In reply to the discussion: For those who would prefer a different presidential candidate than Hillary [View all]MineralMan
(151,287 posts)Hillary is old. She's almost the same age I am, in fact. I know that I wouldn't have the energy to run for President or to do the job, for that matter. But I'm not in the race. Frankly, I'd prefer someone who is younger, more progressive, and who has an abundance of energy and charisma. Obama was perfect on those counts in 2008.
I'm not a huge Hillary Clinton fan at all. If she's the nominee, of course, I'll work to get her elected, but I'd like to see some alternatives in the primaries. As I said much earlier, if Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren are on the primary ballot here in Minnesota, I'll vote for one of them. I'll caucus for either of them, too, at the precinct caucuses and conventions.
There's no mistake, whoever gets the nomination will have my full support. But we could use some choices for 2016.
