If Hillary is the nominee I am voting for her

I want to see her finish her work in repairing the image and prestige of the United States around the world. I believe she has so much more she can do and actually can do more as President of the United States. As for what her domestic approach will be that is up for debate and something we will all watch with eagerness, but also with trepidation. But we need help from the world community to solve and assist with our problems. That is why I feel Hillary Clinton is up to the task to pull together the world to solve many of the problems ahead (eg global climate change). She has been labeled as a NeoCon Warhawk but her work as Secretary of State showed a different side of her that was far more diplomatic than anyone could have imagined.

and the need to take action.

It may not have come up as often as other issues....but just look at the media. In 2012 the debate moderators did not ask a single question about it. I fully trust that Hillary will make an effort to combat global warming if she is in the White House.

I think it is safe to say that Republicans like Mike Huckabee, Paul Ryan, Scott Walker and Rand Paul will not.

President Obama has taken a lot of heat on this issue, but he has also scored some major accomplishments, from the stimulus package's investments to the recent EPA regulations.

but I think Hillary Clinton can do so much more. As home insurance increases the next two years, the general public is going to start to care about climate change a lot more.
