So Hillary cant even CONSIDER running again?

191. Although I can understand someone wanting a new face,

the same old ones being sooo boring, still! Should that rule? Shouldn't we look for stimulation elsewhere and go for character and ability to do the job well?

It's hard to establish "able" since no one starting a first term has ever done the job before. Still. Speaking of what goes into "able," beyond the ability to project youth to those who want that, maybe name to yourself someone you honestly think is both younger and abler than Hillary Clinton. You say there are many. Just grab any ol' one and think about it?

Fwiw, I believe ability absolutely at least requires intense preparation for the job beforehand. I didn't make up that one for Hillary. It was, though, the big reason I voted for her over Obama in the primary, even though I voted for him gladly in the GE.

But I don't for a moment believe Hillary would have wasted our congressional majorities in an attempt to end the dysfunctional division in congress. I rooted for Obama's attempt because it is a huge national problem and he very reasonably thought his election might signal big change, and maybe it might work. Hillary learned the hard way beforehand what today's Republicans have become, though, while youthful, inspiring Obama learned the hard way in the oval office.
