Former United States Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and the wife of former United States President President William Clinton, is probably going to be running for President in 2016. And you know what? If she runs for President, I think she will probaly win. She will probabaly win for reasons that have nothing to do with her "abilities". And I am someone who does not like Hilary Clinton for a multiple of reasons, but have to deal with the harsh realities of the world we live in today.
Reason #1: She is the wife of former President Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton, who cant seem to stay out of the spot light is still considered a still living popular President. He has even been called the "first black President" that is before President Burak Obama became the President that is.
Reason #2: She is a woman. Sad to say, but the simple fact that she is female will be a huge reason why people will vote for her. Mostly from the female voter population. They will akin this completing their struggles from the Woman's suffrage movement from the early 1900's. She will get the female vote, just like a lot of people voted for Burak Obama because is black. Now, do I think Obama would still have won the 2008 election without that? Yes I do. Heck I voted for the man in that election, but for reasons that turned out to never come to fruition.
The sad fact even though people say they do not vote for someone because of race or gender is somewhat BS. People will vote for people who they "identify" with. I would hope the majority people would identify with what someones beliefs on how they believe the country should go, but as we learned in to 2008 election, that wasn't so.
Now, the only I think way someone from the "Republicans" will win is if they find a candidate that just blows it out of the park on every single issue and shreds everything she says to pieces. Even then, with people voting because she is female and the association with Bill Clinton, it will still be a close election.
