16. My feelings over the years
Fri Jan 26, 2018, 02:19 PM
Jan 2018

about Hillary have been mixed, but I can say that she always came across as competent, experienced, and knowledgeable. I have no doubt she would have been an excellent president and with what she has endured for 25 plus years, she is as tough if not tougher than any male president.

Hillary is not a natural politician, but she is a natural leader. There are plenty of charismatic politicians out there, but their charm doesn't always translate into dynamic leadership. Sadly in this country, many picked politicians, like contestants on American Idol - all personality, but little substance.
