6. Back in 2007, I recall some talk about her running for President.

Jun 2016

At the junior college where I was taking a couple of classes, some of the young ladies there were totally swooning over that possibility. The ONLY thing they could see was that Rice was a female, although they did also notice she's African American. They only saw the symbolism of her run, and nothing of substance, such as her alignment with the worst President ever, not to mention the fact she'd never run for office and would clearly not be up to those demands.

Which actually brings up an important point about Hillary. Her two runs for Senate were against astonishingly weak opponents. She faced no real opposition. In 2008 she ran a terrible campaign. In 2016 she ran a somewhat better campaign, but mainly benefitted from the fact that the media almost totally ignored Bernie, the DNC did everything possible to protect her from any challenge, and of course what is probably massive voter fraud.

If the Donald really gets the Republican nomination (and it's hard to envision a scenario to keep it from him), she'll win because once again she has an astonishingly weak and incompetent opponent. NOT because she's such a fabulous candidate. Not when some 55% of voters don't trust or like her.
