Even though Bill kept on saying they were "two for the price of one", let's go ahead and say that Hillary's positions are not like Bill's.
Well, the problem is that whenever Bill has ran his mouth off recently about certain issues, she has said NOTHING contrary to Bill.
On Syria, where Bill called Obama a "wuss", where was Hillary stating she had a different opinion?
On Keystone, where was Hillary when Bill said we should let keystone flow through our country?
Now, there are only a few things to think.
A) Hillary agrees with Bill
B) Hillary is unable or unwilling to speak against Bill
Frankly, neither of those appeals, because he either have someone who is using Bill to attack the left, or someone who is so scared of disagreeing with Bill that he will get a third term.
Now, if Hillary were to publicly disagree with Bill, yes, she would lose some followers, but also gain a lot more, because she would truly show she is her own person.

(11,619 posts)say Hillary will be Bill Clinton's or Obama's or Alinsky's third term.
The last one I find baffling because Alinsky never had a term 1 or 2, but this is Republican arguments I am talking about.
The links can be found by via Google. They are all extreme right wing sources, so I will only put links here if you want to see them.
I also find it baffling that Hillary Clinton, should she win the nomination, can not have a first term of her own. I suspect there is some egregious sexism involved on the right where these arguments are being made.

(13,616 posts)because frankly, I think she has the capability to define herself NOW. She needs to win that term, and to do so, needs to actually tell us what she will do in that term, especially as she has has moments where frankly, she showed contempt for those of us on the left, as her 2008 campaign showed. Some of us want her to change we woul;d even settle for "I will not hire that asshole mark penn to run my campaign again." And no, it is niot exist to ask that the person who wants to lead you NOT show contempt for you.

(30,058 posts)has not always agreed with Bill. But besides whether she agrees or not on everything with Bill, it turned out many people did quiet well in while bill was president.
