    I would love to know what all the supposedly progressive Hilary Clinton supporters all over social media etc. actually like about her politics.

    I see she has said "the system is stacked towards those at the top".

    Yes, especially if your name is Bush or Clinton.

    I want her to be the President. The only Republican candidate who could beat her is Jeb Bush.

    She would have beaten McCain or Romney.

    Clinton Vs Bush.

    Can these really be the best candidates?

    It's interesting then, that she's regarded as Wall Street's choice for president. I wonder who will be funding her campaign.

    As usual with the US, their presidential elections are just a case of hoping that the least worst wins. That's Hillary, but that's also not saying very much.

    She'll be president.

    None of the Republican crackpots have a chance in hell against her, and thank goodness for that.

    Frightening isn't it that in the world's most advanced and powerful country, that the position of President is again a choice between two families. There has been a Bush or Clinton involved in every Presidential election since 1980.

    Anything to keep the Republicans out, but one ism will have to replace another ism for many of the bearded variety.

    Hillary is an outstanding candidate for President, with an unprecedented career, as First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State. Jeb Bush is the most intelligent of the Bushes.

    I'm still yet to hear of a single policy or principle that she's ever held.

    And being the most intelligent of the Bushes is no prize. I'm sure that there's some actual shrubbery that would be the intellectual match of Dubya.

    That's possibly true but I just wonder if 2016 might be too late for her. Maybe she should have won in 2008 leaving a more experienced Obama to replace her next year.

    Yes, age 67 with a brutal schedule of campaigning ahead, maybe a few health issues. Think her time is up.
    I am more fascinated by the fact that her campaign think 2.5 billion is a reasonable war chest for her run, bonkers :o

    .

    I thought Rand Paul was popular over there? Is he not capable of getting the Presidency? Though I'm not the biggest brain on US politics so perhaps you or someone can correct me if wrong.

    As far as I can see, US politics is more about access to the people with money than ability. So family connections matter. Getting introduced to the right people and using family to influence those that matter within the party.

    I'm sure Clinton and Bush are not the best two candidates, but with massive financial and political backing, they'd have to do something badly wrong to not be the only two options put before the people.

    Too old. Too stale. Too many skeletons. Too much bad association.

    She won't win.

    Good luck to her. On the other side, I rather hope it's Jeb Bush, he seems the most reasonable of the Republican candidates. Which is pretty alarming in itself.

    Jeb Bush could give her a run for her money if he gets the republican nomination. It may also be the time in the political cycle for America to go back to Republicanism

    As long as it's not a Tea Party lunatic who gets in! That would be a disaster!

    Can someone explain to me why Americans would elect another Bush? Is Jeb somewhat more sane and normal or something?

    i don't think age matters. She's younger than Reagan was when he became president.

    He is more sane and not nearly as stupid as Dubya.

    As is 99% of the US population. So why another Bush?

    Ronnie was a bit of a one-off.

    I appreciate age is not the concern it is in the UK (much to VInce Cable's frustration), but there are quite a few health scare rumours about Hilary and she just not seem to have the spirit she used to.
