I didn’t say she was more qualified. I said that that experience was more useful than Sanders’ mayoral experience.

Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton were not equivalent First Ladies. Hillary Clinton did a lot with the position that hadn’t been done before or since.
Mayor of a town of 40,000 doesn’t address almost any federal issue. Clinton was an active and involved First Lady who shaped a number of legislative initiatives. So yes, I think that experience is more applicable. And if you want to try to make it about feminism, I would have preferred Clinton’s first lady experience…
Hillary Rodham graduated with honors from Wellesley, where she gave the commencement address, and then attended Yale Law School all before she even met Bill. Sure, she’s benefitted from being his wife, but even if she’d never met him, Hillary Rodham would’ve been pretty damn successful.
Sadly, the only thing that’s going to “bring on a revolution” is if Netflix’s servers were to go down for a whole weekend.
The notion that 8 years of mayoral experience in Burlington, a town of about 40,000, is useful towards the presidency is NONSENSE. I would definitely rank national experience, even in an unelected position like First Lady or Secretary of State, as more relevant than that.
Tammy Duckworth: no high-level executive or foreign policy experience; only a US Rep.
Anytime someone talks about revolution, I can’t help but roll my eyes.

Who was in Life magazine for a liberal rebuttal of a standing Senator’s speech at their college graduation, who got a job as part of the Watergate prosecution team straight out of law school? Are you guessing Bill? You’d be wrong. Sexism has some amazing blinders available- every accomplishment Hillary Rodham had was…
Wait, so because her family had money, her time in public office don’t count as accomplishments? That makes absolutely no sense.
So the fact that she went to law school, graduated with honors, has built a career (that she put on hold to support her husband in his own ambitions)...none of that matters because she comes from money and married a man who became president? She might've had a leg up but that doesn't mean she owes her entire career to…
Did Hillary’s family have way more money than I am aware of? Nearly every successful person, every successful politician, has some edge they were able to leverage to give them the opportunity, whether it’s family money, connections, marrying someone who will support the family while they realize their ambitions. No…
Do you often devalue the accomplishments of women?
Pretty sure that’s not what Whiskeyprayer said.
Did you not see the word viable? There are lots of qualified people of either gender who are not viable as candidates, and unfortunately, female candidates often have to be twice as qualified as their male peers to be considered viable.
It’s not her support of Bernie Sanders that makes me question her feminism, but the fact that she chooses to define Clinton by her relationship to her father and her husband, rather than any actual merits or her own accomplishments.
Can all of these people who want a female president, just not this one please give me five viable alternatives with the public service and foreign policy experience of Hillary Clinton we can run in 2020?
