Probably, based on the electorate these days.
Likely. If the entire country wanted to go out to a restaurant, Hillary would represent Applebees. We know it's bad, but at least we know the kind of bad we're getting. Bernie is a sushi wine bar who's too cool for people who aren't under 40 or some kind of coastal elite.

Meanwhile the Republicans just keep wanting to get raped in a dumpster.

That's exactly right. It is terrible. The entire party is a pile of crap.

As polarized as voters are this election will likely be determined by which side is more outraged by the other and cares enough to actually vote. I see this election as one of the most personally passionate events in a long time.

Both parties fit this bill.
They do, but the democrats really haven't taken a step back in the last two decades quality wise. Hillary is ostensibly a superior candidate to Al Gore or John Kerry (not that that's saying very much at all.) Same with Bernie.

Meanwhile I would kill for a candidate as good as Romney front running in the republican race. the difference is that Republicans have lost control of their dummies. And now the inmates are running the asylum.

Even the democrats ' outsider' candidate has a long political resume. Meanwhile the republicans are divided among a collection of villains from Captain Planet, who have zero political experience.

Hillary is an upgrade even though the majority of the people in this country do not trust her?

I don't know if that's an evaluation of her competence. I would wager that Bill would be considered one of the higher quality democratic candidates. While simulataneously being very untrustworthy.

This is how bad the Republican Party is:

I long for the days of Bill Clinton. He would be make a fine republican candidate about right now.

I'm not kidding. He'd be a great "conservative"these days.

Only for voters that are so party galvanized they would rather vote for Manson.

Personally I think Bill Clinton did a good job and I know for a fact the White Water deal was a witch hunt but he was painted as an impeached President by many and it made them completely non objective.

He enjoyed some good times. Most Of it had nothing to do with him. If it were not for the scandals things would have been much more positive. Still, he wasn't terrible.

The point I was making was that he'd make a fine republican today. And I'm not kidding

Why all the Hilary hate then? They are basically for the same things in politics.
Oh don't get me wrong, I don't want a government, big corporation president in office.

Bill and Hilary really aren't either same. Bill was pretty dang moderate.
