[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 22465, member: 35"] I wasn't debating the qualifications of Trump and Clinton. Trump's never held elected office before, so of course Hillary has him beat in terms of political experience. However, your assertion that Hillary is the most qualified candidate of all time is still debatable. Not because of her years in the political arena, but because of her policy record and judgement. I say this not as an advocate of Trump, but as someone who saw both candidates objectively. Trump is crude, petulant, and reckless, while Hillary often sold out her ideals for political expediency and was dismissive of millennials. You could look at that and say "Well Trump is clearly worse," but I still see a Democratic candidate that was once against gay marriage, in favor of the wars, in favor of TPP, is bought off by Wall Street, etc. Moving to the left was a result of both changing political opinions in the country, as well as trying to woo progressive Sanders supporters. However, that proves her positions could have changed again just as quickly given the right circumstances. Even though Sanders was polling higher against Trump than Hillary was during the primaries? I'm not saying it's a certainty he would have won, but I do think his chances would have been better. And no offense, but you calling me delusional is funny in the wake of Trump's victory. You and other Hillary supporters were so sure you had the election in the bag that you ignored warnings to the contrary. [/QUOTE]
