In reply to the discussion: Why I Wouldn't Vote for Hillary if She Ran in 2016... [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)those who keep posting as if Campaign Season for 2016 has already started. I have no idea who the candidates will be for 2016...and so much can happen...I wonder why we don't focus on the HERE AND NOW.. We just re-elected Obama...and yet there are those already seemingly vowed to commit to Hillary for 2016...and so I am replying why I would not support her in answer.
I think it's too early to be talking about 2016 because it distracts from what is going on NOW which will bring forth candidates for '16 and since there was already seeming a growing Hillary Candidacy Support Group...I expressed my opinion as to why one of the reasons I wouldn't support her was...NAFTA...also I might add her vote on the Iraq Invasion and the Clinton Team's involvement with founding DLC --which I supported when they first did their "Get Away Conferences" in SC way back.
I no longer support DLC/THIRD WAY or NEO Liberal Policy. At the time the Clinton's were involved, early on, it seemed a good idea for us Dems since we were losing elections. But, in retrospect, it was TERRIBLE for the country. NAFTA, Welfare Reform, Media de-regulation, end of Glass-Steagall, (Depression era legislation), which kept Investment Banking separate from Community Banking which lead to Global Financial Crash starting with Gone Wild Wall Street speculating in Real Estate and CDS speculation bubble and then Banking Implosion which hit US and Eurozone and has had ramifications internationally causing terrible hardships for ordinary citizens of all the countries involved in the speculation by Wall Street.
There's more...but, this is enough! I'd like to see Fresh Faces and Policy Ideas that differ from the failed ones of the past.
