When that political depth comes from a systematic Bush-era "nation-building" campaign as SoS and eight years in the Senate during which she passed very little legislation, and the economic depth comes from bending and sometimes outright breaking federal laws with the Clinton Foundation and now with coordination with Super PACs, I can't consider it good depth. That's specifically the depth we don't need, coming from a progressive here. 

What nation building?  Libya? Would you have let Gadaffi slaughter his people?  

She was a Senator during a time which the Republicans controlled the Senate and there was a Republican president. Very difficult time to get laws passed as a democrat.

Her tax plan is the most reasonable and the capital gain part to further incentivizing longer investments is fantastic.  She for raising the minimum wage.  She understands that you shouldn't just say things like "we need to break up the banks" without having a real plan.  Despite being pulled to the left by Bernie and the rise of populism.  It's clear that she understands that free trade is still a better route than being isolationist.  

She is a bit of a Hawk for a democrat when it comes for Foreign Policy but she understands the waters well.  Has vast experience working with most world leaders.  The last of the Iran sanctions, the ones that really broke the camel back before Obama deal were largely completed due to her efforts.

The two for one deal with Bill is plus.  The guy who went over to get Americans back from North Korea,  and presided over balancing the budget with an opposition party in congress.   

 

Between Trump and Hillary it's a no brainer.  As Mark Cuban recently said you should go with the Devil you know instead of the Devil you don't.

Keyword: "his own people" It's his country, not Hillary's. The US should mind its own business unless a country attacks another sovreign country, not itself.

 

And no, you should go with the one you're not sure is a devil vs the one you know is a Devil. Hillary has a lot of political history and it's clear she's a corporate shill. With Trump at least it'll be a surprise. Maybe a terrible one but maybe not. I'd rather take the gamble on that than vote for the definitive devil we know.
