Can I Ask The Brave Among Us To Answer A Question ??? [View all]

Why Hillary ???

There are some who still think she got screwed in 2008, and it's her turn.

There are some who think she's a lock for a win in 2016, and that's enough.

There are some that want to see the first female President of the U.S., and that's enough.

There are many that think she's misunderstood, and will be a female model of current liberalism.

There are a multitude of reasons... So no polls here.

Just a question: What's YOUR reason ???

I hope she doesn't run. catbyte Jan 2015 #32

Because they've heard of her, and she's the only one the media are covering Lydia Leftcoast Jan 2015 #37

I will happily vote for her if she wins the primary. Agnosticsherbet Jan 2015 #39

Has she officially thrown her hat in the ring? KMOD Jan 2015 #40

There are no GOOD reasons. immoderate Jan 2015 #41

The better question to ask is why is she even a Democrat? ChosenUnWisely Jan 2015 #45

She's a Democrat, she can win, and she can lead- aikoaiko Jan 2015 #46

First and foremost, I like and respect her: she's smart and tough Algernon Moncrieff Jan 2015 #48

I'll answer with another question - wyldwolf Jan 2015 #49
