backer. I don't get that stuff.
