20. Hillary will not win as pres
I agree with many here that she can not win as a presidential candidate. The closest she can get is VP. She will be swift boated with any run but the right is worried that swift boating a girl will backfire on them and make them look like bullies. If she pick the VP spot, she kind of tells everyone that she knows her place and will get more respect and votes for it. The right want to paint her as anything bad (power hungry, angry, moody, bossy, bitchy) By taking the VP spot, it takes lots of those arguments away and makes her harder to attack. Also, the VP spot can be as powerful or more powerful than the pres as shown by the republicans design of the WH. The key is to get an electable figure as pres who can answer the questions and have the likability to be elected. I do think the American people are tired of having a puppet as a president and want someone with more substance. The question is who. If she is VP, she can lend lots of her money raising power to the ticket.
