If Hillary gets into office, do you trust her enough to:

1) be in charge of the Justice Department?
2) be in charge of the CIA/NSA?
3) be the one who will determine if we have to go to war or not, let alone setting the course on how we got to that point?

Thanks

Hillary Clinton is first and foremost the husband of Bill Clinton.

Secondly, then, at best, she is a second-hand loud-mouthed power broker.

She talks smarter, or tries to, than she actually is, but I know a lot of people like that.

So the real question is whether we want basically the same set of people, with slight variation every four years or so, making the decisions pretty much on the same course over the past 25 years or so, and whether or not we want her face and mouth to be the public's view of it.

Either way, not the end of the world, but nothing to get excited about either.

Biggest word manipulator and practiced on the hard questions. Either she diminishes the seriousness of the situation or acts dumb.

Hillary can talk her way out of the worst situations which is dangerous for this country. She has done damage to Americans security and if we knew it all , we would be shocked to the extent of her manipulation to get power and money.

I do not trust her at all. She is worse than any typical politician today, at least on average we can believe half of what comes out of a politicians mouth with her it is all lies for her own gain.

She is a master at the game of politics. The trouble is we don't need a game player we need a leader that believes in America and not just the power, the prestige and the lining of pockets that comes with the office.

I suspect many of the votes you will get will be along partisan lines, irrespective of whether people genuinely think she is honest or not.
However I would note that it was not all that long ago many (D's) were fairly normal/moderate, and they just kept the leftist kooks in the closet until it was time to let them put to vote.
Unfortunately like Frankenstein's monster, they have now wrestled power away with the likes of Obama/Pelosi etc. to where you have the front runner trying to get to the left of an avowed socialist.


In answer to the question, I think she is one of the most dishonest politicians to run in my lifetime, and that is saying a lot.

I trust her on those responsibilities way more than I trust Trump or Cruz.

Agreed. No one can doubt that Clinton knows the issues, whether you agree with her positions or not. Trump, on the other hand, has demonstrated again and again that he has no clue about anything other than telling us how rich and how great he is. Even he knows he's a lightweight in that regard, which is why he ran away from tonight's debate. It's not about him being afraid of Megyn Kelly, it's about him being afraid of real, tough questions which will expose just how ignorant he truly is regarding things that a president needs to understand.
