The Atlas Hillary obsession

[Xing]

I've never been enthralled by Hillary. I like her well enough, but she's not my ideal candidate, as evidenced by the fact that I supported Bernie in the primaries. She does strike me as someone who is very careful and calculated. While that can be a good thing at times, it does make it seem as though shes reluctant to take many bold positions, which often needs to be done to make progress. That's the biggest reason why she's seen as the "status quo" candidate, and while I don't think that label is entirely fair, I do have my doubts that a Hillary Clinton presidency would bring about large-scale change (especially with a Republican congress.)

I do recognize, however, that she is currently the only qualified candidate in the race, and that the stakes are incredibly high. If she were running against a more generic Republican, I would probably still support her, since I do agree with her on most issues, but I would probably not do so enthusiastically. Since she's running against a truly vile man who is completely unfit to be president, however, I am supporting her with a great sense of urgency. I think Hillary will be a perfectly competent president, but I'm not sure whether or not she'll be a great president.
