The end.

But 12 million Clinton voters were illegal aliens? Right? ;)

And don't say because she was Secretary of State. she got that job to placate her for losing to Obama.
And don't say because she won election as a senator from New York. the machine politics of the New York democrats could elect Hitler or Stalin to that seat.
And don't say because of her experience as the first lady of Arkansas or the US as that was all because of her husband. and no one really liked her in ether position as she was 'schooled' as how it was in Arkansas and was spanked when she did her 'healthcare' campaign in the White House.
And don't me misogynistic or go all glass ceiling on this as there are plenty of other women much more qualified to be the first one.

Oh. Good. I didn't say any of those things.

hey bomb, what were her qualifications. and don't go on with that pop vote. that came from all of the nutty californians who voted for her. they also voted for a lot of democrat nuts here

oh and bomb, we have NEVER elected the president by popular vote, EVER!

I think Brad was referring moreso to why pick her at the ballot box than why she should be President right now. Triumphing her in a positive sense, not casting her as merely the better alternative.

Well, you asked a "should" question. I gave you a "should answer".

For real reasons, I would say that she was Secretary of State. And she won an election as a Senator from New York. And she was First Lady of Arkansas and the U.S. And because she is a woman and we need a woman in charge for once.

I think I hit all the reasons.

so you have no mind, bomb? you just copied what i wrote and shifted the verb? is that how you vote just do the opposite?

That's what I did this go around. I looked at Donald and voted the opposite.

i see that you just explained why she DIDN'T win. there was no reason to elect her just elect a weak resume and forget the person. you sound like a trump supporter in reverse. have you read the book 'Shattered'? it was no wonder we had this outcome. it looks like the nation can blame the election of trump on hillary.

" the machine politics of the New York democrats could elect Hitler or Stalin to that seat."

In this analogy Hitler and Stalin are both democrats despite being a fascist and a communist.

Because she's the least idiot out of everyone who was a candidate.

"we need a woman in charge for once" Not trying to be sexist but why should sex even be looked at to determine a candidates ability? It shouldn't play a role at all....

But honestly, I find it odd so many people, including you in your post, attack her for a lack of experience - which is nuts. Your dismissal of her experience is mind-boggling to me.

Like, I don't even like her. I disagree with much of her platform. But she has experience with both the executive branch (being First Lady), legislative (being Senator) and foreign policy (Sec. of State.)

I was making a joke Daniel...

if you want to talk experience, Nixon and GHW Bush had lots of experience. one resigned and the other lost to a philandering hillbilly.

Why did he lose Brad?

But she was an absolutely terrible Secretary of State. Kerry spent a good portion of his tenure cleaning up after her. And Brad's depiction of NY politics is correct. They could have a literal monkey running and the Dems would find a way to get her elected. Most NY'ers at the time hated that someone would carpetbag into the state and immediately get elected to office. Since then, opinion has cooled since she stuck around, but in the 00s, in my area, opinion was generally negative.

That's true Brad. But not sure why it is relevant to Hillary Clinton?

Gold are you saying the democrats would elect Hitler or Stalin?

I mean, I want this question answered too, because I voted for her simply because she was the least bad in the field. But her résumé isn't inspiring, her campaign lacked any sort of clear vision, and she came off as insincere.

We're interfering in the middle-east again anyway. So maybe it made no difference.

Brain, I'm saying that anyone who gets the approval of the state party is gonna win the seat. It's a foregone conclusion.

Don't get me wrong gold - I'm probably very close to you regarding your view towards Hillary. Her campaign lacked vision, and I do think she is insincere.

But I think many people who say she lacked experience / or wasn't qualified are doing so from a very prejudiced angle. Maybe you think she wasn't qualified because she did a poor job as Sec. of State. But 99% of people couldn't tell you anything about her tenure as Sec. of State.

Gold is saying that Hitler or Stalin would be elected IF they were the candidate put forward by the democrats and their machine politics.

I'm in the same boat as goldie here. I hated Hillary as an option, but, as I said, she was the least of an idiot. If Kasich or Rubio had won the Republican Party, the margins of Republican victory would have been even wider, because I would've gladly voted either of them over her.

I also didn't like her hawkish approaches to foreign policy, but it was better than having no understanding of foreign policy in the slightest.

Or pissing off a prime minister because you've had a long day.
