Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are very similar ideologically, and many claim that a Clinton presidency would essentially be a third term of Obama. If Hillary Clinton wins, how would her presidency compare to that of Obama?

Hillary Clinton will join Bill in getting impeached. This time over pay-for-play as SoS and the Clinton Foundation. That's the real scandal, still under investigation by the FBI.

President Hillary Clinton is basically Obama's third term.

They're extremely similar on policy. I see it being the same. Whether it's better or worse depends on whether the world continues to go down the sh**tter (ISIS, European disintegration) and how well she gets her domestic agenda thru Congress.

Well, I think she would have been better had she been president for the last seven and a half years. But now that it's 2016 and it'll be the third straight term of Democratic presidents, it will admittedly be very challenging for her to reach her full potential.

Depends if she can deliver on policy and more importantly, properly sell it to the American people so they actually give her credit for the progress she makes.

Even though I'll most likely be voting for her, I have no doubts that it'll be worse than Obama's. You guys thought Obama had a hard time getting anything through the Republican-controlled House, just wait.

Not to mention I doubt she'll follow through on any of her new "progressive" goals. She'll most likely still sign the TPP and she won't even address tuition-free college.

I don't see a particularly effective leader as of yet.  I see someone who is impatient, elitist, dishonest, and acts with a sense of entitlement that comes from being near the center of power for 25 years.  But she could always surprise.

With a Republican Congress I don't see a whole lot getting done.  They will obstruct anything she tries to accomplish, and I don't know if she has the guts Obama has to use executive authority the way he did to get around them.  With a Democratic Congress driving a legislative agenda, a lot could be accomplished.

It's really hard to say.  She could be a great president, she could be a placeholder.
