Re: Campaign 2016 Part XXIII: The Penultimate Thread
Considering how incompetent everyone keeps claiming she is, do you really think that?
Especially considering how many times people have pointed out how bad she was at keeping secrets in e-mails.
We are pushing 30 years of constant investigation so far. Nothing.
If she's that brilliant, seems to be a good leader of some people- as they manage to keep really quiet. And lots of loyal people, too. Makes a good leader. Should make a good President.
I agree with you that she is very smart. I also agree that she has engendered loyalty out of her closest staff members, but I don't think that's unusual at that level of politics.
Where I really disagree with you is about whether she will be a good President. I just don't think she will.
For HRC, it is all about the power and prestige of being President, and being the first female President, and how much money can she later milk out of it. Can anyone really point me to
anything she has done in politics, other than holding certain positions. What exactly are her accomplishments?
See, I don't agree with the fanboys here who think being a Senator or being Secretary of State is an accomplishment in and of itself. Show me something she's actually done with this power she has been a part of for 20-30 years.
Was she leading the charge in 2001 against going into Iraq and later Afghanistan? Was she introducing bills to keep us out of the housing crisis?
I was curious, so this weekend I tried to find out for myself exactly what she thinks she's going to do during her Presidency.
Here is one list. Half these things aren't even proposals. They're just things like "I'll fight the Republicans." For those that are actual proposals, these are topics that have been around for years. Did she ever think of authoring a bill in the Senate to try to resolve these problems 10-15 years ago? Why do we think she'll get it done now?
Again, I'll ask, what exactly has she done, and what is it you think she's going to do during these next 4-8 years that will make her a "good" President? She's going to be a status quo President, nothing more, nothing less.
