Hillary Clinton is player. She was at the center of Whitewater along with her husband Bill Clinton who was impeached for lying under oath while being questioned about a sex scandal. I agree that Harris is a patsy but a patsy funded by Laurene Powell Jobs who is friends with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

I welcome a qualified female US president as long as she has the public's best interested at heart. At this rate that woman is probably going to be a Republican. And when the current brand of Democrat groans about it that will tell you what their game is all about.

And again "identity politics" originally meant voting based on your core values not political party rhetoric but then Cambridge Analytica got shut down and it became intersectionality.

If the elections were about being qualified, Trump would have needed to spend 4 years being a senator plus 4 as state Attorney General to reach parity with Haris (in addition to the 4 as VP which he can pair with being president), or 8 as senator plus 4 as secretary of state to reach parity with Clinton.

What he had in 2016 was a string of bankruptcies and a TV show and no political qualifications; what he had in 2024 was as much political experience as Haris had gained since he lost, plus 34 felony convictions for… lying about a sex scandal in his business records, plus two impeachments for something rather more serious than lying under oath about a sex scandal, and that's not even counting the unlawful document retention charges that had to be dropped because sitting presidents can't be charged (or is it tried?) unless impeached (again).

The qualifications he met were the legal minimum: old enough, born in US.

    I’ve never voted for a president, I’ve only voted in the primaries for Ralph Nader and Bernie Sanders. And so far Trump is cleaning house. Watching him trounce the governor of Maine was funny af.
