Read some of the Trump thread, but would like to know what any thoughts are concerning Hillary Clinton?

Chances are pretty good, like it or not, she will be our next U.S. president.

Thanks!

Probably a predictable continuation of the Obama doctrine. She might have a penchant for being a bit more militaristic than Obama... She isn't going to rock the boat, but at the same time a whole lot more stable than Trump and will p*ss a lot less people off than him. She is the more sane choice of the two, since unfortunately Sanders campaign is berning out and his path to the Dem nomination is all but gone..

I agree - Billary will be the next POTUS - the odds are stacked against Trump demographically and politically. It will be popcorn worthy to see Trumps attacks though.. Hillary probably had to be 'nice' with Sanders but you'll probably see her nasty side come out with Trump - which is the real her so she'll be in her element against him and is probably looking forward to being able to let her claws out and not have to fake smile so much.

When even the pro-dems above have few good things to say about her, that's bad news.

I think she's untrustworthy and does not have her country's best interests in mind. A bought and paid for politician and a continuation of the status quo. This ignores some hair-raising independent testimonies to her private conduct as Secretary of State and First Lady which suggest that she is categorically unsuitable for office and morally reprobate, to put it mildly.

If she becomes POTUS, she will effectively be a third Obama term, continuing the trend line of economic and social decline. The US probably deserves her, unfortunately.

Trump, for all his faults, I think genuinely wants to do what his best for his country. I don't think anyone can really say the same about Clinton.

Barely a few years ago, pretty much the entire nation despised her. Now she's considered a suitable candidate for the presidency.

This is the media machine in action, a case study in how susceptible a significant subset of the general public are to various modes of subliminal suggestion. Ultimately, there's no excuse for the people of the U.S.A. on being amply forewarned:

Cattle futures.
Russian reset.
Sniper fire in Bosnia.
Benghazi.
Bill's sex victims.
$6 billion in State Department funds missing.
Foreign money.
Personal emails.

She's had "approval ratings" problems for years, yet she was ordained to stroll back into the White house to be put in charge. Trump is the best thing that could have happened to her. (Not to mention all the other numerous headaches that's been happening in the Republican party).

In the political forum there was discussion of Trump's VP pick. Someone joked about him choosing Sarah Palin, and if that happened, then I'll know for sure Trump and the Clintons are in cahoots! Lol! I'm not usually a conspiracy theorist, but I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. Donald Trump the obnoxious reality show star, and Bill Clinton's corrupt wife!

Oh well, at least the next few months will be entertaining! Popcorn indeed!

You wouldn't be alone in thinking that. Until this campaign, Donald Trump pretty much supported Democrats and even supported Obama in 2008. He has always been close with the Clinton's and their daughters are best friends. Maybe Trumps supporters have been bamboozled.

I don't like Trump, and I am not sure about Clinton. So for Americans it's really going to be a case of Beggars Can't Be Choosers.

There is at least one area of England where Clinton is popular, her Rodham ancestors were from County Durham in England.

As for Trump he's a mixture of German on his father's side and his mother was Scottish from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides
