There's one thing that's undeniable about Hillary. [View all]

She's ready made for the job.

She has that sense of gravitas and experience and calculation that you would expect a President to have years into his or her term. There's no need for a transitioning period for her. At this point, she's already ready for the Oval Office.

Much as I was thrilled when both Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were elected, admittedly at the very beginning of their terms there was a sense that they had big shoes to grow into. Bill was the governor of a small southern state, and Obama only had four years prior experience on the federal level. Now, no doubt about it, by the end of their terms they were both rock stars, but they had to first build up that image of being President.

The thing about Hillary being in the public eye for the past 25 years is that it's trained her exceptionally well to the point she already possesses the poise we'd expect in a seasoned President.
