Hillary Clinton: pro's and con's

"In another up-and-down, anything-can-happen primary season, Hillary Clinton has shown herself to be a strong candidate—and a much happier one. Will she finally, at long last, make history?" 

The 2016 presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton has served as secretary of state, senator from New York, first lady of the United States, first lady of Arkansas, a practicing lawyer and law professor, activist, and volunteer. As first lady, Hillary tenaciously led the fight to reform the American health care systems and avidly spoke for women’s rights. Shortly after winning the U.S. presidential election, Obama nominated Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. She accepted the nomination and was officially approved as the 67th U.S. secretary of state by the Senate on January 21, 2009. Also a best-selling author, Clinton’s memoir Hard Choices where Clinton shares the difficult decision made during her reign as secretary of state.

Today, she is the front runner as the democratic candidate with 1446 delegates and 502 superdelegates, followed by her major opponent, Bernie Sanders, with only 1200 delegates.

Hillary Clinton, pro's and con's of a future (potential) president:

The Pro's:

- She knows how Washington DC works because she has served as Secretary of State in the Obama administration,

- She would be the first woman president (I am not a real fan of the argument but many American citizens seem excited about the perspective of having the first American woman president after the first American black president)

- great knowledge and experience

- served as first lady in the USA during her husband's presidency

- she has a lot of endorsements (U2, Beyonce, Barack Obama )Hillary Clinton's list of endorsements

The Con's:

- Age: If Mrs. Clinton wins the polls, she will be the eldest woman head of state

- Unsolved scandals such as the email scandals (Clinton Email Scandal ) and the specter of other scandals (such as her financing packages, her Wall Street banks endorsements (Goldman Sachs paid her $220K for a speech lately))

- she has trust issues within the democratic party ( seen as too sharp, too fake)

- inconsistent in many political areas

- seen as "too liberal"
