Raj you seem addicted to all these opinion pieces don't you ever reach conclusions based in fact?

I guess I was really lucky as the good Lord did give me an abundance of 'those leetle grey cells" as Poirot would put it and the good fortune to have been educated in a school system that taught us to think for ourselves, not what to think - like the system here.

I know who Ponnuru is in more ways than one. I find it better to get dissenting viewpoints whether I agree or not, and besides I find opinion pieces interesting to read. And I read from both sides of the aisle.

At least I am not brainwashed as some here for which I thank the education I have, which is as good as anyone here. Which is why I cannot be sold on the concept that "Hillary is the best qualified candidate for President", one needs to have lost any ability for independent thinking to believe that after one has seen Hillary's resume.

I am a bit confused. What aspects of Hillary's resume demonstrate that she is not highly qualified for the presidency?

Hosting her own email server without authorization. Careless handling of government correspondence through unsecured channels regardless of whether they contained secrets, since this was forbidden as a condition of her employment.

Accepting donations from foreign governments to her family foundation. Not reporting this as agreed is a secondary breach of agreement.

PS: The above accomplishments may not be listed in her resume but it's there under Employment: State Department if one were to look for it.

So sue me.
And yes, it's significant to me since it shows her to be either ignorant, arrogant or both. Hypothetically speaking, you think with this on her resume, she will ever be confirmed for another cabinet position? Or even be given security clearance?

If the people vote her in as President, she gets a security clearance.

I'm a little shocked. Given the way you talk about her, I expect Vince Foster blood on her hands, or holding down Bill's sex women, or something....

D-Ray asked me pointed question about her resume and I listed a couple of violations from her last place of employment which in my opinion disqualifies her. YMMV.

Bah! I see this over and over.

~Hillary is the most dangerous, corrupt, awful person ever to run for President!~

~Just what has she done?~

~She had an email address! People sent her stuff! Also, she tried awfully hard to get the nomination, even if it meant defeating Bernie Sanders!~
