Question for Bernie: At what point does a woman finally become qualified to be President?

[Cali_Democrat]

Apparently a woman can go to a top law school, become a US Senator, be appointed Secretary of State, and still not be qualified to be President of the United States.

So at what point does a woman finally become qualified to be President?

1. His comments have absolutely nothing to do with Hillary being a woman. Read them.

[Baobab]

39. The problems are with Hillary specifically not with her being female

Look at Shirley Chisholm. She ran for president and there were no people saying she wasn't qualified. She clearly was. She would have made a good President.

[CrowCityDem]

54. There is something to it...

... after all, President Obama is guilty of taking corporate money and having a SuperPAC as well. Bernie has never said he isn't qualified to be President, has he?

[highprincipleswork]

55. There s nothing to it. Only in the mind of the beholder, which in this case is you.

[revbones]

2. Nice spin on the misogyny/sexism angle. Really helps your cause. nt

[PyaarRevolution]

3. You know why we don't like Hillary.

I would support Elizabeth Warren, Cynthia McKinney and others without question for President. Oh and Nina Turner.

[Betty Karlson]

24. Nina Turner: please groom her to achieve the highest.

She would be awesome: sound judgement paired with a strong sense of justice AND campaigning strength.

[Politicalboi]

41. She should run on Bernie's ticket as VP

4 years of Bernie and then she can take over in 2020.

[Betty Karlson]

48. I wouldn't mind eight years of Bernie.

His health is likely to allow two full terms: he comes from a very robust family. (And even though such considerations are of minute importance: his bill of health is arguably better than Clinton's.)

[grasswire]

4. play the card again!!

SMH.

Hillary, the perpetual victim.

[Yurovsky]

45. The poor little rich girl...

just tugs at your heart strings, doesn't it???😂

[DisgustipatedinCA]

5. Other qualifications aside, learning how to tell the truth would help her.

[GeorgiaPeanuts]

21. That is some great idea that will NEVER EVER come to pass...

Clinton can't help herself... Narcissists tend to have that problem.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

26. Yeah. Lying is a big part of who Hillary Clinton is. But I did want to answer the OP.

[Else You Are Mad]

33. Truth...

comes in a far second to what her focus groups tell her advisors would win her support.

[Baobab]

42. She doesn't get it.

Which is another reason why she would make a horrible President. She's more than a little bit delusional.

[LoveIsNow]

6. Did he say it was because she was a woman?

No. Never.

He said it was because of her fundraising.

But you knew that.

[oregonjen]

7. When her name is Senator Elizabeth Warren

[nc4bo]

11. Warren, yes please!! I'd support her in a New York minute, no doubt about it. nt

[TheDormouse]

16. Amen.

[msanthrope]

8. I asked that question this morning. It was explained to me that I was wrong

to think this was about gender. In fact, I was sexist to bring that up.

Sound familiar?

How did that work out for Bernie with race and South Carolina?

[Betty Karlson]

20. Sexim charge AND racism charge! How about we throw in 9/11 and hit the trifecta?

Or maybe we should just praise Nancy Reagan while we are at it? A lot of you may not remember this, but it was very difficult in those days, and Ronals and Nancy really started the national conversation on... I may have mispoken... well actually that distinction doesn't belong to Nancy Reagan, but I lost people too and if you don't vote for me you are a duped, badly-informed, complacent millennial Hell-bound slut who lusts after Berniebros.

Now onward with the coronation! Pray to Saint Hillary of Walmart, our Blessed Lady of Inevitability, and the affluent fruit of her Labour. The power of Debbie commands you.

[Broward]

9. Pulling out the gender card, pathetic.

[Betty Karlson]

10. It's about character, not genitals!

Are you so biased that you believe all women are incapable of faulty judgement?

As a senator, she voted for the Iraq War Resolution

As Secretary of State, she acted in favour of the Libya disaster, ignoring Obama's direct orders o to confer with Blumenthal, while selling fracking across the globe and promoting TPP ("golden standard&quot , TTIP and the Panama trade deal.

Is that pattern of shortsighted, war and greed promoting judgements not in any way disqualifying?

And while we are on the subject: do you seriously believe that all criticism of Clinton is due to "sexism"? There isn't enough facepalm in the world for that level of cognitive dissonance.

[Kalidurga]

12. When she doesn't lie all the freaking time

When she isn't lying she isn't using weasel words. When she doesn't vote for endless war and start others for business opportunities. When she can be a leader on issues and not just jump on the bandwagon when issues become popular. When she actually fights for people who need a champion and not just for the middle class and the wealthy. When she doesn't vote for laws that will help the wealthy avoid paying taxes. When she turns down speaking gigs from the 1% because it might end up being a conflict of interest. When she doesn't champion fracking world wide.

