Hillary Clinton: Qualifications to be President

[Judicial review]

Hey she faked her way into a Senate seat. She faked her way into being Secof State. She lied about a bunch of stuff and got away with it. What more could you want? Oh, did I mention her vagina?

2000:
Clinton (D) 55.27%
Rick Lazio (R) 43.01%
others 1.72%

margin: Clinton (D) +12.26%, in a year where Al Gore (D) won nationally by +0.52% and Bush (R) won in the EC, 271-266-1, 11.74 points ABOVE the national average. Also in a year where the D's only won in all senatorials combined by +0.69%: 48.40% to 47.71%


2006:
Clinton (D) 67.00%
Spencer (R) 31.01%
others 1.98%

margin: Clinton +35.59%, in a year where the D's won the senatorials nationally by +11.52%, 24.07 points ABOVE the national average.

If she "faked" her way into a Senate seat, then so did Imhofe and DeMint, for example.

You are truly miserable at math.

I don't give a shit. List her accomplishments. moron

 

[The Rabbi]

What a pile of stupid bullshit, completely lacking in any foundation, with ZERO facts and ZERO data support. It's nothing more than a butthurt opinion because you dislike Hillary, who is the subject of the OP. Lol..... Please, let's come back to this in 2019. I will be laughing at you for a long, long time.

Stat was is hilary's good accomplishments? Surely someone who believes in her must do so because she's accomplished something..... Gotta have more than a last name.. List them.

Hey she faked her way into a Senate seat. She faked her way into being Secof State. She lied about a bunch of stuff and got away with it. What more could you want? Oh, did I mention her vagina?

YOU ARE FILTH. Any man who would mention a woman's vagina in this context is not a man at all but a pathetic little worm.

We're discussing her qualifications and that seems to be her main one. If she were a man no one would think about her. Right?

You are a disgusting, filthy worm.
Does your wife know you talk about women this way? Does your daughter? How would you like people to reduce the value of your wife or daughter down to their vaginas? You're no man. No decent man would ever do what you are doing.

Oh please quit the fauxrage. Vaginas are all the talk in feminist circles. Grow up. It's the 21st century for pete's sake.

You are truly an ignorant cocksucker. Unlike Hillary, Imhofe and DeMint actually lived in their respective states for more than 6 months. Go shove it, nazi.

Hillary Clinton is widely admired for her intelligence, drive, and success as secretary of state. Her four years in office have been marked by a series of noteworthy accomplishments and near lack of serious missteps. Replacing her is a daunting task even for someone with Senator Kerry’s impressive foreign policy credentials. Below are 5 highlights from Clinton’s tenure:

1. People-to-People Diplomacy

Clinton understands the importance of strengthening ties with friends and allies while simultaneously engaging adversaries. Through intensive personal interaction, she has deftly built new relationships and managed old ones in a way that advance U.S. interests. In her own words, she has endeavored to ensure that the U.S. has “…a seat at every table that has the potential for being a partnership to solve problems.” For example, she expertly led efforts to rescue Chen Guangcheng, the dissident who took refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing in May 2012, without crippling U.S.-China relations. Clinton has been the most active secretary of state in history, as a result. She has traveled more frequently and visited more countries than any of her predecessors; to date, her travels have spanned nearly 1 million miles and 112 countries.


2. The Importance of Economics

Clinton articulated a new vision of Economic Statecraft that made domestic economic growth – e.g. helping U.S. companies win business overseas – a key pillar of U.S. foreign policy. She made foreign policy relevant to the broader economic conversation, taking place in the U.S. in a show of political savvy few previous secretaries could match. And Clinton appointed the State Department’s first ever-chief economist to help implement Clinton’s vision. She also supported the more traditional economic aspects of foreign policy – such as sanctions – including those that crippled the Iranian government – and free trade – including Free Trade Agreements with allies Panama, Colombia, and South Korea.


3. Restoring American Credibility

Building on people-to-people diplomacy, Clinton has promoted U.S. values in a firm but respectful way that restored international faith in the U.S. that eroded during the Bush administration. Her outreach to Burma balances unwavering support for human rights with the promise of support to a previously suspicious regime and has opened that country to the world for the first time in decades. Aung San Suu Kyi is now free and her party actively participating in the governance reform effort in Burma. Clinton also rejuvenated U.S. engagement in the Middle East by brokering a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel earlier this year. Her shuttle diplomacy and coordination with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi will likely give the U.S. greater leverage to pursue a robust peace process in 2013.


4. Diplomacy is National Security

The now iconic picture of senior officials gathered in the Situation Room during the Osama Bin Laden raid will forever memorialize one of the principal national security achievements of the first Obama administration. Clinton supported the raid and was a key player in adjusting U.S.-Pakistan relations afterwards. She was also a strong proponent of NATO airstrikes in Libya that eventually led to Muammar Gaddafi’s ouster. Her active diplomacy was critical to securing United Nations Security Council authorization of the Libya mission and maintaining strong European and regional support for it. Without such robust diplomatic effort, the use of military force – in Pakistan and Libya – would not have been nearly as effective. Clinton’s role in these two military campaigns highlights the central role foreign policy plays in U.S. national security in the 21st century.


