(151,210 posts)she's not a Republican.
She has the right approach to most social issues. She has enough experience with global and domestic issues to understand them. She's not as progressive in her economic beliefs as I am, but nobody who has the potential to be elected President does, as far as I can tell. She has broad support from likely voters and appears to have an excellent chance of being elected, instead of a Republican.
I am a Democrat. I vote for Democrats. If Hillary Clinton turns out to be the nominee of the Democratic Party, I will happily vote for her and encourage others to do the same. I've been doing that for Democratic candidates since 1960, when I was just a sophomore in high school. When Democrats are in office, they do better than Republicans across a wide spectrum of issues.
For the office of President, we get two choices who have a chance of winning. Just two. I vote for the Democrat, and hope enough people do the same to get that candidate elected.
Hillary Clinton is a Democrat. I like Democrats who win elections. She appears headed for the nomination, and I see no primary opponent yet who has a prayer of beating her. I think she can be elected in November, 2016. I like that OK. I get one vote in November. The Democratic candidate will get that vote. Absolutely.
