I'm With Her...

94. A potentially great president

1) sanctions against Iran that gave Kerry leverage. that took getting countries to do something they did not want to do. in general as SOS she was implementing President's goals and vision (which may have been overly optimistic in some cases, e.g., with regard to the Arab Spring) although one gets the sense he gives Kerry more leeway as they didn't have the same kind of personal history. as a president, she will be able to build alliances and deal with the toughest countries out there - Russia, China, Iran probably - without being taken advantage of.
expect her to lead on climate change, women's rights, quite possibly education, and to achieve some improvement in progressiveness of tax code

2) she will be pro LGBT. it is pretty clear to me that she was articulating political stances to the right of her true beliefs at some points. She, like Obama, needed a Biden to break the ice on it. fair enough. she will have positions that vary from moderate Democrat to liberal Democrat - more of the latter than her husband. she sometimes swerves to the left of or to the right of that. In this, she is like most politicians.


she is certainly not perfect - she has a 40+ year record you can comb through.
