Hillary's only experience before becoming Secretary of State was as a senator. The only reason she became a senator was because she was married to Bill Clinton, she had absolutely NO experience before that. Her tenure as a senator was forgettable and her term as Secretary of State was a disaster.

Basically she has no qualifications to be President. To say she's less qualified than Trump is laughable.


I wasn't referring to Hillary. She would be terrible as president because she is a leftist criminal.

The discussion is about the Republican primary and my point was that just because someone is a successful businessman doesn't necessarily mean they would be a good president. It doesn't necessarily mean they would be bad either. It means that people need to look at other qualities as well as business success to determine who might be a good president.
