In praise of Hillary Clinton

Ideals are all very well but if you want to achieve something in politics, you have to compromise a lot.

I think the crop is so poor, because it costs so so much to run a campaign. Most have to rely on dubious sources of revenue to be able to continue such a long time with it all.

I think you've hit on the main message of the article, ww: she's a plodder, someone who gets on with a job in difficult circumstances, rather than someone who would 'set the world on fire'. They've just had one of those: Obama. And he hasn't, really, has he? That's not a criticism of him. It's an acceptance of reality on the political stage.

Sorry, I didnt notice the word praise.

I think she will possibly go to jail for her use of non-safe emails about state secrets.

In the face of Trump (or Cruz) I think she is America's only hope. She will be tough and uncompromising and she does have experience at an international level.
I find it incredible however that the most powerful country in the free world can produce such a paucity of would be Presidential candidates.

I'm always impressed by her speeches. I reckon she's America's best hope.

Clinton will probably get the nomination, but I can't say she has exactly set the world on fire in her previous political posts.
