As a lifelong Democrat who voted for Mondale, Dukakis, Bill Clinton (twice), Gore, Kerry and Obama (twice), I have to say that I do not understand this premature coronation of Hillary Clinton, who is a fundamentally flawed candidate from an ethical standpoint – she must have had a record amount of financial and professional scandals in her career - Whitewater, cattle futures - shredding the files of the Rose Law Firm (obstruction of justice), Travel Gate (unjustified firing of all the White House travel employees), Brother Hugh serving as a middle man and making a profit from the obscene practice of selling presidential pardons in the final days of the Clinton White House, fibbing that she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary, when he did not climb Mt. Everest and become famous until she was actually 6, fibbing that she came under “fire” landing in Bosnia while First Lady, getting huge compensation for serving on the board of directors of Walmart, resorting to all kinds of dirty tricks against then Senator Obama during the primaries in 2008 (such as spreading rumors that he was secretly a Muslim or a drug user) was well as taking “a win at any cost attitude”. I am sure that the Democratic Party in 2016 can find a much better candidate. And for those of us who are Iowans, Hillary has very poor record on ethanol and no experience with farm policy. I would take Joe Biden in a second as the 2016 standard bearer over either of the Clintons.
