In reply to the discussion: Why Hillary cannot and should not win in 2016 [View all]liberal_at_heart
(12,081 posts)It is the old guard of the republican party that the Tea Party says it is fighting against. Old guard isn't necessarily a bad thing and new guard isn't necessarily a good thing. I like Hillary. The only thing I don't really like about her is the fact that she has taken a lot of lobbyist money in the past. I want someone who will take on lobbying. But she has done some really good work on special education in the past and education is very quickly becoming a single issue vote for me. I will be watching very closely to how the democrats address education in the next four years. So far they all seem to be going with the flow of charters and as far as funding education the status quo seems to be adequate for most democratic politicians. And I love, love, love the fact that she and Bill pioneered the UNIVERSAL healthcare fight. There is a lot I really like about Hillary, but I will not make up my mind until we get closer to 2016 and we start to see what the field will look like then.
