83. I like her a good bit and have no doubt

she would have been a very good president.

But, the Bill, BHO and Joe were pretty darn good presidents and the right wing tore them apart and the media sane washed / both sides their bullshit.

They were men and 2 of the 3 were white.

I said when she ran, and again, I liked her a good bit, she had two strikes, don't need to note what they were.

People always find a way to say it is something else, like Gaza, but this country is simply that over burdened by cracker ass morons and simple minded "independents" who find a way both sides themselves into whatever bullshit the cracker ass morons scream about side the ledger.

People forget, Kamala had a decent lead when she first got the nod, but with time and all the bullshit the right threw at her, the idiots in the middle flaked off.

Hill similarly would have been a great president, but you gotta get there to be able to be that.
