I don't know to what extent, but I think that hatred hurt Hillary in some primaries in 2008 and might have helped tip the nomination to Obama. If so, that was a terrible mistake. Now I worry that we could see a repeat and tip the nomination to another truly crazy radical like Elizabeth Warren.
Hillary is a far left democrat. We don't agree on a lot of issues, but at least Hillary understands that the world kinda needs to work. Obama is a socialist/communist who neither knows nor cares what it takes for the world to work. That's why he can't lead. He's got an agenda to shove down our throats, and that's all that matters to him. Fortunately for us, even a sizable part of his own party doesn't buy in to his truly radical agenda. Warren makes Obama look like a centrist.
My only problem with Bill was was his sexual shenanigans and subsequent lying about it. I thought he did a good job as POTUS.

I really didn't mind Bill as a politician. He was more on the pragmatic side, which while some would say he didn't stick to his principles, actually allows for more to get done. Besides, other than his serial philandering and not being able to keep it under wraps, he projected an image of not being a bad guy.
Hillary on the other hand, has always seemed much more to the left, is I think more ideological than Bill was, and generally has seemed to be an angry b!tch. It's almost as if she can barely contain that angry, vindictive personality and it spills out from time to time.
Would she be better for the country than Elizabeth Warren - yep, but I'm not sure that is saying much. God, would I hate to work for her.

RE: BILL CLINTON'S LOVING WIFE
Former Maryland Governor O’Malley Takes First Shot At Hillary In Anticipation Of 2016 Run…
I wonder if the MSM will even pretend to cover any opponents Pantsuits might have.
Quote: Martin O’Malley, former governor of Maryland and potential Democratic presidential candidate, is taking the first shot of the 2016 race at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also a potential candidate for the White House.
O’Malley suggested in a speech in South Carolina on Saturday that a Clinton presidency would not “move America forward,” according to the New York Times.
“Triangulation is not a strategy that will move America forward,” O’Malley said in his speech, the Times reported. “History celebrates profiles in courage, not profiles in convenience.”

I'd definitely prefer Hillary to O'Malley.

I don't think I've ever gone from agreeing with someone so much to wholesale disagreeing with them this quickly Hah.
Good.
