What do you guys think about Hilary Clinton running for president?

Question

What are your views on a women president? What do you think her odds are of winning. There is also an African American and A Mexican in the upcoming presidential election as well. =) Wow! So make your opinions known! :)

Answer 1

Nader pegged Clinton as a panderer and a flatterer. It would take a heap on convincing for me to vote for her.

On your larger question, I don't care about gender, ethnicity, political party or anything else. I care about right and wrong. I'll vote for the person who puts loyalty to the nation above anything else. I'll vote for the person with the right ideas.

Answer 2

I believe that there are some very strong, informed, women out there who would make a great president, I tend to lean toward the Margaret Thatcher type. Male or Female, we need a strong no nonsense President who would actually make the affairs at home a priority, not an afterthought. Things like: Job Security, Health Care Costs, Recession/Inflation (it's here don't believe all that you read) , Balanced Budget, getting American companies to stay America, Close the Trade Gap, Help the Homeless, Rein in Corporate Fraud, Accountability, etc, ( the small stuff). Make our country Strong again and quit allowing the selling of our roads to different countries, which most people don't even know is going on (check out how Germany bought the Indiana Toll Road if curious)

Hillary, I wouldn't vote for her if the only other candidate was Mickey Mouse. She has no definitive logical plans for anything. She tends to throw out issues without offering realistic solutions. She also says whatever the group she is speaking to wants to hear. I also remember her trying to take credit for what Mayor Guiliani did during 9/11 when she was nowhere to be found. And for heaven's sake remember her National Health Care Plan? Nine months or so late, and creating like 200+ MORE administrative offices as well as more red tape and hoops for people to jump through, the last thing we need is more bureaucracy. When push comes to shove I believe our people are smart enough to NOT elect Hillary. So I don't think her odds of winning are very high.

As for the African American and Mexican candidates (I am assuming that he is a naturalized citizen), I can only say that I have NO problem with an African American President nor a President of Mexican descent. Not as long as they or any President for that matter put This, Our Needs, Our Country FIRST and LISTENS TO THE PEOPLE NOT THE POLLS!!

One point to remember: Statistics never lie, but liars twist and use statistics to their own advantage always look at the REAL numbers. Being a Poll or not, One person's opinon does NOT equate to 100,000 people's opinions (too many variables to be accurate). Just as my opinon is but one person's not thousands.

Answer 3

Well, let me think. She comes from money, she goes to Arkansas and marries a local. She helps get him elected as Governor. She helps get him elected as president. He has many affairs and she is aware of the facts. She stands by him and takes the public disgrace. They move to New York so she can be elected as a senator, and now she is running for president and the family moves back in the white house with Bill having her ear. Now tell me, what is wrong with that picture? Where is my free health insurance they promised us if he was elected the first time? After all he gave that job to her and she blew it blaming the republicans as they swept it under the table. Liars both of them, it's about power, money and favors! Don't be fooled. Obama is an intelligent man, however he plays close to the vest for his party, not 100% a policy maker. John Edwards appears to be the logical candidate, but hard to overcome the Clinton backing and the race card.

Answer 4

In each and every election non-incumbent applicants declare to strive against for replace. replace to what? jumping from the frying pan to the fireplace is replace yet no longer an really solid one. Hillary Clinton has already admitted to her disdain for the second one change, what diverse factors of the type does she intend to stay far flung from? bill Clinton allowed Janet Reno to violate the first, second, 0.33, and Fourth Amendments to the type. (The 0.33 is stressful to violate, yet they managed). I see no reason to have self belief that Hillary may do any distinct. Obama is so a options on the thanks to the left that he makes Hillary look like the president of the NRA. There on the prompt are literally not any solid options for President this year. of human beings that're left, Hillary and Obama are the worst followed with assistance from using McCain then Romney. Paul and Huckabee are the ultimate of the lot yet they aren’t all that great. it truly is going to be worse i anticipate, Giuliani might want to notwithstanding be interior the operating. Thank God he’s lengthy previous.

Answer 5

I wouldnt have a problem with a woman a black person or an american of mexican descent becoming president but Hillary Clinton is a scary person with crazy agendas if she got elected we would be trying to figure out how many yen we earn a year by the end of her term but I dont think we have to worry because her chances are pretty slim

Answer 6

I think that conservatives, and even some liberals, are going to pick her to pieces. Everything she says will either be portrayed as soft and girly (ooo, she's talking about feelings) or bitchy.

I am glad she is running, and I think she has some really important things to say. But sexism is alive and well in this country... I mean, after all, when was the last time someone ran for President and got referred to by first name only?

Neither she nor Obama has much experience, especially in foreign relations. As much as I wish it was otherwise, I fear that neither is electable.

Answer 7

I'm a girl, but I'll answer anyway. I don't like Hillary, she has a lot of baggage. The fact that she is a woman does not sway my opinion of that person one way or another and it shouldn't. I don't care about the color, the race, the religion, or the sex. I care about their platform and what they believe in and what they have done in the past to show me that there words are true. Hillary fails on all accounts.

Answer 8

i hope it goes well for her. I think she'd make a good president and I would like to see a democrat as president; if the alternative is a republican.

nearly anything is better than gwb. and with a democratically controlled house and senate maybe some powers will shift and the People's business will get done and special interests/corporate interests and lobbyists will take the back seat to the people's business. not likely but one can hope.

things DO need SHAKING UP in washington dc; that is for sure. she's a better candidate than kerry or gore, though gore had some good ideas, gore was a little too radical and he is and was old washington dc politics as usual. kerry was non-electable imo.

just the fact that hillary is running is a good indication that women do vote and that their contributions are welcome and recognised etc. just look at barbara boxer and dianne feinstein in california.

I hope she makes it as the candidate but i kind of think the media is going to have a heyday with her I hope she has the opportunity to respond and focuses on the issues not special interests or "just to get votes" kind of things but answers giving her own responses not just what people want to hear or party lines or personal attacks on other candidates. I think she's capable. no doubt in my mind she could do the job.

I think it'd be good for the country really.

as for "a mexican" running if he was mexican he'd be running a campaign in mexico? no i think i know what you mean, but...maybe he is mexican idk? i havent heard anything about it, not following it too closely tbh.

Answer 9

The more recent history of America and the world, shows us that women have done an great job in all aspects of politics and government. As well as private business.

Senator Clinton has also shown herself to be a clear thinking and strong woman.

I have no trouble with women leaders.

Answer 10

I hope that she wins, but her chances are slim in a male dominated society as ours. If she picks a minority running mate she might as well hang her hat. There is absolutely no way our society would accept two minorities running our country. I wish her the best of luck and she has my vote, heck she did an outstanding job her first 8 years.
