Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumWhy I'm Voting for Hillary, and Not for Sanders (HILLARY GROUP)
First: The Presidency is more than a set of promises, its about the unpredictable, its about all the issues we dont even know are issues yet. The Presidency is about foreign policy, and making decisions under pressure, and about commanding our military presence around the world. Hillary Clinton is by far the most qualified, experienced candidate for President in modern times. I think that experience counts for something, I think it has prepared her to confront one of the most complicated sets of foreign policy challenges any President has confronted in decades.
Second: The Presidency is about legislative action. Hillary Clinton has laboriously built alliances in Washington and across the 50 states. She is ACTUALLY building the infrastructure of a political revolution because shes laying the groundwork necessary to actually get things done, to convince other democrats to join her in her policies. And those policies WILL be liberal. She is not a republican, and independent, non-partisan analysis of her records and rhetoric show that shes a liberal on par with Elizabeth Warren.
Third: The Presidency is about the future of the party. Whether we like the two party system or not, the democratic party is the thing between us and the GOP. Talk about the billionaire class being in charge! The GOP makes no bones about being owned by their contributors. It takes money and party building to keep the GOP at bay. It will take a strong democratic party to actually achieve campaign finance reform, to successfuly bring about and defend policies that help rebuild the middle class. Has the party system done a great job so far? No. But destroying the one party that, at the very least accepts that we need to do something about it, as a response to not having done enough results in having nothing done at all....

(1,307 posts)What has Warren done? She would be as lost as Bernie running this country. Hillary has as much experience as any presidential candidate I can remember.
Again I will defend Hillary against all comers..Including Warren.

(4,309 posts)Yes,they will!
Hillary has the intelligence, the experience and the toughness to be a great President. Her liberal record speaks for itself. I think she has the best chance of winning and building on the foundation of Obama. That is why I support Hillary Clinton.

These alliances are of no significance whatsoever anymore.
Haven't you been paying attention the past 15 years?
Definition of insanity: following the same course and expecting a different result.
