Reply #81: Quite. What has she actually done? [View All]

Understand, I'm not slamming Hillary here but what has she done that qualifies her to be president? She has a decent record but I don't think anyone's arguing that many others have better records. She's neither especially charismatic nor especially likeable (which is not to say that she's especially dislikeable or uncharismatic) and has an annoying habit of pandering. Her experiance is questionable (how much political work do First Ladies actually do?) and since I'm a Brit, the fact that she's a woman isn't a novelty to me.

Understand, I'm sure she'd make a decent president if elected but I'm equally sure that some of the other candidates (Kucinich especially) would be far better. If her husband hadn't been president then she wouldn't even be in the running now. Even if she had been elected in New York, she certainly wouldn't have been all but handed the nomination at this stage of her career (maybe in eight years if she did well in New York).

I just don't get it.
