Hilary Clinton

Every time I even hear Hilary Clinton speech, I tune her out. For some reason I just don’t like her as a candidate. This is strange because I thought Bill Clinton was a good president, but other people and I have to remember she’s not Bill Clinton. I’ve tune her out so much I really haven’t heard her recent speeches or political views, and so I’m pretty much in the in the dark on where she stands. I know that like Obama she is really focused on our schools; not only is she would want to make improvements with K-12, but make college more affordable as well. As a college student that means a lot to me, because without my scholarship I wouldn’t be able to afford college. Hilary is also focused on women’s rights; for example women only make seventy-seven cents to every dollar they earn. That is also really important to me because I understand that women have progressed over the years but at times are still treated poorly., Still for some reason, I still just don’t like Hilary. Not to mention I think her chances of getting into office are very slim, because all the sexist men will not vote for her. Even men that aren’t sexist, I doubt they will vote for her. Isn’t it strange that we call all the other candidates by their last name, except Hilary? I guess by calling her by her first name we don’t confuse her for her husband.
