I don't know...she voted for Jesse Jackson. She has lost some credibility with me. I need to find out her stance on gay marriage, gun control, Islamic extremists, etc.
On second thought...if you endorse her, she has my vote!
Gay Marriage - Episcopalian so no problem, though I don't know that she ever performed a same sex ceremony. She did marry my sister to her buckeye husband, so decide if that's more egregious.
Gun Control - She used to say that knowing how to hunt and use a gun was a life skill but she in no way likes what's going on these days and thinks the 2nd Amendment was for a time when bears and Indians might attack your land and you needed to bear arms.
Islamic extremists - Probably the most complex issue based on being a member of the clergy. When we were kids she took us to a very black Baptist Church in Chicago ...to Jewish Temple ...some horribly depressing Missouri Synod Lutheran Church and to a fair number of Catholic services (though they denied us communion because they're arrogant bastards!) so we could see different denominations/religions for ourselves and looking back, that was pretty cool. I think she's really saddened by the state of things when it comes to ISIS and the recent attacks. She's just sad about it, but forgiving as a good Christian.
She's also got a slight tinge of dementia which can at times be funny but in the end is a bit sad.
Still, she'd be a better President than either of the "presumptive nominees"
