Hillary Clinton is the Democratic front runner and a political juggernaut that many think cannot be stopped. Despite a respectable challenge from Bernie Sanders, Clinton still seems like she will definitely be the Democratic nominee for president in 2016. But this does not mean that her campaign is without its hiccups. Recently, she came out against China in a speech that should remind Democratic voters of a key fact in this campaign: Hillary Clinton is a war hawk. Going into the Fourth of July weekend, Clinton's campaign was defending her record on progressive issues in light of the surge that Sanders has seen in support. According to The Guardian, she used a speech to defend her record. "I take a backseat to no one when you look at my record in standing up and fighting for progressive values."

As a self-identified "democratic socialist," Bernie Sanders is far to the left of Clinton, making her progressive pitch harder to make. But nothing is quite making a dent in her polished brass facade like her recent comments on China. Reuters reported on her Saturday speech during a campaign stop in New Hampshire where she accused China of cyber attacking America. Clinton said, "They're also trying to hack into everything that doesn't move in America." She went on to say that they are taking commercial secrets, stealing from defense contractors, and stealing vast quantities of government data just to gain an advantage. She also advised that America be "vigilant" when it comes to military matters because, according to Clinton, China's military is growing fast and they are threatening countries with U.S. treaties with new military

    Some people believe her values are “a result of having lived through the depression” (Harris 673). She has seen the worst and hopes to make things better for her people. As a child, Clinton was “earning merit badges in girl scouts and starring in the girls softball league” (Harris 674). She has always believed women were smart and strong. Earning badges and playing sports might not seem like much, but it taught a young Clinton that women can do anything they set their mind to. Clinton went off to college and met her husband Bill Clinton there. As the couple got older, Bill decided he wanted to run for president. Hillary “went to Indiana to coordinate the campaign” (Harris 678) for Bill. From the start to the end of Bill’s presidency, Hillary was “extremely active in government affairs” (Hurley 204). She “[emphasized] the need for a global feminist agenda” (Hurley 204-205). Even though Bill was the president, Hillary applied herself as if she were the president. She encouraged equality for genders. Her speech “Women’s Rights Are Human Rights” was given right in the middle of Bill’s presidency.

    Since all candidates need assistance in raising vast amount of money in order to conduct an efficient and long term campaign, they need to illicit financial campaign donations from outside individuals and corporations to enhance their chances. The first instance of this occurring was in 1944 when one candidate (Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt) who was running for reelection was able to fund his campaign through the creation of a PAC of the Congress of Industrial Organizations.

At that point, the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 came into effect which put strict limitations on the amount of money donated to a candidate by an individual,
