Bernie has been a mayor and in Congress way longer than Hillary was. That doesn't qualify him. His positions on issues do, though.

He has 15 years of Executive experience as Governor and Mayor. Plus, he has 8 years on city council. He also has the largest # of accomplishments of anyone running. As Governor, he did the following:

Repealed the death penalty and commuted remaining death row prisoners to life in prison.
Enacted the DREAM Act.
Gave driver's licenses to undocumented Americans.
Increased voting rights by restoring voting rights to felons plus worked to make voting easier.
Raised minimum wage.
Signed SSM into law and campaigned to keep it legal.
Raised taxes on rich.

Hillary has 8 years in the Senate and 4 as SoS. Neither of those roles gave her any executive experience. In the Senate, she was a seat warmer with no real accomplishments to his name. At State, she took a back seat to Obama and Biden in foreign policy. That's why her team touts the record # of miles she flew as SoS as her major accomplishment from State. Of course, Kerry is on track to surpass that record shortly.