Or when her name is Elizabeth Warren and she understands the grave danger of banks being able to topple the worlds economy.

[shraby]

13. When she can tell the truth and not say what is convenient to further her aims.

[vintx]

14. When she's Elizabeth Warren

(i.e. when she has sound judgment and the integrity to act on it rather than self interest)

[B2G]

15. Are you proposing she be immune to criticism BECAUSE she's a woman?

Because that's sure what a lot of the posts here sound like.

[Cali_Democrat]

17. I didn't propose anything. I asked a question.

Reading comprehension appears to be an issue here.....

[HERVEPA]

36. No. Stupid writing is the situation here.

[Cali_Democrat]

40. Nope. nt

[HERVEPA]

44. Your post stupidly implied that Hillary being a woman disqualifies her, and you know that's bull.

[whatchamacallit]

18. Question for Card Sharks: At what point does falsely characterizing every statement as sexist

or racist become pathetic?

[angrychair]

38. About 5 minutes after it started nt

[Juicy_Bellows]

43. Yep -

I wish there were only 4 in the deck but they seem to be limitless.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. When she is a citizen and reaches the age of 35. Fit or unfit is another question...

not decided by gender.

[NowSam]

22. Qualifications for President

has nothing to do with gender and it is incorrect to inject such into the discussion of HRC being unqualified or unfit for the office.

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. As soon as she proves herself capable of better judgment than Hillary Clinton

[whatchamacallit]

25. This belongs in here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511673057

[Marr]

28. +1. Wow.

[Cali_Democrat]

30. Can you please provide me an exact quote of Hillary saying Obama isn't qualified to be President?

Thank you in advance.

[Marr]

27. Any man who made as many bad calls as HRC, and was as happy to take bribes as HRC,

would be just as unqualified.

It has nothing to do with her chromosomes.

[Else You Are Mad]

29. When she proves she...

Is the best candidate to be president. This 'she deserves this' BS really hurts her campaign. A candidate has to show, through their consistency in policies and beliefs, that they are worthy of my vote. This is the same criteria that a male candidate has to go through as well to win my vote. She hasn't shown me -- through her policies -- that she is worth my vote.

Elizabeth Warren on the other hand would and has....

[Zen Democrat]

31. When her name is Elizabeth Warren.

[SamKnause]

32. Your post is so ridiculous.

As a 62 year old woman I am sick of sexism being

brought up for every single issue in this campaign.

I don't give a damn about Bernie's anatomy.

I don't give a damn about Hillary's anatomy.

I wouldn't give a damn if it was a hermaphrodite running.

If I like you policies and judgment, I will vote for you.

[seattleite]

34. That clearly makes you a "Bernie Bro" to Hillary and her band of perpetual victims.

[HERVEPA]

35. Stupid stupid stupid post. Has nothing to do with her being a woman. AND YOU KNOW THAT!

[Politicalboi]

37. When they don't constantly lie and have FBI investigations

When they are transparent and show us how they talk about us behind closed doors. When they don't have an ex president going to polls to suppress the vote when things look bad for you. She lies cheats and buys her way to the top.

[hobbit709]

46. I noticed you left some things out.

Integrity, honesty, etc.

[msongs]

47. at the moment he says this, and after voting to confirm her as SOS: “by the way, on her

worst day, Hillary Clinton will be an infinitely better candidate and president than the Republican candidate on his best day,”---Bernie Sanders

[Yurovsky]

49. When they refuse to sell out to Wall Street investment bankers...

so let me type this slow so you can understand...

Elizabeth Warren = Qualified

Hillary Clinton = Unqualified

It has ZERO to do with gender, and everything to do with what they stand for. And I cannot support a candidate aligned with the forces working to destroy me and millions of other working-class and poor Americans.

[AzDar]

50. A woman ( or man) can do ALL the things you've listed, yet if they're CORRUPT LIARS...they aren't

qualified to be POTUS-- it's pretty simple, and has nothing to do with gender.

Which is why this post is insipid... not to mention insulting to those who've dealt /are dealing with sexism.
DISGRACEFUL.

[daleanime]

51. Same point as a man?

Does that mean bad judgement doesn't count if it a woman?

[guillaumeb]

52. An easy one. When that woman receives more votes than the other candidate.

[bkkyosemite]

53. When the woman is as honest as the man!
