(17,385 posts)Other than that, an honest post that touches on some of my conclusions about a Clinton presidency, too.
I WISH that I didn't feel that way. Hillary is TOUGH, smart, and incredibly knowledgeable about the job. And I'd love to have a woman president.
I've often thought that President Obama, and to a lesser extent the Clintons, were masters at walking the line between getting some good stuff done for the people while still fully satisfying the elites. Case in point, ACA. I've been grateful to them for at least providing a viable alternative to the dreadful GOP.
But the "greed complex" which links big business and billionaires to the government that serves them has nearly killed us. It's time to tackle this difficult root problem because we can't make progress or undo the consequential damage to the American public of the decisions made in service to the elites over the last 35 years.
