Why do you like and support Hillary?



HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

For me i have always loved her and felt she is on my side. I think she wants to help working people and improve our lives. I think she wants to protect us from those who would do us harm and she wants a fair business market.

I always thought she was one of us despite the naysayers who call her and us Dino's

I am proud to stand tall for Hillary.

She is compassionate. She has always worked on women's issues so that is important to me.
She is realistic and a good politician. I mean that in the best way. When she was in the Senate, even Republicans liked her as a person.
She is strong.

waited another four years before running for President. He proved me wrong. I found Hillary worked very hard for Bill to become president and immediately presented a health care plan to Congress. She was quiet impressive, strong and smart. She wasn't able to get Congress to buy into the healthcare plan but showed her strength. I was impressed with her strength while living through Bill's infidelities but she remained strong. I could see Chelsea was growing up a well balanced young lady. Hillary ran for senator of NY and won there and again displayed her strength as Senator from NY. She worked across party lines and was able to accomplish minimum wage increases for working Americans through a hard administration and a GOP Congress. She ran for president in 2008 and though she did not win, she stood with grace and poise. Obama ask her to be SOS and she accepted showing the ability to get past the election and served the US very well as SOS. She has been an advocate for women's and children's issues, civil rights issues, a sign of a real Democrat. I am looking forward to a good primary and general election and having Hillary serve as our president.

I like and support Hillary.

She’s more than Qualified
She’s Championed Some AMAZING Causes
I like her Stance on the Issues
We will get First Gentleman Bill Clinton
Besides it’s About Damn Time a woman takes up the mantel of “Leader of the Free World

And if she wins in 2016, it also means:

– Ted Cruz will not be President
– Jeb Bush will not be President
– Scott Walker will not be President
– Rand Paul will not be President
– Chris Christie will not be President
– Donald Trump will not be President
– Sarah Palin will not be President

http://bluenationreview.com/top-reasons-vote-hillary/

Those are some of my reasons for liking and supporting Hillary. I also think she works harder than any other pol I've ever seen & has more stamina too.

I've got more but I'm getting called for dinner right now.

and its people. Will do her best in keeping peace in the world, but won't take bs.

The Democratic Party is diversed. We may disagree on how to get from point A to B, but in the end we manage to get there as a party.

I thought she did very well there, in defense of the teacher's unions and other liberal ideals. I also thought she promoted a strong image for our country as Secretary of State.

I think she will therefore have solid experience in both foreign and domestic policy issues when she becomes President.

She will also represent another historic and progressive vote that will change our American perspective forever.

Maybe we didn't talk so much about race and gender in 2008, but 2016 we got us a Grandmother!

We've sure had an army of Grandpas!

Let's fix this now! For my mother, my wife, and my daughter!

Amidst the worst kind of character assassination. She and President Obama share that trait.

I also believe she has the best resume of any candidate. She was a terrific mom - to me that means she understands the challenges women face.

Her UN speech. I'm very left wing economically, so I know I'm never going to get my whole wish list in a candidate on that front--but I am getting sick of how much this country hates women.

Our advances over the last few years have also come with a lot of struggle to control women's choices and bodies. It's time to call that what it is--bigotry. I think a President Hillary Clinton would energize feminism, inspire more women to run for office, and empower young women.

I have always been an Obama Girl, you know that.

They have come a long way, down a very bumpy road. They have both grown stronger and wiser. I love them both for their strength and wisdom. They stand for us.

They have each others backs.



It will be Hillary 2016~

I have never seen anyone so poised after having years of garbage thrown at her.

Her resume is the best. No one, on either side, has her qualifications or experience.

I think she will be able to handle any crisis. She will have a former President at her side, and she will choose the best possible advisors.

I think she can help us take back the Senate.

Of course, there is the Supreme Court as well.
