25. No. She had her run, unfair and unfortunate though it may be...

...it is time for new, younger persons to step up. And you are right, Hillary is eminently qualified, however, her political shelf-life is rapidly reaching it's "sell by" date.

Also, something that cannot be overlooked, is the sheer polarizing power of Hillary Clinton. No matter the educational outreach or the massive amounts of funds spent on PR, Clinton still evokes a visceral NEGATIVE response in a certain portion of the American electorate. Consider that there really are people that believed -and still believe- that Hillary and Podesta were/are running a satanic, pedophile cult from a non-existent basement of a Georgetown pizza restaurant.
