No. I can't stand either of the Clintons. I never thought I'd consider a Republican but Rand Paul would get my vote over Hillary.

That's just silly.

Michelle Obama is not a politician and has NO interest in becoming one.

After watching her for the past 6 years I get the feeling she enjoys politics very much. But whatever, lets assume she doesn't run. If Hillary gets elected that is 36 years during which 3 families ran this country. This isn't Game of Thrones.

"I think this is a great American country, and if we can't find more than two or three families to run for high office, that's silly." - Barbara Bush


Everyone wants to whine about the status quo yet we always put the same families in the White House, and just blame the one we didn't like.

I would have voted for Hillary in 2008.

No way would I vote for her now. Benghazi did it for me.

I would never vote for her- even if the Republican candidate was bad, I would just leave it blank.

How about you?
She wouldn't win in a landslide...

She couldn't defeat the man that ultimately became the most unpopular president in the nation's history in the primaries. Did you know that she was the president of "Young Republicans" at her law school? I wonder what Churchill would say about that? (No heart and no brain maybe...)

I would say I don't know, it will depend on who is running. I do think Hills would be a good candidate but there could be someone else in the wings that might be better. Until the GOP looses the extreme right wing mentality I won't support ANY GOP candidate. There was a time when I voted across party lines for who I though would be the best candidate but no more.

What this country needs is more middle of the roaders willing to work across the aisle to move this country forward, there is way too much divisiveness going on. While many on here will rail against Ted Kennedy he worked across the aisle and got a lot done. We need moderates from both sides NOT wingnuts from either side. I would also point to Barry Goldwater a true conservative who called it about what would happen when the religious right took over the GOP he shared many of my beliefs - strong separation of church and state, woman's healthcare, gay rights, but conservative on spending and being the world police among some of his stances. But in today's climate BG would end up an independent or Dem.

Exactly this.

I read an article yesterday that noted that Mrs. Clinton is already starting to channel Pres. Reagan.

It will only get worse as we get closer to 2016.
