Friend in college once suggested we give a newly elected President keys to Ft. Knox and let him take his fill. Then he can go about governing for the people with no worry of his economic future. The Clinton's have money. I suggest she will be more inclined to establish a progressive legacy and set an example for the daughter and lay a path for future female candidates. She was born two days after I made it here and although I'm very healthy I couldn't imagine tackling what she will face at this age without better reasons than money.

of any of the elite who have established a progressive legacy because they were satisfied with the money that they had. When has having (ample ++) resources stopped the rich and powerful from acting in their own interests (by protecting their own wealth) rather than helping the rest of us?

was when she said 'no more dynasties' (in regards to Jeb Bush running for potus). That includes Clintons.
We have to do better, folks.

Since the PTB need someone pro-corporation.

Sounds like she's the perfect candidate.

14. "She is GOOD on the Social Issues"?

The BIGGEST "Social Issue" is Economic Fairness.
Almost all of the "Social Issues" fall under the umbrella of Economic Fairness.


One can NOT be "GOOD on the Social Issues" if he/she continues to support the Economic Policies that have transferred the Wealth of this country from the Working Class & The Poor to the Top 1% over the last 30 years.

One can NOT be Good for Wall Street
and GOOD on the "Social Issues" at the same time.

Thank You, Mike Papantonio,
for pointing out that Hillary's money is coming from Wall Street.


Thanks for posting this.
I listened to Ed Schultz and Bob Shrum declare Hillary inevitable yesterday
because she has the most money.

I am about to start posting frequently the many reasons why we have to call Hillary on her shit and demand a better candidate before it's goo late.

NAFTA, Tata, IWR, are just the better known reasons.
