If for no other reasons, we need to have candidates who present ideas other than the dull, old Clinton ideas.
Clinton polls so high because people remember with nostalgia the Bill Clinton era. As we now know, the seeds for our economic disaster were laid during Clinton's presidency.
We need to at least hear about alternatives to the status quo. And that is all that Hillary Clinton represents.
If she runs and is elected, she will be a one term president. That is not good for the Democratic Party.
Why do I predict that if she runs and is elected, she will win only one term? Because she relies on the same old corporate funders, the same DLC ideas as Bill Clinton, and those ideas are from the past. They will not solve today's problems. They will not appeal to today's citizens --not for the long term, not for a second term.
I certainly hope that we can do better than Hillary Clinton. Really sad when a political party has so little creativity, so few innovative ideas that it has to rely on candidates from the past to bear its banner in elections. We can do better than Hillary Clinton.