5. Texts From Hillary

In 2012, Clinton became an internet sensation because of a series of memes depicting her having fictitious, comical text exchanges with other celebrities while wearing her trademark sunglasses. Texts from Hillary became so popular that Clinton herself submitted her own caption to the website and invited its creators to meet with her at the State Department. Her star power and ability to capture the imagination of individuals around the world is one noteworthy aspect of her success.


Senator Kerry will likely succeed Hillary Clinton in early 2013. Her tenure as secretary of state is filled with accomplishments that taken together demonstrate the resurgence of U.S. diplomacy and restoration of American credibility. Her specific successes – such as Burma’s opening to the world or crippling effect of Iran sanctions – are important, but so too are her focus on people-to-people diplomacy and economics. Senator Kerry would do well to build upon Clinton’s impressive record once he moves over to Foggy Bottom.

5 Top Highlights in Hillary Clinton s Secretary of State Tenure - Mic

Seriously? She talked to people in her temure? She talked about economics? I do those things every day and I dont think I'm qualified to be president.
No, you are scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Liz Warren going to eat Hillary for lunch.

 

[rightwinger]

Being married to a governor or president isn't a qualification. She was a senator without accomplishment there. Hillary is generally regarded as possibly the worst secretary of state that we ever had. In her own words the disastrous reset with Russia was her best work.

Of course being First Lady is an accomplishment, especially one given the access that Hillary was. She met with world leaders, cabinet members, congressional leaders and dealt with the POTUS on a day to day basis.

Does any Republican have knowledge of the day to day workings of the White House?

Just that gives her more qualifications than any current Republican

How is being a door mat an accomplishment? Do you even know what the word means?

Hillarys exposure to Washington and global politics during her time as First Lady exceeds any current Republican.

You are welcome to try to prove otherwise

People die of exposure, nutjobber.
She has shown neither the character nor the competence for the job.

Bottom line: Name a single accomplishment.

Getting elected doesn't count.

Then the Pubs are just gonna have to change the 'experience' benchmarks, from 'exposure to Washington', over to 'governance'.

At least Bubba Clinton had done a stint as a Governor of a State, before we gave him the keys to the White House.

We let a rookie junior first-term Senator from Illinois into the White House, and he managed to screw the pooch, and lose both houses of Congress.

There are, indeed, examples of Presidential success stories, under circumstances wherein the candidate had not governed, first.

But, after this last Presidency, I think the Nation is better off looking for someone who has actually governed, albeit on a State level, rather than giving the job to another political hack and manufactured celebrity, with nothing more than some time in the Senate, as credentials.

You can serve on a Leadership Committee, then go on to actually LEAD, and be successful, but you have a MUCH better CHANCE of succeeding, if you have already cut your teeth on another sizable Leadership opportunity (State governorship), and made most of your mistakes on somebody else's nickle, before trying to play The Palace.

Or so logic would seem to indicate, as a preferred pathway to the Presidency.

Experience in the office you seek beats being a governor

Hillary had eight years in the Whitehouse followed by four years as Secretary of State. She understands the job she is seeking

A governor understands internal politics of his state but has no understanding of international politics, Washington politics or the internal workings of the executive branch

It's why so many Governors have made it to the White House, and why no First Ladies have made it to the White House.

Even merely within the timeframe from the passage of the 19th... the track record speaks for itself.

Never been done before. Eleanor Roosevelt had similar executive office experience as First Lady. But combine those eight years experience with eight years in the Senate and four as Secretary of State and you have executive level experience that no Governor can match

In her own words, she has endeavored to ensure that the U.S. has “…a seat at every table that has the potential for being a partnership to solve problems.” For example, she expertly led efforts to rescue Chen Guangcheng, the dissident who took refuge in the U.S. Embassy in Beijing in May 2012, without crippling U.S.-China relations.

Clinton also rejuvenated U.S. engagement in the Middle East by brokering a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel earlier this year. Her shuttle diplomacy and coordination with Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi will likely give the U.S. greater leverage to pursue a robust peace process in 2013.


4. Diplomacy is National Security

The now iconic picture of senior officials gathered in the Situation Room during the Osama Bin Laden raid will forever memorialize one of the principal national security achievements of the first Obama administration. Clinton supported the raid and was a key player in adjusting U.S.-Pakistan relations afterwards. She was also a strong proponent of NATO airstrikes in Libya that eventually led to Muammar Gaddafi’s ouster. Her active diplomacy was critical to securing United Nations Security Council authorization of the Libya mission and maintaining strong European and regional support for it. Without such robust diplomatic effort, the use of military force – in Pakistan and Libya – would not have been nearly as effective. Clinton’s role in these two military campaigns highlights the central role foreign policy plays in U.S. national security in the 21st century.


5. Texts From Hillary

In 2012, Clinton became an internet sensation because of a series of memes depicting her having fictitious, comical text exchanges with other celebrities while wearing her trademark sunglasses. Texts from Hillary became so popular that Clinton herself submitted her own caption to the website and invited its creators to meet with her at the State Department. Her star power and ability to capture the imagination of individuals around the world is one noteworthy aspect of her success.


Senator Kerry will likely succeed Hillary Clinton in early 2013. Her tenure as secretary of state is filled with accomplishments that taken together demonstrate the resurgence of U.S. diplomacy and restoration of American credibility. Her specific successes – such as Burma’s opening to the world or crippling effect of Iran sanctions – are important, but so too are her focus on people-to-people diplomacy and economics. Senator Kerry would do well to build upon Clinton’s impressive record once he moves over to Foggy Bottom.
