Is Hilary Clinton going to run for President!
« on: July 04, 2014, 03:16:37 PM »
She is over here promoting her book.  I just happened to see her on 'this morning' TV.   She is going down a storm here.  The British public love her.  They have been clambering over each other at her book signings here,  and the phone lines to both TV and radio are all very full of praise.  The number one question being is she going to run for President job?  She is almost 'iconic' to women and gays here.

It reminded me (only slightly) of the other iconic first lady who was loved by us Brit's  -  Jackie Kennedy.  I wonder if it has anything to do with both having cheating husbands.   

I have never really looked at Hilary under any scrutiny,  and have to admit i don't really know what to make of her.  Just wondering what opinions others have of her.

She spoke very very well.  When she returns to US she might have a huge ego as she is really mopping up praise here.

Most Brits are confused by your political system and i have never really seen them voice a preference before.  It is a first.

   I've heard speculation for years that she intends to run for the Presidency eventually.
   I've wondered whether she has stayed with Bill all these years partly to benefit from the association.  :apondering:

She answered the question as a true politician.  Vaguely.   :zoinks:   Stating how much she was looking forward to becoming a grandmother (hinting that it would take up most of her time)  but also stating that she has discussed the possibility with 'Bill'  who would give her his full support if she did go for it.

In other words we are none the wiser.  lol

  That's how you do it.  Hedge your bets, keep people guessing.  Appear humble.
   Hint that you might run for office if the people really wanted you to.  Wait for their reactions.  ;)

I suspect she will, but I don't think she's as well loved here. People either seem to like her, or hate her...and the sides are about even.

She may run, but have doubts she would ever win, unless the other candidates totally sucked.

I have always liked her somewhat, and I think she handled everything that was thrown at her so far with a good degree of class and intelligence.

Seriously I think she's already ran the Whitehouse when her husband was president...or at least kept him from making a total ass out of himself on a few occasions...she always struck me as the being the "brains" of the team.

I am somewhat surprised at this.  No wonder she looked so happy here.   :laugh:


Would she get any support just because she would be the first woman?   I felt that was the case with Thatcher,  until they realised what a bitch she was.   :evillaugh:

The British public love her.   
They were all starry eyed over Obama in the beginning too.

Obama is probably still more liked in Europe.

Not sure what to make of Hilary Clinton and her ambitions. I think she'll run, though.

I don't think she will win unless the republicans really fuck it up.

Europe was all starry eyed over Obama because one of his campaign promises was to pull US troops out of the Middle East. The question of Clinton should be, will her party run her. Personally thought they should have run her instead of Obama.

Europeans tend to favour the democrats anyway. The republicans always seem to produce nutters and we're left wondering why anyone in their right mind would vote for the nutter.

We liked Obama more because he seemed less nuts.
