For the record, I hope she stays in the race for a long time. Once she gets trotted out in front of mainstream America, she will get pummeled.
How many Democrats have declared? Two? And one is presently engaged in the very meaningful business of trying to get legislation passed that benefits middle class Americans, unlike his counterparts in the Republican Party. It's not like Hillary has to get a head start on anyone at present.

The GOP, on the other hand, has a pediatric brain surgeon (perfect because he can relate to the mentality of the average FOX viewer) a former Gov. and southern preacher (experienced snake handler) and a disgraced former CEO who fired thousands of employees while the company she ran tanked. And the good news is she is no longer the only women in the GOP race, as Lindsey Graham has also declared she is running for President.

Remember folks, everyone on the left isn't a hateful bigot... but most hateful bigots are on the left.

Hillary knows its better to keep her mouth shut. After all, look at all the fumbling and stumbling of Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio last week.

She has to look at them and just smile.

I'm not bigoted against women running for President, I'm quite glad the GOP has two of them running. It is a sign of progress, even if both are terrible choices.

I like his thinking of "Don't throw away the good waiting for the perfect." There's compromise if ever there was one.
Hillary has already come out and flatly stated that she will work for a path to citizenship in a comprehensive immigration reform. She has stated that she will push the Congress for equal pay for women as federal law.
So far all I've heard of any one of the Republican's platform are "I hate Hillary", Kill the ACA and let's send 10,000 troops to Iraq to fight ISIS. A head start to another gigantic cluster-Fu............but I digress.

Frankly, I'd love to see Warren get the nod, but she has just as much chance as Cruz. Slim to none and Slim just left town.
Um, no.

Bill had several bubbles (dot com among others) including a massive expansion of PRIVATE debt after loosening credit card regs. Bush 2 bubbled it along with housing....Obama inherited the crap-storm. That Clinton created a wonderful economy is a load of BS....and the same goes for Reagan....they just found different ways to juice the economy and leave the mess for the next guy.

Hillary:

1) You believe that she is honestly going to push for immigration reform once she gets past the elections? (This is "take those profits" Hillary after all, never one to angle for votes with what are clearly political lies)

2) Equal pay for women by federal law? There are already avenues of recourse for this where it occurs and most of the studies I've seen are horribly biased. The lilly ledbetter act was a trojan horse loaded with tack on items to force a republican objection so they could use it as a "see they hate women issue". Most legislation anymore is posturing in this manner.

3) Repubs aren't overturning ACA, that's pandering to the rwnj part of the platform....just like Hillary is with immigration reform etc. ACA is here to stay despite it's warts. Notice Hillary is distancing herself from any of it's negative aspects as much as possible?

4) Troops. Eff that. Anyone that I deem a serious hawk won't get my vote. Mostly that's rwnj's pandering to the far right that thinks it's a good idea only because Obama (correctly) opposes it.

In short, what you are hearing right now is Hillary telling you what you want to hear and republicans telling the far right what they want to hear. Both are lying. lol.

Didn't you love the headlines and teasers from Queen Hillary's subjects in the media? Hillary Clinton Breaks Her Silence/Answers Questions.....

Yeah...on her way to the limo.

My favorite, from George Stephanopoulos (now established as being her lackey): And Hillary Clinton facing the press for the first time in weeks! Well...I suppose she was looking at them.

Not that anybody expected anything substantive (such as a followup to her asinine "I made a mistake") from the lineup of smiling fools with microphones...

Ah, so people that dislike Hillary and think she is a poor choice....are bigoted war on women types.....but when you dislike them it's because you disagree with their history and politics.

Then again, you are supporting Hillary which we learned in 2008 was something that white racists did.

Hmmmmm.....once is a coincidence....but twice?

Obviously you don't know why or else you'd know that Bill had little to do with it.

The credit for that budget surplus goes to two events:
1. The explosion of the internet.
2. The explosion on Wall Street due to 401k investing.
