Legislative accomplishments? Personal accomplishments? Record as secretary of state?
It's going to be an interesting election, for sure. The pro-war, neo-conservative torch looks like it will be in the hands of the Democratic candidate, whereas the pro-peace and pro-freedom candidate will most likely be the Republican. Interesting times for sure.

I am not a big fan of Hillary but if the GOP cannot learn from it's past mistakes I will back her in 2016.
Several college degrees would be an accomplishment for her and anyone.
What sponsored bills was she able to get passed in the senate? I feel a sponsored bill would be an accomplishment.
Being elected with the name Clinton in deeply blue New York I guess is an accomplishment but what did she do while in the senate that would be called an accomplishment?
Judging an accomplishment is of course a matter of opinion, so I am asking for what legislations or moves in the senate in your opinion is an accomplishment
.
In your opinion what were her accomplishments as SS . Do you in your opinion see any failures as SS

She seems to have raised a successful and rather likeable daughter.

Using Google I found this (below), pretty much sums it up, other than her ability to drive both Libs and Cons crazy, ok maybe she drives Cons a little more crazy, but then again some would say that is a major plus.
"Although her major initiative, the Clinton health care plan failed, it certainly set the groundwork for the health care law we have today, the Affordable Care Act. And she played a leading role in advocating the creation of the State Children's Health Insurance Program, which provides state support for children whose parents cannot provide them with health coverage. She promoted nationwide immunization against childhood illnesses. She also played a leading role in creation of the Adoption and Safe Families Act and the Foster Care Independence Act. She encouraged older women to seek a mammogram for early detection of breast cancer (which is covered by Medicare) and successfully sought to increase research funding for prostate cancer and childhood asthma at the NIH. She worked to investigate illnesses that were reportedly affecting Veterans of the Gulf War; now commonly known as Gulf War Syndrome. And she created an Office on Violence Against Women at the Department of Justice. She is also the first first lady to hold a post graduate degree, and she traveled to more countries than any other first lady had at that time.
As a U.S. senator, she was the first first lady to be elected to this office. She was instrumental in securing $21 billion in funding for the World Trade Center site's redevelopment. She subsequently took a leading role in investigating the health issues that 9/11 first responders were facing.
After visiting soldiers in Iraq, Clinton noted that the insurgency had failed to disrupt the democratic elections held earlier, and that parts of the country were functioning well. Noting that war deployments were draining regular and reserve forces, she cointroduced legislation to increase the size of the regular Army by 80,000 soldiers to ease the strain and supported retaining and improving health benefits for veterans. She also she introduced the Family Entertainment Protection Act.
That was just in her first term. She was easily re-elected and accomplished much in her second term as well. And who can forget her run for the presidency, receiving more than 17 million votes during the nomination process?
As our secretary of state, Clinton visited 112 countries, helping to repair a badly damaged U.S. reputation. She advocated an expanded role in global economic issues for the State Department and cited the need for an increased U.S. diplomatic presence, especially in Iraq, where the Defense Department had conducted diplomatic missions. Clinton unveiled the Global Hunger and Food Security program, prevailed over Vice President Biden to send an additional 21,000 troops to Afghanistan, saved the signing of a Turkish-Armenian accord, and assisted the president with major decisions as to the U.S. position with regard to the revolution in Egypt and the decision to use military force in Libya."
Whether or not I agree whether she did a good job or not is not the point, I have stated many times I would prefer a good GOP candidate over her, but the above answers your question better than I could.
Attempting to do so would be as useless as a blind man turning around to look.
If Hillary runs, there isn't a Republican alive who can beat her. This is all the greatness you need to know about...and don't you forget it either.
I disagree, she can be beaten but it will take the right GOP Candidate, there are more than a few Libs that are not crazy about Hillary sitting at the desk in the oval office. The bigger question is can the GOP accomplish that simple task, if the past is any indicator we are going to get another 8 years of whining after Obama retires.

“My accomplishments as Secretary of State? Well, I'm glad you asked! My proudest accomplishment in which I take the most pride, mostly because of the opposition it faced early on, you know… the remnants of prior situations and mindsets that were too narrowly focused in a manner whereby they may have overlooked the bigger picture and we didn’t do that and I’m proud of that. Very proud. I would say that’s a major accomplishment.”
Hillary Clinton 11-March-2014
Could someone please tell me what she just said? And that’s the best she could come up with!
