So who will be our preferred candidate?

I have my Hillary shirts going back centuries, lol!

I love Bernie's "gruff but truthful" style!

In truth, I like them both for differerent reasons.

But to be honest, I think her experience has an advantage.

He has spent nineteen years in Congress and is finishing his second term in the Senate. Before that he was the mayor of Burlington, Vermont.

Hillary was First Lady of Arkansas and then First Lady of the US, both unelected positions. Sure she sat in on meetings so I guess that counts for something, but so did a lot of other unelected staffers. Then she spent a term as a senator and a term as SoS.

Why does this make Bernie less experienced than Hillary?
