Clinton catastrophe

Next November, I know for sure that I won’t be voting for Hillary Clinton for President.

Yes, I know that she’d be the United State’s first woman President. Yes, she was the Secretary of State and the Senator for New York. And, of course, she was the first lady while her husband was in office.

Obviously, she’s more than qualified to be President of the United States.

However, I don’t think Hillary Clinton is the right fit for the oval office.

And no, it’s nothing to do with the fact that she’s a woman scorned after the whole “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” fiasco with her husband.

For starters, there’s a lot of questions and horrifying facts that have come to light about the Benghazi attack, in which American consulate members were killed and Hillary has accepted responsibility for.

But some huge misjudgment aside, I just don’t think she’s what this country needs.

Personally, I don’t want someone as President who’s living in the past.

Sure, experience is everything, but this country needs new, innovative ideas to pull it out of debt, a high unemployment rate, etc.

Right now, I don’t know who that’ll be, but I know for sure it’s not Hillary Clinton.
