The 2016 Presidential Female Candidates

Hillary Rodham Clinton continues to lead in the polls, even though Bernie Sanders is speaking to record crowds.

Over the weekend he attracted over 20,000 to a rally in Boston, which was more than twice the number that turned out in 2008 to listen to then Candidate Barack Obama.

I watched a clip last night of Clinton speaking at a “Town Hall” on the Today show and thought, okay; there is the fiery Clinton I remember from ’08. Welcome back.

Kevin McCarthy gave her a gift by developing diarrhea of the mouth with his Benghazi remarks. He presented her with opportunity to come out swinging and she has. 

Not only on the hearings but also with a strong statement on our deadlocked gun debate.  She would push for the repeal of the gun show loophole, under which private gun sellers do not need to perform background checks on buyers, push to revoke the licenses of dealers who make straw sales and, the biggest part, push to repeal the NRA backed law that prevents crime victims from suing gun manufacturers. That law alone tells us whom our elected Congress represents.  (The fact that the 3 day waiting period is not set in stone also needs to be fixed.)

I have not been impressed me by her until the SNL skit and then her performance on the Today show.  I felt she was resting on her laurels (Dems cannot afford laurel resting, there is too much at stake).

Based on the response to Senator Sanders, it would seem that there is concern across the liberal electorate.

The big concern for her at this time is the huge dip her numbers have taken in the polls among Black women.

Congress and the White House in the hands of the Republican Party which is now run by the Tea Party would be a disaster, not only for us living in America, but for the rest of the world.  There is a saying, when the US gets a cold the rest of the world gets pneumonia.  Double pneumonia would be the result of that.

Carly Fiorina – I heard a reporter who covered her during her run for the Senate say that she is a better candidate now that she was then.

If that is so, she must have been awful. It seems she has a never-ending list of  ‘reallys?”  Did she say/do that? And the answer keeps coming up yes.

Candidates love to stiff their vendors if they lose, but when they are back in the public eye and are asked about it, most show some remorse. She does not. She exhibits a “whatever” attitude that is to me, heartless.

And her ability to tell a lie (the Planned Parenthood fetus video) and then stick with it, refusing to say, I exaggerated to make a point or whatever excuse works for her, I find disheartening in a candidate for President.

And of course, there is her record as CEO of Hewlett Packard. Her story is not the truth, she ran that corporation into the ground. Over 30,000 employees lost their jobs and the HP’s stock took a beating.  All under her watch, but none of that is her fault, and the stock rebounding after a very bad merger with Compaq is her doing. HP fired her, she almost destroyed that company and now she wants the chance to destroy America. 

I, fortunately, can state without any doubts, she will not get the chance.
