Sanders was right, Hillary is not qualified to be president

If we look at judgement as a central factor to be considered president then no Hillary would not be qualified. She has shown a history of poor judgement. She voted for the Iraq war and while serving as Secretary of State carelessly sent and received sensitive information on her personal email account, which I don't believe is criminal but shows both poor judgement and a disregard for protocol.

I am sorry but Hillary showed poor judgement while holding the extremely important position as Sec of state, and has thus put the Democratic Party in a very vulnerable position of having defend her poor judgement and vouch for her credibility going forward. Not to mention that this whole thing about the "criminality" of the email scandal still remains up in the air.

It feels to me that we are having to settle for Hillary, when we should be putting the best candidate forward.

The lesser of two evils is still evil. The good may not be perfect, but we know it - and we know it is our best option.
