I love people who say women are equal to men yet then there are these posts. It's a sad world.

Hillary will win.

I hope you are right but there will be a full court press from the left to get Hillary elected. It can be defeated if the Republican candidate is an unashamed conservative willing to define the differences between the Republican and Democrat philosophy. Ronald Reagan was the last one. He set the record for the most popular and electoral votes ever received by a candidate in both of his elections.

His slogan? "Let's make America Great again." He clearly defined the conservative philosophy at every oportunity. The results speak for themselves no matter how anyone tries to spin them. An awful lot of registered Democrats voted for him twice. One can assume that not all Democrats are liberals just from that.

Practically no Republicans voted for the self-proclaimed liberal candidates. Why do you think no Democrat candidate will dare define him or herself as a liberal? Why do you think they hide behind the title progressive?

Liberalism is not the philosophy of mainstream America. Conservatism is. Liberalism may be loud and the media may fool some of the people some of the time but as the great Republican President Lincoln said, "you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

But the Hillarys of the world can succeed when Conservatives don't show up. Whether the person who enteres the ring against Hillary is a true conservative or not has yet to be determined. I dare not wager on a bout until the opponents have been determined.

A good campaigner who is not a conservative is flawed. So, too, is a good conservative who is not a good campaigner. A Republican candidate who is a true conservative and can explain and defend his philosophy is undefeatable. But is that what we will see?

I wouldn't bet you a nickel on the outcome of the next presidential election ... and I don't know if you have an election for the 'lower offices' in your area, but I wouldn't bet anyone a nickel on those, either. ELECTIONS are a very 'serious thing' and should be 'taken seriously' by all, not a 'good instance for a bet.'
I have NO medical insurance, and I have serious health problems and need surgery to have my gall bladder removed. Now it's 'elective' ... if I 'wait' it could be an 'emergency surgery' and far more costly with a longer recovery period. I was told to 'vote for Hilary Clinton' ... since ONE of the things she is 'for' is a national health care system. I don't know who I'll vote for. I will have to have my surgery long before the election. I don't 'care' whether the candidate is female or male, black, white, yellow, or red. I will cast my vote for the 'least crooked' ... that seems to be 'the best' way to choose our next president.

I have a strong feeling that Hilary wont win, but then again, who really knows? I think eventually it all comes down to precisely what the climate of events, in this country and around the world, happens to be on Election Day. A whole lot of people make sudden changes in their decision whom to vote for, based on precisely the events of the moment, and no matter what the prevailing loud chatter may seem to indicate prior to voting day, the overwhelming majority of voters are not chattering at all, but just going quietly about their daily lives, quietly thinking and evaluating, quietly concluding, and when the time comes, quietly placing their votes. That's why it's not much of a horserace to be betting on, because we don't know anything about the field --- not of the horses, but the gamblers.

I'd bet 10000 dollars that the election and ballot system is a big sham to give us the appearance of a democracy. Those pulling the puppet strings of the president will not allow a president they cannot control. So it doesn't matter who wins really.

I would never rule her out.

Look at good 'ole Theodore Kennedy continually making it back as a Senator. Does anyone actually believe he would legally be voted to a Senate seat while voters elect a person of the likes of Mitt Romney as their Governor?

John Kerry & Tipsy Ted are dipsticks and they vote in Romney...?? lmao

I'm betting that you're correct. Therefore, no bets coming from me.
