1. She is extremely intelligent. Graduated with honors from Yale law school, senior class president at Wellesley.
2. She is very qualified - former first lady, former Senator of NY, former US Secretary of State, named one of the most powerful lawyers in America by National Law Journal.
3. She is committed to causes that better the lives of others - worked on Mondale's committee for migrant workers in 1971; Chaired the Arkansas Educational Standards Committee while husband Bill Clinton was Governor, co-founded the Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families. Her greatest achievement is the Global Health Initiative designed to improve medical facilities, reduce the spread of HIV, and lower infant and maternal mortality rates.
4. I like her stance on the issues -
Equal rights for gay and lesbians; supports gun control; opposes using "religious freedom" to justify cutting access to healthcare; supports equal rights for women; she's pro choice, pro labor.
5. With her husband Bill Clinton we get two for the price of one. Under his leadership we had the longest period of economic growth in the history of their company. His charisma and ability to work with the opposing political party can only be an asset.
6. If she is president, it means the following won't be:
Trump, Carson, Cruz, Rubio, Bush.

Dear Guest:
First --just exactly who suggested you go against the flow?
Secondly-- Jimmy Carter was the most intelligent of all presidents and look where that got us.
Third-- While Hillary's educational achievements are impressive as a lawyer she too often used her education for nefarious purposes such as Whitewater
Fourth-- We can lump most of her charitable work as schemes to enrich her and her husband ( ie work in Haiti Clinton Charitable foundation)
Fifth-- As to the issues she support any cause that would give her a vote irrespective of the affect it would have on the country. Each of these issues deserves separate discussion in other threads. Also remember in politics there is a quid pro quo arrangement...I'll say nice things about you if you support my cause...........ad nauseam
Sixth-- As Senator McClair (sp) said she'd keep her daughter far from Billy and recall billy did well with the economy because he had a Republican Congress
Seventh-- I suggest that the worst of the Republican candidates far exceeds the performance of Obama and if elected we only get 4 more years of misguided policies
So if someone really did suggest you go with the flow it was ill advised IMHO.
Personal Best Regards:
