Is Hillary Clinton running for Bill Clinton's 3rd term?

49. I disagree with her being the most qualified or experienced or knowledgeable candidate.

In 2008 she tried running on the fact that she was First Lady. Doing so she incorrectly claimed to have contributed to the peace treaty in Ireland. When called out on this she responded with some nonsense about there not being tea served on that runway in Bosnia that she landed on. Then it evolved into the airplane making evasive maneuvers before landing and then eventually she claimed, over and over again for several weeks, that she had run from the airplane to a vehicle because of snipers. All of that was bull shit. If her being First Lady was applicable experience for being President, she would not have needed to concoct such ridiculous lies in order to claim that it was. It wasn't.


She was in the Senate for ~8 years. Yes, she won 2 elections in her entire life. Both for her carpetbagged Senate seat in a deep blue state with huge media markets. Most any well funded (D) could have won those elections. Her time in the Senate was unremarkable, at best. No major legislative accomplishments and some horrible errors including her vote for W.'s Bankruptcy Bill and her 19 minute speech convincing others to vote to go to war in Iraq. Plus her misplaced vote on that subject. Simply spending 8 years in that seat does not make her qualified. Her time there just reinforces how poor her judgment is.

She was then Sec. of State for ~4 years. We have not elected a former Sec. of State to the Presidency since Buchanan and he is viewed as one of the worst in history. I agree that she did an acceptable job in that position. Unfortunately has people like Henry Kissinger as role models. She may be knowledgeable on foreign policy but her judgment still sucks. Try to name one military conflict that she has not supported. Good luck with that. You may as well be supporting John McCain based on foreign policy. There is very little difference.


You can make unqualified claims all you want. That does not make them true. You should consider the possibility that she will be a terrible President. The long list of horrible mistakes she has made should at least raise that possibility. What happens when the first woman President turns out to be a really bad one? Won't history record that too?


Nominating her would be a mistake.
