She's going to reverse course on the Keystone XL pipeline if she gets into office (which would be a good thing, I wouldn't mind it).
She is also a "war hawk"...if she gets elected expect a ramp up in troops to Syria and Iraq.
Hillary clearly believes she deserves to be president...why do you think she suffered through all those embarrassing moments with Bill for? No one (unless they had political ambition) would of stayed with a man that serially cheated on them in a public way the way Bill did Hillary. Hillary thinks she deserves to be President Queen of America because she has played the political game, and has in some way earned it.
Never mind the fact that Hillary is secretive like Richard Nixon...I don't fully understand her appeal to Democrats? Is it truly only because she is a woman? Are the Democrats that willing to settle for a candidate with a backwards 1990 political economic/foreign policy mentality...just so they can say they nominated the first woman as a nominee?
They gonna lose with that kind of thinking...but let the sheep run off the cliff.

What on Earth are you on about, though?
She's a progressive, that's not arguable. Look at her voting record and come back. She's not as progressive as Bernie, sure, but then I wouldn't want her to be smoking whatever he's smoking to think he can actually do what he plans to do. His whole stump speech is essentially unaccomplishable idealist crap, or the exact same thing Hillary already supports.
Furthermore, I'm glad she's not an Obama clone because I don't want an Obama clone in office. She's got a longer career in politics and in general, she has notable differences that I like, and I'm happy.
Now getting into how she "believes she deserves" to be "Queen of America," let's all wake up and sniff the roses, because she does. You cannot name another candidate who lived in the White House and was close to all the major decisions for 8 years. You cannot name another candidate who served as both a cabinet member and a Senator. You cannot name another candidate who has her foreign policy experience (and yes, I'm okay with her being the hawk among the Democrats given that she was the one who urged Obama to actually carry out the Osama bin Laden mission). You cannot name another candidate that was, and I'll say it just like she said it, an elected representative for a place that was hit by a massive terrorist attack. Like, the reason there's so much establishment support for her and the reason the whole inevitability card exists is because if she works right, she literally is inevitable. She's essentially the most seasoned politician alive in the US.
She is appealing to Democrats because of everything I have just said and more. She is appealing because we don't give a damn if she's secretive (because it doesn't matter), but she gets the GOP and their panties in a knot every day over how much THEY care if she's "secretive." We are willing to rightfully elect - not settle - a candidate who understands the last time we were without economic debt was the 90's (her husband's term!) and who has more credibility and authority on foreign policy than any other living American as the former Sec of State who visited the most countries and, in my own opinion, worked the hardest.
I am not a sheep, and there is no cliff. Ask me why I support Hillary over the upstart socialist grandpa, the faceless failed former governor of a state that according to him did everything positive ever already, and the clown show that is the other side, and I will gladly give you every single reason in the book.
Thank you!
