My wife, mother, and niece would be very happy to vote for Hillary Clinton. cheapdate Jun 2014 #82

But she has not announced that she is running. Why don't we do 2014 before we settle 2016? Vincardog Jun 2014 #83

We are all aware that the election is not until 2016, cheapdate Jun 2014 #85

Do you think we need another Corporatist War Hawk leading our country? Vincardog Jun 2014 #92

The Hubert Humphrey of this upcoming election, Benton D Struckcheon Jun 2014 #51

Because... Chan790 Jun 2014 #43

All good points Gman Jun 2014 #45

Exactly. Hillary Clinton is remembered by many as a former United States Senator cheapdate Jun 2014 #87

Yes, because Republicans wouldn't come out in droves to vote against Warren. Beacool Jun 2014 #38

Actually a lot of R's will vote FOR Warren, as they understand the banksters are the real problem. Scuba Jun 2014 #41

It is concerning Gman Jun 2014 #25

Well, if a comedian says it, it must be true... brooklynite Jun 2014 #33

Hillary is almost unbeatable if she runs. cheapdate Jun 2014 #34

She could because she comes off as coached when she doesn't have to. That's how Obama beat her. craigmatic Jun 2014 #35

Just like Obama, no matter what she says, she'll be attacked. Blue_Adept Jun 2014 #61

So she should learn from Obama's treatment and just do and say what she wants anyway. Hell just tell craigmatic Jun 2014 #66
