    Didnt she get her law degree from Yale? Didnt know a Yale law graduate needs so much help to jump start their career. Didnt know that a Yale law degree was so useless.

    I think it's safe to say that Bush's family name had a lot more help in the admissioms process than what ever weight the Rodham family name carries.

    I thought that was obvious enough for you to avoid stating as a counter point?

    I think it's obvious to assume that Hillary's acceptance to Yale was purely on academic merit while Bush's was through family lineage(Bush Sr is a alumn of Yale).

    You just want your posts to get shredded. I can't think of any reason you would even bother to make the comparison. Wow.

    You should be ashamed for putting so little thought into this post. I don't even like Hillary, but damn this is just dumbass logic.

    As an undergrad? Interesting

    Just curious- could undergrads get MBAs at DeVry? Or is a BA in history what you called anot MBA there?

    You are aware her political career began in 2000, right? What was her surname then?

    Were you really trying to bring up Dubya's 2.0 GPA that was bought to Hillary who has a genius level IQ? Go sit down somewhere

    How do political careers usually begin for most politicians?

    A lofty law degree from a prestigious school? Check
    Work in very prominent cases? Check
    Heavy involvement in community services(Sure you can say it was for selfish aspirations)? Check

    What makes her experience sub-par compared to ANY OTHER previous presidential candidate's beginnings in political offices? I would absolutely love you to try to elaborate.

    And stop moving the goal post.

    I think only a handfull of presidents have ever had law degrees. Heck, Jimmy Carter wasn't an attorney - he was a Naval nuclear engineer turned agricultural company executive.

    Stop beating around the bush. Stick with your initial assertion. So why does a Yale lawyer who has a resume of prominent cases and community service(again, this isn't an argument of her intent. Yes, it very well might have been for selfish reasons) needed to go down on her knees to start her career as a politician when hundreds of US politicians went through pretty much the exact same route as males and didn't have to sleep their way into starting their political careers?

    She began her political career through the merit of her Yale education+ law practice + community service. She began her presidential aspirations through the merits of her holding the office of Secretary of State and a U.S Senator. She is as experienced as any other former presidential candidate and infinitely more experienced than The Donald.

    25 out of 44 presidents practiced law (prior to the late 1800s, most became lawyers via apprenticeships after earning an undergraduate degree).

    A majority of Senators and over a third of Congressmen are lawyers too.

    What point are you even trying to make here?

    If you aren't a progressive leftist there is no room for you in the DNC. The right has a much wider tent.
