I think Hillary could lead us in the right direction, but I really hope to God she knows what her actions are with this war and know the consequences. I'm really not into politics, so I don't know anything about this topic, but this debate has been very interesting to me and sparked curiosity.

This statement. When all the people who have been president have been men, and also took us to war. Unsubstantiated...

You know Hillary will be on a PR trip in Russia in 2017 where she dances with the locals and enjoys their cuisine. The woman knows how to mitigate a mess.
She's solely responsible for the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel. Russia won't get the puppet they were hoping for but they'll get used to it eventually.

Come on now. No one is solely responsible for anyhing. Especially not something as huge as a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.

What is this supposed to mean? I have a friend who's said something similar and it doesn't really make any sense

The best thing I've read all week is shockingly from .........Steve Schmidt:
There are two things that are going on that are just extraordinary right now. We've had an uninterrupted peaceful transition of power since 1789 in this country, where one, we have all understood that sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but the loser grants legitimacy;
and secondly, we have a foreign power, a strategic adversary of the United States, trying to affect the outcome of this election with cyber-attacks, cyber-warfare against one of the most important institutions in this country, which is the Democratic Party, and Republicans are cheerleading it on. If Ronald Reagan were here, I guarantee you, Ronald Reagan would not be supportive of Russian attacks on the infrastructure of one of the most important political institutions in the country. [Steve Schmidt, MSNBC]

It means they don't trust women whether they care to admit it or not, especially in charge.

She's the one who traveled there and negotiated it. If not for her, it wouldn't have happened. Don't take solely too literally, of course the other parties had to come to the agreement.

Even the article you quoted says:
Quote:
The agreement, brokered by Clinton and top Egyptian officials, called for an end to the Hamas rocket attacks and expressed hope for a “broader calm.”

How do you know it wouldn't have happened without her or the US for that matter? There's no need to take all the credit for everything all the damn time. No (wo)man's an island.

thats good! 
and yes women can be just as diabolical as a man. if any of the candidates were likely to get us into a massive war with russia or into a world war it would be hillary. if putin ignores the no fly zone then we could be in a nuclear conflict. hillary is the popular choice but is still potentially the most dangerous candidate since i dont think trump know anything about foreign policy and would need to defer to someone who knows something about it. not sure who that would be though.
trump would be a figurehead and not really in control but hillary would be hands on and possibly overplay her hand and it would end in catastrophe
