Something is missing...

Hillary Clinton likes to take populous stands – she did so as First Lady, as a Senator from New York and as Secretary of State.  However, taking popular stands and actually fighting for them, or heck even voting for them are different things.  I wonder if she requests for a bullet-proof limousine equipped with crudites and fancy water to take her from one populous stand to another.

People have made jokes about not being able to name one accomplishment which should not come as a surprise because there are none.  Some people said she was restricted because she knew she would run for President and did not want to have a ‘gotcha’ moment.   In other words, a person who desires to run the greatest and freest country in the world is afraid someone may second guess a vote she made.  Hardly seems to be a person of conviction.

Let me tackle of few other ‘excuses’ – she is an extremely private person and people do not know her.  She has been in the public light for two dozen years, written books and made a ton of speeches (many of which she was compensated at 25,000 times the people who actually worked at the place) – people do know her, and there is just nothing there.

Others say that she was only the junior Senator from New York and had a world that resented America to deal with as Secretary of State.  There are plenty of junior Senators who have done enough that people recognize who they are.  Heck, there are three of them running on the Republican ticket – Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rand Paul and Senator Ted Cruz.  All three have done things that have made them well known, beyond their last name.

As for the world, if everybody did indeed hate America, which the lack of countries leaving military alliances in 2008 or ending economic/trade with the US in 2008 would say that other countries truly did not hate America, Hillary Clinton would have had an easy time improving those relationships.  Were there any peace summits that students will read about in their text books?  No.  Any international dispute that she successfully mediated or negotiated?  No.  Wait, there was that one thing that happened – the death of four Americans in an embassy in a city that all other countries had vacated at least a week ahead of time and that US soldiers could not get to ‘in-time’, despite not knowing when or if the attacks would occur.

Those that support Hillary Clinton want there to be something of grasp to show more than an idea of hope or a populist message.  The problem is that they just don’t exist, and if they did, they are on a hidden and illegal email server at her multi-million dollar Westchester mansion.
