What if...Hillary was a Republican?

Welcome to Tony Island!

Today, I want to do an experiment...

Imagine, if you will, Hillary Rodham Clinton never switched political parties and remained a staunch conservative Republican like her father. Now let's imagine she did everything as a Republican as she did a Democrat - that is, First Lady, Senator, Secretary of State...with all of the ensuing controversies.

Now, here's where YOU come in ....

1) If you are a REPUBLICAN, would you defend this woman? Would the State Department private server issue be just "a mistake"? Would Whitewater and any other controversy she's been in be just misunderstandings or perhaps a "vast Left Wing smear  campaign"?

2) If you are a DEMOCRAT, would you defend this woman? Would the State Department private server issue be "forgiven" because she is SO qualified to be President? Would you fear her because you are afraid of a strong, independent woman? Would you cross party lines and vote for this woman?

Try to be honest in your answers. It's hard to undo your partisan feelings, but try to do just that and give us some feedback below. I look forward to reading your thoughts on this.

IF Hillary remained a REPUBLICAN, how would you react to her based on your own party affiliation?
