Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumTwo huge flaws in Sanders saying Hillary isn't qualified...
FLAW 1Sanders was among the 94 senators who voted "Yes" to Hillary being the first Secretary of State under President Obama.
The Secretary of State is fourth in line in the event the president is killed or incapacitated:
1__Vice President
2__Speaker of the House of Representatives
3__President pro tempore of the Senate
4__Secretary of State
That means that Senator Sanders was comfortable with the possibility of her becoming president in Jan. 2009.
FLAW 2
He has said that Hillary is a far superior choice for president over Ted Cruz or Donald Trump. He's also said that he and Hillary agree on most things as recently as a couple of days ago.
What changed besides him running for president and becoming desperate as Hillary moves closer to securing the nomination?
Clearly she is qualified.

(7,286 posts)He is whistling up the attack dogs
It's code for "she is not one of us/she is one of them"
Them being the underprivileged, minorities, women, disabled, POC, immigrants, etc
He is really speaking past Hillary to his supporters, or pulling the white male privilege card

(4,035 posts)And he supported President Obama who supported the same trade deals as Hillary.
Read that again: He had no problems supporting guys who did what he now says disqualifies Hillary from office. What is the only difference between Kerry and Obama on the one hand, and Hillary on the other, when it comes to this? They are men, and she is a woman. The BS supporters may whine about how we point out sexism all the time, but then they shouldn't have supported a candidate who can't f&cking leave off being a sexist!
