Does anyone here actually support Hillary Clinton? Why?

Just trying to gauge if there is any use to the repubs on the board spamming about her, they seem to be the only ones who ever mention her here. Just more reason I think she would make a good republican, they're the only ones who take her seriously.

She just seems too much part of the status quo. She doesn't seem to ever take a stand on anything controversial, and her opinions seem to change with the polls. She is sort of like the democrat version of Mitt Romney. I don't think she would be a bad president, but I doubt anything major would change with her in power. I bet she gets the nomination though, it seems like she has the backing of the media and a lot of financial support.

Good comparison, she does remind me somewhat of Rmoney. He said some pretty stupid things to alienate the working class which she has never done, but she does sort of remind me of him anyway.

I really don't mean policy wise, but more image wise. Bland and unoffensive and both come across as highly manufactured. Romney was a lot more out of touch with the common person though, and having Bill around should help her somewhat. Although he may hurt her in some people's eyes.

I think she is likely just as out of touch. She is certainly neoliberal and I think she just hasn't been so careless as to say anything he would have said to alienate working class because she knows no democrat can win with out them. Also, Rmoney had to say dumb shit, that's how you get repubs behind your campaign.

Ginsburg is likely going to retire this next term, and if Clinton wins a re-election we're probably looking at Kennedy and Scalia retiring too, probably Breyer as well, 4 out of 9 judges, 3 of whom sway liberal, 1 sways conservative. Clinton is as establishment democrat as they come so my hopes are set pretty low.. Like I said before though, any picks she makes will be a million times better than what a republican president would pick..
