The politics that can slow down Hillary Clinton

After the primary elections in New York, the triumph of Hillary Clinton seems undeniable[1]. But whether the results remain similar and the American society chooses the formal Secretary of the State to become the next President of the United States in November 2016, will Clinton be able to overcome the current obstacles that are part of the national politics?

Will Clinton continue Obama`s initiatives?

Numerous are the issues that presently trouble the American nation. According to the polls[2], some of the state urgent topics continue to concern the matters of health care, gun control, net neutrality and combat against the Islamic terrorism in the Middle East.

Certain initiatives regarding the topics have been already undertaken by the current U.S. President[3], Barak Obama, but the concrete results of his attempts will depend on Clinton`s future decisions.

Both Clinton and Obama are members of the Democratic party but they have been demonstrating different political achievements on the marsh of their career development[4].

With this in mind, it can be assumed that Clinton`s future Presidential intentions will be oriented towards the U.S. external affairs with the Middle East - a strategic political objective that whether not synchronized with the public insists for domestic improvement can lead to electoral distrust towards the Democrats` leader.

The angry Middle class

Presently, the U.S. citizens appear to be quite disposed on economic stagnation. Nearly half of the society suffers from financial insecurity. As stated in the records[5], only 38 percent of the Americans would cover a $1,000 emergency hospital consultancy or directly give $500 for car repair.

Another statistics show that approximately 55 percent of the households do not have enough liquid savings to replace a month’s worth of lost income and that 71 percent have been concerned of having enough money to cover their daily expenses in 2014.

Whether the intentions of the next U.S. President will be truly concentrated on the nation`s wealth, the American public demands should not be let aside.
