In reply to the discussion: Iowa poll: Hillary Clinton, Chris Christie Tied (41%-41% 2016 Matchup) [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)I have to say, Hillary is not my first choice for her hawkishness and seeming lack of caring for working people. It's possible that there is a great deal I'm missing.
Even Obama was not my first choice in 2008 until I learned more about him. Then it was my conclusion he was better suited temperment wise for the job, less a politican, more a philosopher than any of the others.
But she is firm on health care, women's and children, and taking care of minorities and the poor, core Demcratic values.
So I'd vote for her. But my feeling that Rand has a good chance is from the 2010 election that got him into power.
If anything, his base is stronger and more fanatical than it was then. Seeing all the changes across the country, I see him as real danger to the USA continued existance.
Other than this recent push for her on websites, I don't see that she would have any interest in the postition, either. I don't think people have an infinite ability to take the abuse put out there.
The RWNJs are already acting as if the 2014 and 2016 elections are on tomorrow. We should take the same approach, but it will be harder as we don't have Koch $s.
