Yep some pretty bad choice on the right side of the aisle. Clinton for all her flaws and Sanders in the end I think would actually be pretty good presidents. I don't see that on the other side of the aisle.

Is she a person with her own opinions and abilities to make tough decisions, or is she going to be propped up and be a mouth piece for Bill.
To me, and maybe its just me, she looks like someone who can't do it herself.
Maybe its a bizarre double standard, because I can't think of any other country except for countries with dynastic succession that has had a husband and wife team of candidates.

It's natural. Bill has been president. It's really, really, really different than when a "normal" spouse campaigns. And spouses do campaign all the time. But I don't think that should reflect poorly on Clinton. In fact I think it should be a positive. If there is ANYONE in this world that knows what it's like to be president without actually being president it is Clinton. Not just because she was first lady but because she has also led her own very high level political life.
Of all the candidates there should be no question who has the most relevant experience and ability to handle the job (ignoring platforms of course).
That said out of all the candidates I'd vote Sanders right now as I think he has a nice vision (and a vision that by necessity will be tempered and moved closer to the center). But I don't get to vote...I just have to live with what happens.
