Haven't they looted enough of the country for one family? I think she’s an odious person, I believe she things the country owes her the presidency and she’s pretty much a bitch. AND

I like her politics and think she has the experience and background to be an effective president. I’m tired of Bill, would like to see him disappear, but I have to admit the D’s could do worse than Hillary.
