13.04. Washington (PAP) – After months of speculation, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton officially announced on Sunday that he was running in the presidential election in 2016. Addressing the mainly middle-class assured Clinton that “wants to be the leader of ordinary Americans.”
The 67-year-old Clinton, wife of Bill Clinton, the President of the United States in 1993-2001, the second time to take the fight to become the first woman president of the United States. In 2008, lost the battle for the Democratic Party nomination of Barack Obama.
“Americans managed to overcome difficult economic times, but the cards are still stacked in favor of those who are at the top. Ordinary Americans need a leader, and I want it to be,” – said Clinton, calling for voters in just 2-minute video message posted on the its new campaign: https://www.hillaryclinton.com and in social media. The material addressed to a wide audience, especially the middle class and poorer images illustrate the life of families, entrepreneurs, young mothers raising children, immigrants or retirees.
Clinton on Tuesday is to go to Iowa and New Hampshire, where he will be held in the first primaries next year to talk with voters, among others, in bars, health centers, and even in the homes of private homes.
This ad is not running in the elections was a surprise. The faithful supporters of Clinton two years ago set up a committee of support “Ready for Clinton” collecting funds for its future campaign. It is expected that they could raise up to $ 1 billion.
From the surveys show that Clinton has almost guaranteed the nomination of the Democratic Party and a great chance to win the ultimate challenge to the Republican candidate. As many as 86 per cent. voters in the primaries of the Democratic Party in the survey confirmed the “Wall Street Journal” and NBC News, conducted in March that he could not imagine that would support Clinton, and only 13 percent. they do not do it.
Although commentators recall that at the beginning of 2008. Clinton also had a 20-point advantage over other candidates of the Democratic Party, and ultimately lost to a young Senator Barack Obama. But as for now, there was no any candidate who would be able to take with her a real fight. The left-leaning electorate, who believes that Clinton has very strong ties with Wall Street, still has hope that the start charismatic promoter regulation of financial markets, a senator from Massachusetts Elizabeth Warren; This, however, has consistently refused to participate in the elections.
Other potential candidates of the Democratic Party, of which he says that he can try to fight a former governor of the state of Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee, a former Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley, a former senator from Virginia, Jim Webb, and even Vice President Joe Biden – polls are far behind Clinton.
Supporters of Clinton as its strengths indicate competence and experience, especially in foreign policy. Before becoming head of American diplomacy for President Obama’s first term, for eight years she was the US senator representing the state of New York, and before that the First Lady in 1993-2001. It is believed that it would be harder than Obama, actively engaging the United States in resolving global conflicts. As published in June 2014. memoir “Hard Choices”, Clinton revealed that differed with Obama, among others, on the conflict in Syria; wanted the US arming moderate opposition, but the President objected.
It is commonly believed, too, that as president Obama would fare better than our relations with the Congress, which is expected even after the elections in 2016 will remain dominated by Republicans.
Clinton complains primarily that I really do not know what his views; has not developed a clear vision of how she would like to change America. “As someone who is in politics for a quarter century, her beliefs are extremely difficult to determine” – wrote in an editorial weekly “Economist”. “Mrs. Clinton is the most opaque person you will ever meet in your life” – admitted even her former colleague of Congress, Democratic Senator Charles Schumer.
This mysterious image of Clinton even strengthened when last month revealed that as secretary of state was using a personal email account address instead of relying on the government. Transferred to the archives of the Government later only emails that were evaluated in the nature of business, and the rest erased. Republicans immediately accused her that she broke the law and the principles of transparency that apply to officials.
“Clintons many times in the past showed that they feel that they stand above the law,” – said on Sunday Republican Senator Rand Paul, who himself also recently announced that he would seek the presidency.
If Clinton wins the election will be the second, after Ronald Reagan, the oldest US president in January with 69 years 2017 years. Some suggest this as a disadvantage, recalling that in 2012, Clinton had a blood clot, which is the result of a concussion.
Clinton Presidential opportunities conducive to a multitude of Republican candidates to the US president. It is difficult even to predict who will face the Democrats. According to current surveys favorite is a very conservative Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, slightly ahead of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
