Hillary is the most qualified candidate. Do you agree or disagree with this Rajoo? If you disagree give evidence that supports another candidate is more qualified. If you think she's the most qualified, what's there to discuss other than monotony?

Q.E.D., vote for Hillary, Trump is a monster.
No wonder the youth of America are so disengaged. They can smell a BS line better than mature adults.

WaPo and NYT are not very credible to me anymore, in fact most media is not since one never knows who owns whom. Besides I meant the conversation here instead of a steady trickle of HuffPo and their lack of praise for Trump, as if they would have any objective comments on this subject. For all I know, Priorities USA has an interest in the Huffers.
I can't quite sort this. If I composed a little essay on Hillary, would you trust me more or less than the NY Times?

By what measure I humbly ask, and yes I disagree simply due to lack of fundamental support for her from the electorate.
No excitement, no trust, very little interest in these elections, etc.

Balance is for media that wants everyone for customers. So they push the idea that there are two sides to everything. But sometimes there is no legitimate 'balance.'

EARTH: Round or Flat?

It's you're job to determine what to measure when deciding which candidate is most qualified.

And there's nothing humble in your asking.

Neither, it's a sphere.

Humility personified with that comeback.
And the term I would use is better qualified and not most, since by definition 'most' is not attainable.

Low hanging fruit.

And most is most definitely attainable is this context.

most

determiner & pronoun

determiner: most; pronoun: most

1. superlative of many, much.

2. greatest in amount or degree.
"they've had the most success"
