July 24, 201511 yr Let's just elect Jeb and take our chances. If he wins the nomination, he will get my vote.
July 24, 201511 yr You may not like her. That's fine, but her qualifications are equal to most of the others in the race. Definitely more than the guy leading the GOP polls. She has ZERO executive experience...having a title isn't a qualification in and of itself. Please feel free to list her major accomplishments in her public service.
July 24, 201511 yr You may not like her. That's fine, but her qualifications are equal to most of the others in the race. Definitely more than the guy leading the GOP polls. What are her qualifications? Not even close to any of the Republican governors running. Yes,she was Secretary of State. But being a bad Secretary of State does not make one qualified. Plus it still leaves her old, boring and unlikable.
July 24, 201511 yr Serious medical condition for the Hil ? I'm sure Bill has brought home more than a few . LOL
July 24, 201511 yr She has ZERO executive experience...having a title isn't a qualification in and of itself. Please feel free to list her major accomplishments in her public service. I'm not her campaign manager. I am not a huge supporter, but to say she is so bad versus those republican superstars is just dumb. Jeb or Scott has no foreign policy experience unless you count Miami or A bridge to Canada. Who is really qualified for this job? Let's hire them. Not one of these jokers running is.

Bush and Walker have the same foreign policy experience going in as our current president did. You are not going to find anyone who has perfect qualifications going into their first term. At least Bush and Walker have managed governments. Hilary cannot match either as far accomplishments or leadership is concerned.

So you can't name an accomplishment of hers except getting appointed to Sec of State in a back alley deal from the election 7 years ago. Running a state is great training for running the country. Foreign policy is just one part of the job and I would venture to say the one most voters care the least about, when compared to jobs, the economy, national security and running the day to day business of the country.

She did win a senate race twice, but I'm sure you would say that was given to her by the left. Her executive experience is limited to watching her husband run the country. I do agree that being a governor can be great training for our chief office but it can also mean not squat: Carter and Bush 2.

July 25, 201511 yr Ted Cruz says about half of presidents were previously governors, half were senators | PolitiFact Texas Interesting read.
July 25, 201511 yr Author She did win a senate race twice, but I'm sure you would say that was given to her by the left. Her executive experience is limited to watching her husband run the country. I do agree that being a governor can be great training for our chief office but it can also mean not squat: Carter and Bush 2. She won a Senate seat in a state she barley lived in because it's a mecca for liberal agenda. It wasn't an accident the Clinton's moved to NY to give her a high profile seat. NY wasn't going to turn down the wife of their hero regardless of her resume.
July 25, 201511 yr Who would move to state they felt they had no shot in to run for office? :jump: With all this backroom deals and built-in connection talk maybe Hillary should be number 20000 on the GOP ticket. She doesn't fit our last two Dem presidents with all those shady "good ole boy" connections.

July 25, 201511 yr So, now qualification matters? Hmm, what changed? My question was sincere. I'm not sure running a state makes you any more qualified than being a senator, house rep, war hero, etc. Argument above stated governorship was good training for presidency. Sometimes and sometimes not.
