All the speculations surrounding Hillary Clinton’s political aspirations in 2016 should stop now. Hillary Clinton is running for president and she knows it.
In a recent interview a Canadian network CBC, the former Secretary of State said that she recognizes the fact that the American women are more than ready for a female president, but she admits that although there are many possible female candidates, she is more qualified because she has “gone through the fire.”
“I’m incredibly touched by it and feel responsible because of it,” she said. “And I know that it’s important that we break that highest and hardest glass ceiling. I also believe there are quite a few women who are eminently qualified but may not have the profile.”
She said that there are other women in the Democratic party capable of running for president, but explained that she is more qualified.
“We have a good bench, so to speak. But they haven’t gone through the fire. Part of the reason why there’s a big drumbeat for me to run is because I’ve done it,” she said.
