We are rapidly moving toward Obama's main goal as president!!!  Make sure that the USA is no more relevant, prosperous, or powerful than a 3rd world country when he leaves office.  He is succeeding in that goal fantastically!!!

Yes it will...she is just as unqualified as Obama, sadly that doesn't matter to many.

Ideology trumps good results.
