Do Republicans realize that Hillary Clinton has a card to play that no one else does?

Her husband was William Jefferson Clinton, and when people see her, they see Bill. Sorry to disappoint, but the 90's were great times. Even during the bad times Mr. Clinton had a 74% approval rating and Minorities loved him.





My Minority predictions for Mrs Clinton on 11/04/2008:





Latino Americans 58%


African-Americans 94%


Women 55%

Do Republicans realize that Hillary Clinton has a card to play that no one else does?
You are right, and that is why she will be elected president.





74% approval for Bill Clinton to George W. Bush's 24% approval.





That is a slam dunk, because Rudy Giuliani is a huge supporter of George W. Bush, which is going to kill him in the general election.
Reply:Yep, and that would be a slam-dunk victory if the first two groups you mentioned would actually get out and vote in numbers comparable to the Republican base.





But they don't.
Reply:Other than the high approval rating your quote, what exactly did Clinton do that was so great?





Let terrorists have a free hand?


Start a war in Bosnia we're still involved with?


Let genocide sweep through Africa?


Sit back and let a Republican Congress run the economy of America?


Have adulterous trysts in the White House?





What exactly did he do to be considered so great?
Reply:Bill Clinton is not running.





And the perceived "good times" were actually a time of ignoring problems and kicking the can down the road. Ask Calvin Coolidge, whose presidency was about as "substantial" as Clinton's.
Reply:We still have OUR President Bush! The people will rally around him or face GITMO and torture.
Reply:The 90s actually werent that great but the majority of people percieve them to have been and that is what matters. The truth is that much of the 90s economy was fake and fell apart- Dot Coms and a slew of corporate book cooking scandals that came out at the turn of the century prove reality but people dont look at things with evidence but with "well it seemed alright until 2000" never looking at why things fell apart.


Osama attacked throughout the 90s and in the late 90s gave an interview in which he said that the lack of response to those attacks and the hasty withdrawal from Somalia (Clinton and Dole share this one) showed him that not only could he attack at will but could defeat America because its people and leaders lacked the will and resolve to fight.


I am sorry for people who dont like this but both points are facts not opinions and partisanship shouldnt keep us from seeing the truth from time to time.
Reply:A woman who relies on the fact of who she is married to as a major selling point in how strong she will be as a PRESIDENTIAL candidate is NOT sending a positive message to the voters. What if HE dies? After all he just had a cardiac bypass not too long ago? What if they get divorced? Their marriage is notoriously rocky? This is not a feudal society where politics is forged by marrying off your daughter to the local prince.





Sorry...I think you are wrong. If Hillary "uses" her marriage, she will lose.
Reply:Similar to the 1968 election, you had an unpopular war, Vietnam, with an unpopular Democratic President, Lyndon Johnson, which made people yearn for the older, more prosperous times. The Republicans nominated a figure from the past, former Vice President Richard Nixon, a figure of the popular Eisenhower administration because I think a lot of people wanted to go back to those days, figuratively, rather than nominate someone new because they thought Nixon could bring back those times.





Likewise 2008, you have an unpopular war and an unpopular Republican President, George W. Bush, so the Democrats line up behind a figure from the popular Clinton administration, former First Lady Hillary Clinton, because people yearn for those days again and they trust her more than they trust someone new.
Reply:Well, in the women category you have a lot of catching up to do because 73% of them say they won't vote for her right now.


Hispanics and blacks vote democratic because they are more afraid of each other than they are of the evil honky.





Good times?


A fractured intelligence community that even he admits contributed to 9-11.


A military cut by 50% that had to be rebuilt at triple the price.


The DOT com bubble.


Rampant Junk bond trading.


Wag the dog.


Impeachment.


Monica


Paula Jones


Juanita Broaddrick


Somalia.


The rebuilding of Saddam's military


Bosnia (What exit strategy was that? We're still there)


Elian Gonzales


WACO etc. etc. etc. etc.


These were the great times? It that were true, I would shoot myself right now if I were you.
Reply:Ok, and your question is???? You do realize that Hillary has a 50 percent disapproval rating don't you. That means 50 percent say they do not like her and would not vote for her.
Reply:Bill Clinton passed NAFTA, Gave China Favored trade Status, and passed the largest tax increase in history. The Liberals are livid over Free Trade, and yet they blame Bush for it. Careful what you wish (vote) for.
Reply:Bill Clinton can be a very powerful card for Hillary. However there is some downfalls to playing it. Not only is Bill only the second president in history to be impeached, but he left office in a very sleezy way. He pardoned several of his old friends that were wanted or in prison for financial scandles that his wife may have been involved with. Bill could also be her downfall in this campaign.





Here's a question for you: Why would Latinos, African-Americans %26amp; Women vote more for Hillary then Barrack Obama. He is a very good-looking, very charismatic leader that I think would pull in a far greater number of minorities then Hillary. If Obama gets the nomination it will be a much cleaner presidential race then if Hillary gets it. She is way to polarizing and she is not afraid to play dirty, ugly politics.
Reply:She ain't Bill.


Wait till the taxes hit you.
Reply:I'm sure Republicans know all about Slick Willie, after all the times he's stuck it to them in the past. Both sides are obviously going to use Bill to their advantage. But, if those groups you mentioned come out in force to vote, then Hillary should have the advantage.
Reply:Hillary hasn't gotten the gay/lesbian vote. Maybe her "card" is coming out of the closet.
Reply:Are you saying that minorities - especially blacks - and women are voting for someone that isn't even running?


Hillary isn't the faintest shadow of what Bill was. Surely these groups are more intelligent than that.
Reply:They are sadly mistaken if they think Hillary will put up the numbers like Bill did...This is exactly why voters need to educate themselves on the candidate rather than their spouses, whomever they should be! Hillary would be the worse thing this nation has seen in a LONG while.....smart voters will not vote for her regardless of whether they are democrat or republican!
