Hillary Clinton is the former First Lady and Current Senator from NY. There is no politician that polarizes opinions in the US more and from my observations that is more misunderstood around the globe and even in a little the US. The reason why Hillary tends to be understood outside the US is really the media's fault and the way she is portrayed and the limited access to information. Most average people know her as Bill's wife who was the victim during the sex scandals of the 90s and now as strong woman Senator who has the best chance yet of a female leading the US. In some ways this is true but in reality Hillary more resembles Mitt Romney on the Republican side as someone who is very calculating and changes opinion based on situation and polls (her Iraq positions and current stance on Iran and voting in Senate about Iran).
In 90s unsuccessfully tried to bring a universal health care campaign to US under Bill's reign and now has put forward a new plan under her current campaign. However she is the only major Democratic candidate who receives massive donation from Drug and Health Insurance companies (more than any Republican actually even) and these are the people she lampooned in the 90s and she must fight and essentially take away billions of dollars in profits from to bring any universal health care plan forward. She has a carefully crafted PR image a strong decisive woman not afraid to make tough decisions and that she can operate in a male dominated world, but has stayed with Bill despite 20 years of documented infidelity with numerous women essentially for political reasons.
In fairness to her she has to operate in a system where a single man let alone a single women on any side would probably be unelectable. She has been re-elected as a senator with a massive majority in NY and generally performs well in debates and also has improved her public speaking delivery (you have to feel sorry for he as she is compared to Bill and rival Barack Obama who are both dynamic on the big stage making her look awkward by comparison as most people would). She is the consummate politician with her vague answers and has strong experience on the global stage and would have an amazing advisor in her corner in Bill.
However if elected would represent at least 24 and potentially 28 years of presidency passing between 2 families and most likely more of the same if not more vicious bickering that occurred in the 90s. She would represent a giant leap forward showing that a women is electable but as I said the reasons why people seem to hate her are largely unfounded as as the reasons that people like her as they are based on misinformed assumptions and inaccurate facts. She is the candidate that many Republicans are hoping for as she could energise their base better than they could themselves and she is also despised by the hardcore left of her party as drifting to far right and conservatively economically. Is the overall favorite and the candidate talked about the most on both sides by far. (expect a lot of documentary Michael Moore style movies anti-Hillary to come out next year if she is the Democrat nominee which are in production now in anticipation).
