I don’t know her policies. I’d have to hear how she would run the country.

It would, obviously, depend on who was running against her.

She wouldn’t be my first choice, mainly due to inexperience. She has a law degree since 1988, but hasn’t worked in the legal field since 1993. She is a good First Lady, and a good mascot for the country. She says good things about the right subjects and doesn’t project much negativity at all (no matter how much crap people sling at her), but that’s really not what I think of when I think of a president.

No. She has no experience and there are rumors that she doesn’t even enjoy being first lady.

I think it would be a good idea to listen to what she has in mind first.

For 2016?
Probably. She can’t be much scarier than the choices we have now.

NerdyKeith's avatar

Maybe not for 2016. For 2020 maybe.

Ye, she is one smart cookie, knows all the issues having been around for the last eight years. And, she can talk circles around most people in Washington.

I’d certainly consider her if I knew whom she was running against and her policies were. Why not? From everything I’ve read about her I believe she’s one smart lady.

I would definitely consider her. It would depend on the policies that she laid out.

I don’t think smarts are all that is needed to be a politician. Knowing how to get things done through the political process is important and as anybody knows, politics is a lot of give and take. Does she have those skills? Maybe, maybe not. So my answer is “probably not but maybe.”

She probably has more political experience than Barak did when he became president, but if she’s not in for 2016, all my bets are off.

The eternal optimist, I keep hoping we’ll have an opportunity to elect an American president the majority of Americans respect, if not like in my lifetime.

Y’all better forgo that lottery and double my life span!

Probably not. I would listen to her ideas and policies before deciding, but lack of experience and having disagreed with a few things her husband did I’m starting from a probably not place. She might not agree with her husband on everything though, so I would be sure to find out rather than assume.

Against either Cruz or Trump I would reach for Michelle like a crack addict grabbing a rock.

Thinking of Hillary, I’m smacking my lips like a wino looking at a bottle of Mogen David, @stanleybmanly

So she can tell me what to eat even more?

kritiper's avatar

Yes, if she was the Democratic nominee.

Brian1946's avatar

If her policies are similar to her hubby’s, then I’d vote for Sanders or Warren in the 2020 primary instead.

If she was the eventual Democratic nominee, I’d vote for her.

Where IS Nerdy Keith these days?

Apparently he’s spending most of his online time @Twitter and Facebook.
