It's not polite. It's not nice. But it's exactly what so many people are thinking...



"I don’t think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC.

I don’t think you are qualified if you voted for the disastrous war in Iraq.

I don’t think you’re qualified if you supported almost every disastrous trade agreement.

I don’t think you are qualified if you supported the Panama free trade agreement, something I very strongly opposed, which has gave the green light to wealthy people and corporations all over the world to avoid paying taxes owed to their countries."

-Bernie Sanders

5. It simply IS. Polite or nice doesn't come in to play here. LOTS of us feel this way.

For these reasons.

And, many, many more.

6. Official Report of the Peoples' Qualification Commission

After an exhaustive study of her ever changing positions, Independent Quality Assurance experts have determined that Hillary Clinton does not meet the basic demands and needs of the overwhelming majority of Americans and will not grant her the Seal of Qualification. They further suggest that she try to buy it elsewhere.

Hillary is not a good choice. She and her husband made bad choices for the last 20 years. Both Clinton's don't qualify.

Bernie is fighting for the soul of the Democratic Party here...or what's left of it.

more a matter of fitness for the job of public service. So now everyone gets to jump on that word as if it were a sexist comment.

10. It's hilarious that her campaign so stupidly invited a discussion of her incompetence.

They just had to play their tired old political bullshit. More bad judgement, I guess.

11. Hillary actually voted against the only trade bill that ever came before her in the Senate (CAFTA)

BS statements about Hillary's support for "all those disastrous trade agreements" goes unchallenged. Supporting you President's agenda as Secretary of State is quite different from having the opportunity to actually vote for or against trade agreements.
