59. She's very frail

Tue Jul 1, 2014, 03:05 PM

Jul 2014

100 lbs, 80 years old, often in a wheel chair because of the battering she took fighting pancreatic cancer in 2009. In the 90's she had colon cancer. Her mother died of cancer. She should have resigned in 2008 when Obama had a better chance.

I think by not retiring in a timely way she's taken too big a risk with the welfare of the country.

You can't seriously think she has another 12 years in her, which is what we'll need if a Republican President gets 2 terms in 2016.
