Mrs. Clinton has held office. She was Senator from NY for one term.
She was also Secretary of State.
But hey, what do I know?

We have a myriad of valid reasons to oppose Hillary!

Ever been mentored in the corporate world? I imagine that she and Bill debated details of his decisions and policies in office all the time for 8 years. Don't discredit the partnership of marriage of a smart woman and a smart man. It's kind of insulting.

I love Bernie best, but Hillary's experience is extraordinary and it's unrealistic to assume she was a passive observer in Bill's presidency.

and of course Board Member of Walmart ...

She has plenty of business and political experience. There are many reasons to dislike Hillary but I don't think we can argue inexperience. She is an incredibly bright and motivated woman. The issue is where her loyalties lie and how well she understands how most people in this country live. My argument is that she was solidly middle class growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, went off to the Ivy League, and then into her career. I don't think she has a clue that most folks live paycheck to paycheck and what that really means.
