    She did not oppose her ability to trade in the stock market despite enacting laws that helped enrich her estate.

    I am a very liberal person. She did a lot of good, but I absolutely would not want to see her keep her position.

    That and I’d rather see someone ~36 years old fill the seat than someone whose had it for 36 years.
