(25,699 posts)I'm at best neutral on Clinton. She didn't achieve much as Senator - except helping get us into Iraq. As Secretary of State, she failed massively on the Arab Spring and the re-dictatoring of Egypt, not only helping preserve autocracies in these states but sending a clear message to the people there that America prefers them subjugated. I'm... not impressed by this.
So I look in these threads wondering if someone can sell me on achievements, stances, accomplishments that i may have missed. I see frequent assertions that she's super-qualified, but I never see the basis for these assertion. I almost get the impression that she's "most qualified" simply because she's the first one out the gate.
If she's the best candidate, i'll vote for her in the primaries. But so far as i can see, she's the only candidate, there's bound to be several more, and what i have on her is her foreign policy record, which reads like Wolfowitz.
