17. #5 - Clinton is already recognized as a leader, around the world.

Perception is power. Hillary already has a level of "gravitas" on the world stage that some dopes (like Scott Walker) will never achieve.

#6 - Hillary will fight on issues of gender equality with a level of conviction that nobody else will match.

#7 - Hillary understands the political opposition. She invented the phrase (still accurate today) "the vast right wing conspiracy". I believe she can reach across the aisle in a a sensible way to accomplish goals, and if she needs to triangulate she will do it to her side's advantage. She will not make some of the mistakes President Obama made, in a search for bipartisanship. I believe she can be more effective than Bernie Sanders, because of her national experience.
