I'm sure a lot of the Secret Service would not like to work for her again; she was known as one of the most abusive occupants of the White House, and treated all the staff pretty badly...

Listen, Flame away, but if she becomes president, I'm running and far. I will go to another country same week, pack up and just leave. Her comment about hurt and her husband being some of the poorest in the country made my brain implode... stupidity does not belong in office and its worn its welcome over the long years. This has nothing to do with what ever gender, it has to do with her serious lack of wisdom, I will never let such a person be in charge of my rights, No way in hell.

I'm all for seeing a woman become POTUS, just not this one. Her lack of concrete results and the Benghazi issue are going to be major hurdles for her, and I don't see her having the intellect or the charisma to overcome them. Only corruption and brutality will get her past those hurdles, and the US doesn't want a tyrant in charge. She might have a lot of experience, but she clearly knows nothing about her fellow Americans; a fatal flaw possessed by too many politicians these days. If she cannot connect with the people and deliver on her promises to them, she's going nowhere.

You KNOW a country is in BAD, BAD shape when one of the TOP THREE reasons to elect somebody is because they are: (black.. a woman... Muslim... gay... transgendered... whatever...)

And I'd say her being BROKE leaving the white house is a reason to NOT elect her. If you can't make money as the pres or the pres's wife, then you certainly don't know squat about running an economy...

The United Dysfunctional States of America. Makes me sad that we no longer have any free press and that these so called elections is just Kabuki. The Presidency is becoming some bizarre Dynasty TV show.

If Jeb Bush runs, he'll win no matter who the Democrats field. I say this as an independent who doesn't watch FOX News. The Republicans have no one else of his stature, experience and common sense. He just needs to find a way to paint over his brother's flawed legacy for the duration of the 2016 campaign.

The idea of three Republican presidents in a row from the same oil-drenched family should set alarm bells ringing, as should a geriatric husband and wife team. In a country of over 300 million, there should be other talent on offer.

But it's ok to have another Clinton in the WH, NO...seriously?? Or another Democrat? Obviously, they can't govern properly if Republicans are so called war mongers, then Democrats are economy and homeland destroyers. There has got to be a better way.

hee hee - talent has nothing to do with it. Being president is all to do with how much billion$ govt contracts you can assign to your business associates, how many tax breaks or beneficial laws you can create for your lobbyist buddies, and ultimately play the part that the banking cartels assign.

I prefer one of the JT poster become the president rather than imperialist, arrogant and crook Junior member of Bush dynasty and incompetent, demented and inconsistent Mrs Clinton. I guess America has no more talent except that two families.

Bass, who do you think I was referring to? Does that sound like I'm advocating Hilary Clinton? Please read mails properly before throwing out a typically half-baked, meaningless rant.

@jim

On this one, I will have to apologize. I was in a rush reading and hastily hit the send button. Sorry dude, my bad. I do think there are a lot more potential talent out there from either sides than the two families.
