president before amid growing
speculation Clinton announced her bid
for the 2008 presidential election on
January 20th 2007 I announced today that
I’m forming a presidential exploratory
committee I’m not just starting a
campaign though I’m beginning a
conversation seeking nomination of the
Democratic Party Clinton would have
become the first woman ever to win a
major party nomination in US history had
she won following the launch of her
campaign Clinton quickly became the
front-runner in all major polls by a
substantial margin until Senator Barack
Obama closed the ranks on June 7th 2008
after Barack Obama had become the
presumptive Democratic nominee Clinton
suspended her campaign and swiftly
endorsed him unfortunately
her political campaign was accused of a
host of finance irregularities and only
managed to finish paying off the debt at
the beginning of 2013 number 7 what are
the presidential primaries the
presidential primaries are the process
by which the various political parties
choose their nominee for president
depending on state procedures the
current primary elections and caucuses
narrow the pool of nominees and
ultimately determine the Party nominee
these are used as part of an indirect
election process that determines the
number of Delegates that will be able to
vote for the presidential nominee at the
party’s national convention in addition
to electing the party’s choice for
president the National Convention which
is held every four years outlines the
platform on which they will run
campaigning for the national convention
and by extension for president typically
begins the year before the first primary
in New Hampshire and thus two years
before the presidential election number
six what is a presidential election a
year of campaigning for the presidential
election begins once the various
political parties have each chosen their
nominees at their respective national
conventions these elections are
typically held towards the end of the
current president’s four-year term when
the population casts their votes to
elect the next president and the vice
president in order to qualify for the
position a presidential nominee must be
a natural-born citizen of the United
States a minimum of 35 years of age and
a resident of the United States for at
least 14 years number five what is
Hillary Clinton’s campaign based on
Hillary Clinton’s platform agenda will
only be announced if she becomes the
Democratic Party’s presidential nominee
in 2016
that being said Clinton’s 2008
presidential bid and her time spent in
the White House while serving as First
Lady and Secretary of State gives
serious indications as to what her
platform might entail following the
announcement of her candidacy Clinton
visited several states that suggested
she will be focusing on the middle class
and her campaign will most likely
address issues such as increasing the
minimum wage and reducing economic
inequality furthermore analysts have
speculated that her platform will
closely follow the student and
immigration reforms a fellow Democrat
President Barack Obama number four what
are her qualifications
Clinton has had a long and illustrious
political career so far dating back to
her days interning at an Oakland
California law firm where she worked on
child custody cases in particular she

to 2001 working on health care reform
and other policy initiatives in 2000

became his Secretary of State for his
first term as Secretary of State she
gained experience in foreign relations
among them spearheading us-led missions
regarding the Arab Spring protests the
raid in Pakistan against Osama bin Laden
and a historic visit to Burma a few
other incidents of note regarding her
time as Secretary of State include her

lapses following the 2012 Benghazi
attack and her use of a private email
server for business and the subsequent
deletion of those emails after deciding
not to return for a second term she has
since been the subject of backlash for
the massive fees she received to speak
at various venues like colleges and
universities number three who are her
supporters entering the political fray

must rebuild her support base as she
launches her campaign in what could be
her final bid for the White House
according to a CBS News poll conducted
in early 2015
81% of Democrats would consider voting
for Hillary Clinton in the primary
Clinton’s aides are hoping to set
campaign donation records with some
estimating that total donations by

dollars
the main supporters of Hillary’s
campaign for presidency are lawyers
Wall Street banks labor unions
Democratic hedge fund managers women’s
groups and fundraising groups known as
super PACs which are dedicated to an
individual candidate these political
action committees are campaign
contributors that fall in line with her
core principles and political background
number two
who are her likely opponents I’m running
for president Hillary is the first

Lincoln Chaffee all five potential
candidates have vastly different
ideologies levels of campaign
preparedness and political experience if

Rand Paul other potential opponents that
had yet to officially launch their
presidential campaigns by the time

Hillary Clinton become president she is
my friend I think she would be an
excellent president as the first
Democratic candidate out of the gate
Clinton enjoyed a sizable boost in the
polls as of early April 2015
her 2016 campaign is light years away
from her 2008 campaign which saw her
launching to the presumptive tune of I’m
in and I’m in to win this time Clinton
announced her campaign with a minute and
a half long video with a simple message
every day Americans need a champion and
I want to be that champion as such her
illustrious career as a politician and
lawyer her impressive campaigning drive
coupled with her famous last name will
certainly turn the 2016 political
