Hillary Clinton Is the Peerless 2016 Candidate

[Beacool]

None of the other 17 presidential contenders seems remotely ready for the presidency.

By Brian Beutler

The 2016 presidential primaries were originally heralded for the number of talented, credible candidates with a plausible path to the presidency.

After several months, four Republican debates, and two Democratic debates, it is striking just how wrong that assessment was. There are 18 declared Republican and Democratic candidates: 15 in the Republican primary, three in the Democratic primary. The contrast between the Democratic and Republican fields is difficult to characterize because the incentives controlling Republican politics have both caused the field to swell, and driven most of its candidates to adopt deeply unpopular policy positions.

But lump all 18 together and it’s striking how many are outright unqualified to be president, and how only one—Hillary Clinton—has mastered issues in every substantive realm, and already resembles a president.

Not that it will change anyone's mind, but I found this to be an informative article.

5. If we want to save the middle class then Bernie is the peerless candidate.

"We came, we saw, he died" is all about protecting the 1%.

6. HRC "has mastered issues in every substsantive realm". Oh yes.

The article goes on to say she "already resembles a president."

How many Hillary supporters here have tried to get that same message across on the threads of DU, but were met with ridicule?

It's as plain as day people, wake up and smell the coffee.

15. Barring any unforeseen eventuality, I think that Hillary will be the nominee.

She looks presidential because of the three candidates she has the most varied resume that has given her the necessary experience to handle the job. She also is very hardworking and a pragmatist. She doesn't promise the moon and the stars because she knows that she will have to deal with a Republican Congress.

7. Hillary has peers, their are many hawks that invaded the wrong country and love wall st

But I suppose in the context of the 2016 Democratic primary she is "peerless", however I would argue she has a peer in Bush in the other primary.

8. Interesting replies to his tweet and retweet of this...

...he basically got bombed. Not much agreement with him.

13. Opinions differ.

She may be "qualified" but she is unfit to be president.

[Beacool]

16. I beg to differ.

I think that she is the most qualified person to hold the job of all the candidates who are in the running.

17. Your opinion is supported by a significant number of Dem legislators. nt
