Did you always think that Hillary was the best candidate for president in this term.

I thought Hillary was the right candidate in 2008.
My respect for Barack Obama's intelligence and character has grown. If he was following Hillary
now instead of the other way about, he would have been better off.
It takes more than intelligence and principle to earn distinction.
What it takes can be learned but can't be taught.
Lyndon Johnstone is considered most effective.
In 2008 , Hillary had already served as a Senator and made a practice of "working across the aisle"
to move things forward.
As First Lady, she probably learned at least as much as the President while they occupied the
White House.
She was an excellent presidential candidate. When she conceded, her deportmant was without peer.
The moment Barack Obama took the Oath of Office was intensely moving.
But he did not have what he needed. It was not his time.
The enemy that was the Tea Party was already within and strident .
The outcome might have been the same with Hillary . But she had skills and life experience
Obama did not.
Intelligence and integrity are not the whole ball of wax.
They say it helps for a policeman to have a little larceny in his soul...a deeper humanity.
It's not gender specific but may be closer to maternal than male instinct.
Like a Warrior Queen in defense of her children.
It's easy to empathize with a person of high moral character.
Inadequate personalities are almost certainly likely to blame others for personal failure.
They are hard to excuse and harder to like but in politics everyone counts.
So yes ....I believe Hillary is the right candidate in 2016 and was even more right in 2008.
A victory for Hillary will be the great equalizer.
