that is the reason I do not feel she should be president. Corporations over people is not what we need now, we have never needed it, and we as a voting public should know that by now. If we didn't have any other choice, I'd say oh well the country is going down the tubes and protest vote for the Green party or something, but we do have a choice and that choice is Bernie Sanders. He has fought for us for decades.

She's narcissistic. Grandiose. Entitled. Thin-skinned. Ruthless.

She wants to be president because it's her turn. The Clintons have stolen more than enough from the taxpayers to keep themselves in style for several lifetimes but she still wants more. It's the ultimate power trip and she's not running so that she can do something positive for America or the people. She just wants to wear the crown.

She is light years preferable to any current republican candidate...admittently not difficult for most sane people.

We have to get back to a progressive tax system and cut the Defense Budget responsibly. We need to push hard to get rid of our dastardly and cruel for profit health care system....still there under Obamacare. Seriously people should not go deep in debt while fighting cancer...so some UHC exec can buy a third house.

I have little faith she will even try to get any of this done even halfway.

Then there is this.....Bush....Clinton.....Bush...then after Obama....another Clinton. Then Chelsea can be eligible, yea! We fought a war with Britain to get away from this did we not?

To answer the question directly not really sure what she really stands for.

Throughout her campaign, I cannot remember how many times I heard her say in reply to questions,"I'll look into that". Is she so ill informed that she can not answer questions from her audience?

She may have worked hard during her career in politics but I see no real opportunity for change if she is the Democratic candidate.
Her background has been, in my mind, very self-serving. I have yet to hear her promise to fight for any real change in the direction of this country.

We all know that the state of the union is a mess. All I can see with a Clinton presidency is more of the same old, same old.
Obstructionist congress, ineffectual President. I'm done with it. I need to see someone fight for Every-man. I'm sure that I would not happen with Hillary.

This old timer is 'Feeling the Bern!' For my family, my friends, my country.
