Well, look, even if I were, for the sake of this post, to stipulate that their level of qualification is identical, there's unqualified and intelligent and willing to listen to differing positions and be a force for unification in the world, and then there's unqualified and uninformed and stupid and uninterested in positions other than her own and wanting to be a continuation of the imperial presidency we've lived in for eight years.
In other words: it's not the experience that she really fails at.
