Is There More Good Than Bad With Hillary Clinton?

If you have a dog in the fight, there is an inherent danger in counting your political chickens before they come home to roost (or hatch).  It is easy to anoint Hillary Clinton as our likely next president for more reason's than our love of Hillary Clinton. In fact, the reason's for Hillary may have nothing to do with Hillary at all.

First and foremost, Hillary Clinton is looking more an more like the beneficiary of republican division.  The challenge that exists between internal factions of the conservative movement will need a quick and definitive resolution.  Quick because 2014 and 2016 have already begun.  Definitive because the war will not end until someone defines the conservative agenda.  Ask Bill Clinton.  It is easy to declare the end of the era of big government, but impossible to agree on what should go away first.

As republicans try to recapture a national government equal to the beginning of the industrial revolution, the realist are hoping to do a little less killing abroad and reduce our deficit over the next several years by simply stopping the bleeding.  Meanwhile, Hillary will benefit from the "all president for all people" image that her husband Bill currently enjoys.  History informs us of both the left leaning failed proposals of the Clinton years and the actual center shifted legislation's like NAFTA that make conservatives love Bill as much as liberals do.

If we did not have enough intangible reason's for a president Hillary Clinton, here is one more to try on for size.  Sexism is harder to disguise than racism. If Hillary confronts the same unexplained obstructionism that Obama couldn't figure out, then the obstructionist' may no longer be able to hide behind a made up war against liberalism, fascism, communism and narcissism.

When bills that have the requisite number of votes are held up in congress in order to stonewall a man's legacy, then it might be time for a woman. Hillary can finish immigration for Obama like he did with healthcare for her.

Apparently the bad part is her husband.....the predator.
