Hillary actually scares me MUCH less than most of the other candidates.
She's a strong negotiator, and I believe more likely than any other candidate to improve relations with the rest of the world.
When it comes down to it, all the candidates (and all higher-level politicians for that matter) are nothing more than money-grubbing tools, and if you're looking for miracles, you're going to be disappointed.
I think my least favorite would have to be Ron Paul tho. LET'S BUILD A WALL BETWEEN THE US AND MEXICO, REINSTATE THE GOLD STANDARD, and hell, while we're at it, LET'S DISSEMBLE THE WELFARE SYSTEM.
You don't think the welfare system is flawed? It seems the people who really need welfare are too ashamed to use it and the people who do use it have come to depend on it. The welfare system also makes it inaccesaable for people who are struggling to raise a family. Who has the time to spend entire days at the welfare offices? One has to put up with so much bureaucratic bullshit that just trying to get aid becomes a full time job. Does the welfare system just promote poverty by not pushing people to apply themselves, and on the same hand, can you really blame people for taking money from such a corrupt government that only takes and spends? Who's to blame: the people or the system?
