Hillary Clinton: Qualifications to be President

[PaintMyHouse]

HC has the one qualification, the only one, that's necessary - she can get elected. Now you know.

By New York?

By the nation. Read the polls, she does.

And here the Mexicans do that work. That's why they don't kick them out.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

Since when is electability a qualification? That's just stupid.

Very true.....Hillary can carry the battleground states.
Very few Republicans can

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Since when is electability a qualification? That's just stupid.

In actuality it's the only qualification since it's the only thing that ultimately matters, winning. If you are highly qualified but can't get elected then there's no point even putting your name on the ticket. That's reality, something you struggle with.

 

[rightwinger]

Since when is electability a qualification? That's just stupid.

It has always been the primary qualification

Hillary Clinton Can Stand On Her Own Accomplishments

Being the wife of a Governor and a President is not a qualification, dumbass!!

HC has the one qualification, the only one, that's necessary - she can get elected. Now you know.

Very true.....Hillary can carry the battleground states.

She can win where Obama did, and that's all that matters in the end.

Yeah.. for an imbecile. That's how we got President Kardashian... style over substance.

We don't elect the best people for public office. We elect who can get elected. Time for you to grow up and deal with the real world.

 

[Statistikhengst]

She was elected because her husband had been Pres, that's it. The Democrat machine got behind her because they wanted her in that position to help them. When she was there what the hell did she do? C'mon mr. fluffer, there's lots of Senators out there. What the hell did she do in 12 years? Name the bills she co-authored. Name the committee's she sat on and the influential decisions she helped craft. C'mon. Show us something other than her despotism derived jobs.

OK.

You can click at the links to see EXACTLY what the legislation was. There was a ton of it.

Hillary Clinton was quite a workhorse in the US- Senate. Even her Republican colleagues were forced to admit this. She was also one of the most-in-attendance Senators in the US Senate during those 8 years and when she was not there, until the 2008 primaries, was in her home state of New York, bringing the issues to the residents of her state, which is what a Senator is supposed to do.


That is her record. People who think that she did nothing of consequence in the US Senate are total blithering idiots. They, like Westwall, are the fuckwads who are going to be completely rolled over by Steamroller Clinton in 2016.


And, just for shits and grins:

Let's compare her work record to Jim DeMint, who was also elected to two terms (did not completely serve out his second term) from 2005-2013:

Jim DeMint Congress.gov Library of Congress

His TOTAL legislation over 7.5 years: 2,032 total pieces of legislation that he sponsored or co-sponsored. Of that 2,032, Jim DeMint directly sponsored 753 piece of legislation. He directly sponsored slightly more legislation than Clinton, but his overall work record was decidedly less. Plus, she did this on top of running for President in 2008.

Any Republican out there know EXACTLY what Jim DeMint sponsored, by name?

Chuckle, chuckle.

 

[Statistikhengst]

The US Constitution says that the eligibility requirements for the presidency are:

Natural born US citizen.
Age of 35 (or above).


Hillary Rodham Clinton is EMINENTLY qualified to be the next President of the USA:

-Law degree
-First Lady of the State of Arkansas
-First Lady of the USA
-Senator from New York
-first serious female candidate for President (2008)
-Secretary of State.

The only candidate in the last FOURTY years to have a resume deeper than hers was:

George H. W. Bush (41).


Rrrrraging Rrrrrighties, beware what you ask for, you just may get it. The more you bitch about what you think is her lack of qualifications, the more they will be thrown into your faces.

 

[Siete]

if she decides to run, and the people go to the polls and vote, they'll decide if she's qualified to be POTUS, not the morons on this board.

RW's are trending getting their ass whopped' by the Dems ... again.

 

[Statistikhengst]

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

The White House cleaning staff has the same exposure

Silliness. No, it does not.

You're correct. Many of the cleaning staff are far better qualified than Hillary. Thank you for making the so clear.

Well, feel free to show us their resumes. You have gone from being silly to being just plain old idiotic in this matter.

Thank you. After 36 pages somebody finally posted something up we can look at. But seriously. That's it? 12 years and that's it? I see a lot of sponsoring of other peoples work. I don't see much of what SHE did.

 

[Mertex]

RWNJ onslaught in 5.... 4..... 3.... 2..... 1......

They're still pondering Palin - who attended 5 colleges in 6 years to get a 4-year degree in sports journalism. I'm not sure how they'll handle the Glen Rice affair.

Well, we really don't even know if she ever graduated. Right-wing was so obsessed with Obama posting his grades, yet they never questioned her about posting her diploma. She first claimed she had gotten a degree in something that the school wasn't even teaching at the time she would have graduated, so then she changed her tune and said her degree was in something else, which makes it doubtful that she even graduated....if she runs, she knows that it will be disclosed, even by her own party competitors...the Rice affair won't even come up after that.......imagine a President with no college degree!

 

[Statistikhengst]

Since when is electability a qualification? That's just stupid.

It has always been the primary qualification

In fact, in spite of the fact that Hillary will not win quite the landslide of a Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, LBJ or FDR, she will probably be the first president-elect to have gotten the most electoral bang for the buck since William McKinley. Those who know their electoral history know what I mean. I don't expect Rrrrraging Rrrrrrighties to grasp this. Rrrrrighties, go back to your Tonka toys. Thanks.

The US Constitution says that the eligibility requirements for the presidency are:

Natural born US citizen.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is EMINENTLY qualified to be the next President of the USA:

-Law degree
-First Lady of the State of Arkansas
-First Lady of the USA
-Senator from New York
-first serious female candidate for President (2008)
-Secretary of State.

The only candidate in the last FOURTY years to have a resume deeper than hers was:

George H. W. Bush (41).


Rrrrraging Rrrrrighties, beware what you ask for, you just may get it. The more you bitch about what you think is her lack of qualifications, the more they will be thrown into your faces.

A law degree is a qualification to be president? Since when? First lady of Arkansas? Being a candidate for president makes you qualified to be president?and she did absolutely nothing as Secretary of state, or in the Senate

A law degree makes you qualfied?

Being married to the governor or President is a qualification?

Why didn't she run in Arkansas for Senate? Isn't that her home State?

A political appointment hardly makes one qualfied.
