“She brings to the table extensive political and policy experience, a combination of skills that is often lacking.”

And since personal character doesn’t mean diddly in the Dim Party, she’s considered a great candidate!

Can Clinton overcome her weaknesses? The better question is will the American people elect a truth challenged, alcoholic lesbian as their President?

It's a funny thing --

Our top politicians do not tend to be statesmen (skillfully leading our country and the world into a better future).
Our top politicians do not tend to be skilled politicians (uniting opposing political forces and forging common agreements on divisive issues).
Our top politicians do not tend to be charismatic and smooth (Dole? Gore? Hillary? Mitt?).

What does it take to become a top politician in the USA during this time in history?

Nothing good, I can tell you that.

Is the author talking about her weakness for alcohol? foreign buy-offs? Huma?

Maybe something else?

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I don’t think people like her, sorta like the way it was with Gore. What’s to like?

But our Presidents do (Reagan, Clinton, Obama).

I think few people want to ask this question: Can Hillary Clinton be a decent President even though she will celebrate her 69th birthday less than month before Election Day 2016? They'll ask this question a LOT given that Ted Cruz, Rand Paul and Scott Walker--the more likely Republican opponents--will be 15-20 years younger than her.

Reagan: yes -- but that was 35 years ago.
Clinton: okay -- still: 23 years ago.
Obama: His charisma consists of the media saying; "He has charisma". That's it.

She has dirt on everyone from Obama to the Pope. Like those infamous FBI files?

I don't recall anything coming of that.

Whatever weakness HRC may have, the American people will more than bail her out. They’ve already endorsed her; so no need for a campaign in 2016.

I hope not, and I pray to God she fails big time.

I would say my “Buick-Chrysler Cordoba” principal falls into place.

A Buick is always a somewhat dependable car with a decent appearance, and appreciated by a large segment of society. You generally know when you are in the presence of a Buick. There’s a decent ride and things tend to work.

With the Chrysler Cordoba, there’s some image of style and luxury, but as you step into it....there’s faults. The smooth ride is bumpy. Things ought to work but you keep seeing issues which worry you about dependability. You step into it at midnight in the worst possible neighborhood, and it stalls.

Bill Clinton and Barack Obama could bring the image of the Buick across to the public, with the help of the news media. Hillary, with all the help that they might provide....can only establish herself as the Cordoba character.

A no-name senator from Illinois was able to sell his image in Iowa and easily beat the machine that Hillary had an entire year in Iowa with significant funds. Whatever problem she had in 2008....is still there and it’s the Cordoba image which people just won’t buy into.
