[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me too. I think Hillary is actually quite qualified, but she's got so much baggage and I'm not fond of her on a personal level so I'm not sure I'd feel great about voting for her. I love Bernie's message but I simply don't think they are realistic for the US.

I will not vote for a Republican.

I'm a moderate who thinks differently.  Clinton has the skills, but she also has an  incredible lack of integrity.  She has proven for 30 years that she will do whatever she wants, whenever she wants, will ignore laws, will ignore ethics standards and will lie to cover up what she has done.  Expediency and personal gain (usually political) are her only guidelines.  While a person like this can operate as a senator or cabinet member like Secretary of State, such a person should not serve as the President.

I have not voted for a Republican since George HW Bush, but I will not vote for Hillary Clinton.

Regarding OP's question about Biden, he too was my candidate of choice, but he has a very good reason for declining to run.  His adult son just died in May and his family is still grieving.  He is not ready for a hard presidential campaign and his family is not ready to be pushed back into the forefront of the media circus.  Right now, they are the media equivalent of B-listers and they do not want to be pushed back to the A-list.  They also need more time to mourn which they won't have if he was making a presidential run.  I have never lost a child, but I have known friends who have.  And every family is different with how long it takes them to grieve.  But I have never seen a family lose an adult child, especially one that they were close with, who have been able to move past the grief in less than a year.  I know some that 2-3 years later are still having problems coming to grips with the loss of their child.  Six months?  He's not even close to being able to put that behind him.  I'm not even sure that come election day next year that he'd be ready to run for President, let alone actually hold that office.[/quote]

Moderate here too, and I disagree. Hillary has pretty average lack of integrity, nothing "incredible" in my mind for a professional politician.

Now, my problem with her is this. She's 68. Other than aggrandizing her own career, what was she accomplished in all that time? How is the world a better place because of her work in the White House, in the Senate, in State?

Marco Rubio is equally unaccomplished, but at least he's only 44.

You need to check out HRC's record. It's pretty impressive and readily available by Googling Hillary Clinton Accomplishments. Lots of positive accomplishments for the poor, women, children and veterans over the years. She sponsored/drafted a raft of legislation.

When the answer to a question is, "you need to Google that"...you know you are in trouble.

What does this moderate/ independent know about Hillary's leadership abilities:
- She destroyed the prospects for meaningful health reform for at least a generation
- She somehow managed to lose the previous national campaign, when everything was in her favor
- As a result of her time in State, we now have ISIS and Syria. Her only accomplishment there seems to be the Trans-Pacific trade deal...except that now she reneges on it

If I were Putin, I'd vote for her.
