Premature and possibly out of line, but maybe I am not alone [View all]

I don't want Hillary to run. I think she would be a fine candidate, probably no better than anyone else, and certainly no worse. That being said, think about how much the right wing hated her husband? They hate her even more. I'm kind of tired of having to deal with their non-stop stupidity and imagined non-scandals. When her husband was President, they distracted him and this country with relentless litigation and investigations. For some reason, I think it will be worse with her. I just think it will drive them nuts, and in the end, our country will be worse off for it. Does it suck that a competent candidate should bow out to avoid the irrational reaction of nutjobs? Absolutely. Will they hate almost any candidate that presents themselves as a Democrat, and make up stories about them building concentration camps and taking away our guns? Absolutely. I just think it would be far worse if that Democrat is Hillary. And frankly, I am also a little tired of political dynasties. I don't think Bill Clinton was all that great that the Clintons should now be a dynasty.
