9. No. Because Hillary would still be the President.

Not Warren or Sanders or whoever else her VP might be.

I think Hillary Clinton would make a terrible President. She's too old. She's too much a creature of the past. She represents the Republican wing of the Democratic Party.

Back in late '07, early '08, I ran across some college students who were all ga-ga over the possibility of Condi Rice running for President. It was crystal clear that they only saw that she was female and black, and thought she'd just be perfect. They hadn't a clue how completely unsuited for running for the office, let alone how spectacularly unsuited she was for the job.

And yes, I know all of you Hillary defenders are going to say you are thinking and that you think she'd make a wonderful President, and I'm saying you're wrong. She's not progressive. She does not support the middle and working classes. She's happy with bank bailouts and wars. I'm sure she's a wonderful human being, but I do not want her as President.
