If you would prefer another candidate to Hillary Clinton - is it electoral or policy related?

Not the most precise title. If you think that Hillary Clinton isn't the best candidate we could put up, are you reasons related to her chances of being elected? or are they more related to what kind of President she would be if elected?

That's a great point. Even if you support Clinton there's good reasons to have a contested primary. el_bryanto Nov 2014 #4

Mainly policy, but I don't think her electoral chances are nearly what her fans think they are. Marr Nov 2014 #5

I believe she'd be great on social policy, a 1% tool on economic/financial policy. nt Zorra Nov 2014 #6

But, I would like to see others in the primary process rather than have it be a coronation.
