To all democrats planning on voting for Hillary Clinton in your state primary. You may want to consider a few things. Most republicans, like democrats want many of the same things. #1 is Affordable health care.

In other words, everyone, including republicans want change, especially on the domestic front. Hillary Clinton, with her constant bashing of the republican party & the present administration, insults 1/2 of this nation every time she is in front of a micro-phone. Her approval numbers overall, in this nation are less than 50%. That's not good.

Her often times hateful statements regarding republicans is off the charts. Whenever asked a question about her own policies, she will answer in a manner that is hateful & or insulting against republicans & the current administration. If nominated by the democrat party, she will only continue in her vicious attacks toward the opposite of the isle. Therefore, alienating & degrading any support for any of her policies. I believe this anger towards republicans, in general, is over their attacks on President Bill Clinton, regarding problems he brought upon himself.

My question for Hillary Clinton supporters. Do you actually believe that Hillary Clinton will be able to work with republicans, to solve the issues that confront this country?

I can guarantee you NO. If Hillary Clinton is elected we will have at least 4 years of nothing more than stale-mate & a media blitz of continual finger pointing. Nothing will get done on health care, social security & other matters so important to Americans.

THINK BEFORE YOU CAST THAT VOTE!

I, personally, don't support Clinton, but at the same time, if she was elected, then I don't think there would be a stale-mate. After all, isn't the majority of Congress now Democrat?

I hate to say this, but will she need much Republican approval to work on her agenda?

You guys are heartless -

if she isn't voted in a President,

you're going to make her cry again!

She'll leave the USA? Run away to Canada, France, China..... ?

To bring a new policy or bill up for vote, one needs a 2/3rd's approval in the house of representatives. If 1/3 of the house if against it, any policy goes into file 13. (the trash can). Unfortunately, our government requires more than 50% for approval on any bill. If approved in the house of representatives, the vice-President can cast the determining single vote, if tied, in the senate, after approval by the house. If the senate brings a new bill to the floor & approves it, it still has to go through the house of representatives for approval, before being signed into law by the President. The President then, has the authority to veto the bill. However, the President can be overruled by the senate & the house with another 2/3'rds majority vote in both the house & senate.

"The line item veto--where a President can line out certain expenditures or special interest, against a certain bill, yet have the intended bill pass is still pending. Line item veto for any President is a must!! " Bill Clinton had the line item veto, thanks to George Bush 1 insisting upon a line item veto. But, G. W. Bush 2 cannot do a line item veto because the U.S. Supreme court stated it was against the constitution. As of today, both the house & senate have yet to give the President--authority to do a line item veto.

And we wonder, why our deficit is through the roof?
