Hillary is a rich old lady.
That she cares anything but other than her comfort, her fame, etc.
She has no idea of today's trials and tribulations.

Well I don't know about all that.
All I remember is when the Clinton's were in power things were pretty damn good for the average joe.
And I was checking my 401K a few days ago and a bit shocked how it had gained.
Had gained some 20K in just the last 6 months.
Then I had this dreadful feeling, what would happen under another Bush, or under a Trump, or god forbid a Christie or Scott Walker?
Looking beyond all the fun and games of politics i.e. Trump, or any of the other republicans in the mix, I'd say the true sound solid conservative thing to do would be with keeping a democrat in the presidency.
And going from past experience, proven worthiness, I'd say Hillary would be a very sound solid conservative decision.
Sure, its a hell of a lot of fun watching Donald do his thing on TV as a presidential candidate, or watch Christie get all red faced and testy, or Jeb deciding if the Iraq war was a good thing or a bad thing?
Sure, all that fun and games delivers some rather entertaining TV indeed.
But in the end, speaking seriously now, it all boils down to YOU and your finances.
Boils down to your security.
Boils down to a return of pain and suffering, or continued good times.
And since most modern day retirement plans rely on that investment and that 401K plan, history proves that it doesn't take much to bring that all crashing down.
All it takes is one bad president, followed by poor decisions, and there you are.
There you are wondering what the hell did you do with your vote, why did you do it, and how soon till I can vote this sucker out of office?
If I were gambling and relying on past performance, it would be Hillary hands down.
Fun is fun, games are games, and entertainment is entertaining, but is it wise to bet the farm on that big mouth funny guy with the fancy tie?
Or bet the farm on one of the many other long shots?
Obviously anyone, anyone at all can run for president.
But... who is actually qualified to be the president?
And who would you trust with your 401K?
