Nobody Is Buying Clinton’s ‘Most Qualified’ Narrative
Observer ^ | 7/27/2016 | Ashe Schow

Posted on 07/28/2016 1:10:04 PM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

If there’s one theme being pushed repeatedly at the Democratic National Convention, it’s the idea that Hillary Clinton is the “most qualified” candidate ever to run for president.

A brief sampling of Democrats using the phrase in their floor speeches:

Michelle Obama: “I am with you tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with that responsibility, only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States, and that is our friend Hillary Clinton.”

American Federation of Teachers President Randi Weingarten: “Hillary is the most qualified person to run for president in my lifetime.”

Rep. John Lewis: “She is one of the most qualified candidates to ever run for president.”

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner: “You take a look at her resume and what she’s accomplished, I think you can make a pretty good case that she’s the most accomplished candidate for president maybe since George Washington.”

This constant repetition proves one thing: This is what Democrats want people to think about Clinton. The fact that they have to keep repeating it shows it’s not what people immediately think when they hear the candidate’s name.

And is she the most qualified? She certainly has a lengthy resume filled with wonderful titles, but what she’s done with those titles has garnered many noteworthy accomplishments. They’ve actually seemed to bring more failures.

Take her stint as secretary of state. That’s a great title, and Democrats will try to claim she helped women and girls around the world, but they won’t offer concrete evidence of success. What most people think of when they think of Clinton’s time as the secretary is Benghazi, Libya, an attack that occurred because Clinton’s State Department ignored warning signs...

“Most qualified” is the biggest of the big lie.

So in 2008 she wasn’t the most qualified even after 8 years as wife of President, and 8 years as senator from NY and she lost to the 2-year Jr. Senator with a history of voting present. But since then she spent 4 years as SecState and 2 years making private speeches for millions and that has put her over the top of every person to ever run for, let alone be elected...hmmmm

Soooooo there, Ms. Hillary is the Most Qualified.

More than her Husband? More than Obama? More than JKF or FDR?

No one in her media will ask her that.

Here is Hillary's biggest problem. She and her lemmings say that she deserves the presidency. Trump on the other hand says he will earn the presidency.

Deserve is code word for welfare, minimal wage. amnesty for illegals, food stamps, etc. Earn is code word foe well earn. Roll up your sleeves and do it. Like you earned it

Who has ever SEEN a list of these traits that supposedly make Herself “qualified”?

I have seen a more sternly applied litany of standards applied at a cat show.

Ask any of them what she accomplished and they will all say the same thing.

She stayed out of prison.

Hillary isn’t even qualified to be a grammar school Class President, much less President of the United States.

What is funny is that she is bragging that she is the most qualified comparing herself to Bill who was a governor and a 2 time President. So wonder what Bill thinks of that?

Wasn’t Obama the most qualified ever back when?

THE Teacher’s Association/UNION. What cheats and pandering knee jerks with the most liberal arts degrees per capita. This union in each state is the real reason our schools SUCK. These teachers do less work then Gov employees.

Qualified implies you accomplished something. Just marking time in a job title doesn’t qualify you for anything. If she were qualified, the “Reset” button would have translated to “reset” not “overcharge”. If she were qualified, ambassador Stevens would be speaking at this convention. If she were qualified, she would have passed the bar exam and not gotten fired from the Watergate commission. If she were qualified, God forbid, we would be dealing with universal health care.

Being a failure at everything does not qualify you for anything.

So we’ve seen her resume. Now we’re going through the interview and checking references. The references she has provided at the dnc convention are suspect. Her interview skills are terrible as she only has one answer to every question, “I will be the first woman president.” I would have to say if she were the only woman who applied for the job, she wouldn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of getting it.

Qualified: NOT!!!

Oh come on—now tell me, who can delete email like Hillary?
Who can lie like Hillary?
Who can get awy with breaking the law as well as Hillary?
Who can fake a smile like Hillary?

I could go on and on, but you get my drift.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
