Gee, she isn’t qualified. I wonder if any other presidents used the experience of being a state governor to become president? Yes, seventeen have, including 4 in recent years.

Well, if other presidents are qualified by being former state governors, why isn’t she? Could it be because she is a WOMAN ?????
