News Hillary Clinton is seeking nomination for president

Not any different than almost all other politicians in the US Congress at the time, surely? Also, deregulation had being going on since before Bill Clinton's presidency and continued after it ended. And the collapse and bailouts didn't occur until late in Bush jr.'s second term. IIRC. Just saying.

It was Clinton who repealed one of the few good policies FDR had. There's no reason to think Hilary will do anything different.

Yes, it's not a comforting thought that she's going to be the presidential candidate for the presumed sane party. I'm scared to think what any of the Republican hopefuls would have said in the same situation.

I read that another Clinton scandal was brewing. The New York Times had a story involving a Russian state-run company getting control over US uranium resources, and donations from investors in said company going to the Clinton Foundation before Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state, approved the company to get control of the uranium.

There have been a few questions over the years about the Clinton foundation taking donations from overseas and then doing political "favors" for the donors. Not sure if all of it is political bs; it is hard to tell with both sides acting like 10-year olds in a playground battle instead of working together on solutions.

Hillary will have lots of mud slung at her, I expect, since she has a long career in the public eye, is female, and the frontrunner for the win at this point.

More concerns about Hillary Clinton as the Dem. candidate in the general election:

She has hired the best and brightest of Democratic staffers. She has purposely downplayed her celebrity and has tried to personally connect with voters in Iowa and New Hampshire. She has focused on telling her personal story rather than trying to constantly answer the "is she tough enough to be commander in chief" question.

And yet, here we are. Clinton is in the midst of a full-scale Democratic freakout due to her faltering poll numbers and ongoing questions about how she has handled her private e-mail server. Joe Biden is considering running. Al Gore's name -- yes, Al Gore -- was even floated!

So a 15-year old Iowa boy is punking the nation. He registered as a presidential candidate under the name Deez Nuts.

And, a recent poll of N Carolina voters:
