Hillary has a real chance in 2016 and that's a cool story. Kids do sometimes hit the nail on the head -- not crafted at the art of bullshit yet.
I'd not vote for Hillary at this point.
Some of the Republicans totally missed the point in their thirst to attack her over Benghazi (hello Rand Paul) -- I cared much more about how she handled being held accountable for it (or tried not to be held accountable for it, even though it was under her charter) than I did about the fact that she and others didn't foresee how critical the request for extra formal security truly was to the safety to our diplomats in Libya. The latter, IMO, spoke less about her leadership abilities than the former. JMO.
Plus, her healthcare project during Bill's presidency was a big fail and I think her Russia "reset" was also a fail (though I agree with her positions and dealings with China and her assessments of Putin's objectives -- for the most part).
I don't have a great deal of faith in her ability to construct, consider and delegate key domestic and foreign policy at this point. Then again, I can only think of a handful of politicians who I think might be as capable or more effective, and a lot can happen over the next two years.
Barring serious health issues, I think Hillary will run in 2016.
