Hillary Clinton Grabs Early Lead In The World Primary

[DemocratSinceBirth]

WASHINGTON -- This April, London was in the grip of a ferocious campaign for Parliament. But on the morning of April 13, neither Conservative David Cameron nor Labourite Ed Miliband led the front pages of the U.K.'s national newspapers. The big news that day was Hillary Clinton, announcing (to no one’s surprise) that she was running for president of the United States.

And so far, she seems to be winning the race overseas.

A recent YouGov poll found that 61 percent of Britons and 59 percent of Germans have a positive opinion of Clinton, while just 20 percent and 24 percent, respectively, see her in a negative light. Fifty percent of Britons and 51 percent of Germans think it would be good for the world if she were elected president.

The former secretary of state is also a hit elsewhere around the world. In Canada, admirers stood in line for nearly 20 hours last year for signed copies of her book. Her speaking fees may be controversial in the U.S., but she spoke to sold-out crowds Up North who were happy to pay.

7. It's worth mentioning that the current president, unlike his predecessor, is fairly popular abroad

as well. Hillary would be the continuity that the world is looking for, and the voters of this country will demand. From immigration, to healthcare, issues of race, police corruption, marriage equality, etc. Hillary will make sensible decisions on these matters. Anything you hear to the contrary is just noise. Thanks for posting.

8. That's ok

Because once she starts bombing Syria, the rest of the world will remember how the Clintons were the arrogant jerks that rode lone superpower status over the world.

BTW, there are two places she will NEVER be popular, China and Russia.
