The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Whether or not she would have made a “fantastic POTUS” is simply something we will never know
****

if not burderned by the identity politics stuff -- - she'd have been good in office.

She has seen the Presidency up close which is something that most President DONT have benefit of when they walk in to the Oval.

She has seen what works and what can be shambles vis a vis administration. I believe mistakes are better teachers than success....and the stuff she did in 1993-1995 -- taught her valuable lessons

She was in good with the NeoCons and Goldman Sachs crowd.

She had ok relations with the Senate -- where she wisely didn't step on toes and actually made some relationships. She would've known how to stroke Senators (an Obama weak point)

And all of the above would've helped her put in a SCOTUS or 2 or 3..... and maybe move some health care stuff forward a bit. Sort of build upon what she did with the CHIP program, and what Obama did with ACA.

I hope the he/him, they/them, Right Hand Persons, and hyphenated americanism.....was worth it.

Seems to have worked out for Trump.

Did it work out for America? Was it worth it?
