Excellent article from a British commentator who cant figure out why anyone considered a front runner with such a poor resume. Frankly, I agree.
Why exactly are we trying to crown her as the President of the United States when she has no experience and her election will continue to divide this nation?

I consider myself to be a Democrat, and Hillary is about my last Democratic choice for President. I think the Republicans are trying to make her the front runner, because they believe she is the Democrat that the Republicans can beat most easily. Hillary has a lot a negative baggage, and I don't think that twenty plus years of Clinton/Bush bickering is a good thing.

Well, frankly, I disagree. She's been up to her eyeballs in politics since she graduated with political science honors as valedictorian of Wellesley. She was already starting a political career before she married Bill and was serving on a children's health committee at the request of President Carter. She's never been the doting wifey type and has involved herself deeply in politics for years. She's received very high marks as a Senator, even from the other side of the aisle. Military brass has great things to say about her involvement in the Armed Services Committee for the last 6+ years. She fought for and won many programs and increases in benefits for the first responders and victims of 9/11. She's become a well respected leader in the Senate and is a political force to be reckoned with. Even her political detractors admit her qualifiations are solid, so I couldn't care less what some British commentator thinks.

Hillary Clinton has the network of fundraisers she inherited from Bill Clinton and this is the crucial element in any election-funds. Thus, there are many who adhere to this belief that Hillary might win because of her many supporters.
The result of the election is not really determined by who is the most qualified but by one who is qualified but has the money to finance an effective campaign.
VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know if Hillary will likely win.

I don't disagree with a lot of what was said, however, I must point out that many of the things said about her were equally true of George W. Bush when he ran in 2000. W wouldn't have won an election for dog catcher without his family connections -- his resume wasn't great either and he was just about the worst ever. I can't imagine even Hillary being as bad as him. .
We are not going to "crown" her or anyone else President, that's just silly Brit Speak.

Yeah that and look at all the scandals she has been involved in. I mean any Democrat who votes for this woman is a head case. I am a Republican, but I mean I would rather about anyone get the presidency but her. If she does it will be 4 years of one cover up after another.

The news media. She bought them.
If the news media was reporting the truth, you would see that whatever little support she had at one time is dwindling now that she has told so many lies and is pushing for a socialist US.
When close to 90% of the US citizens begged Congress not to pass the amnesty bill for illegal aliens, she and Obama voted in favor of it - directly against what the citizens wanted.
Who needs another president who wants nothing but control over the people? Power - this is what drives her.

It's dangerous to spend your days talking only to people who agree with you. This is what leads to paranoid conspiracy theories. The fact is that millions of Americans like Hillary Clinton. The news media isn't to blame for reporting this fact. She's going to be our next president. Instead of bemoaning the fact, maybe you should seek out people who support her and listen with an open mind. You might learn something.

Sound familiar? 6+ years ago a man for President. He skipped out on his military obligations.He had DUI's. There was some talk of him doing drugs. Every business he ran he actually ran into the ground. He had no experience for the job.So what are you telling me that a person with no experience is not good for the US? Well the US citizens did that already.

If you hate Bush, you will regret supporting Hillary. If your argument for Hillary is "Bush has no experience and the people voted for him so why not Hillary" then I feel sorry for you.
The second argument from Hillary supporters could be that they will do anything and everything to win, period!
