This is not well-thought out, nor proofread, so don't judge.
Hillary Clinton has now officially formed her exploratory committee and is set to run for President. Upon hearing this, I spent a decent amount of time on her site (www.hillaryclinton.com); I watched the videos and read the blogs and this is what I've come away with so far:
- She wore the same outfit in her first online "conversation" as she did on her appearance on The View a few weeks ago. Nit picky, I know, but c'mon.
- She went on The View! I mean, sure, she's going to get the housewives' votes, but first of all, she's a woman and would've gotten them anyways. All that did is put more focus on the fact that she is indeed a woman, and to be honest, that's a pretty bad campaign approach. The more womanly she looks, the less likely she is to get any guys to vote for her.
- The first question that she is asked in her conversation video, her answer is literally "I don't know." Granted, the question was about whether or not the country is ready for a female president, and that's probably the only truthful answer anyone could give, but seriously, is that how you would want to answer that question, let alone have that be the first question?
I don't know. I don't know much about her political career, but I can't see her doing anything to make me vote for her. We'll see, though.
Sidenote #1: According to her appearance on The View, which is about a month old, and probably not terribly credible to begin with, she leads all other candidates in initial polls by a significant margin. I could easily look into this more and find out for sure, but I just don't feel like it and am much more comfortable with assuming that this information is wrong, than finding actual results and risking discovering that it's true.
Sidenote #2: If she gets elected the progression of presidents will be Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton. Weird.
