The first qualified person to run for a first-term since Eisenhower

[Dr. Zaus]

I'm proud to have voted for the first qualified person to run for a first-term since Eisenhower.

The fact that this sentence alone tells you unequivocally who I must have voted for should tell us all we need to know about this election.

 

[PokerGuy]

Yes, it means you voted for someone other than the dem and gop candidates. Good for you!

 

[Moonbeam]

This shows us that what something should say often doesn't when there is bias that is preferred over facts.

BAFFLED! I thought Bernie exited the race?

So you wrote in Weld? Or the new great white hope of the Not Trump crowd (the Utah guy).

 

[rudder]

If you did not vote for Hillary you are sexist!!!!

 

[Zorba]

Okay, I'm stumped. There have been many very qualified people run for president since Eisenhower. Especially as compared to either of these candidates on a pure resume comparison.

Hey, how can you possibly discount the wealth of huge achievements and accomplishments on illary's resume. I mean, she was married to Bill. And she leveraged that into a career in politics and corruption and managed to make herself wealthy. Those are major accomplishments, she's clearly well qualified

 

[Thump553]

OP's post totally stumps me. Limiting the choices to just the Dem or GOP official nominees, he is effectively saying none of the below were qualified to be President:
-Adali Stevenson (I personally wish for someone nearly as great today)
- Nixon-VP
-JFK-senator
-LBJ (I'll give an asterisk on this because he was an unelected sitting President at the time)
-Barry Goldwater-extremist but qualified
-Hubert Humphrey (see my comment about Stevenson above)
-George McGovern
-Gerald Ford (another asterisk, same reason as LBJ)
-Jimmy Carter-ex -governor, nuclear sub captain, very successful businessman-probably the most qualified candidate that did the worst job as President
-Saint Ronnie Reagan-governor of CA
Mike Dukakis-former governor
Walter Mondale-former VP
George HW Bush-rivals Carter for best qualifications IMO
Bob Dole-one of the lions of the Senate
GWB-TX governor, royal blood
John Kerry-again a major senator
McCain-ditto
Romney-governor

Near as I can tell there has only been one major party candidate in that time where the nearly universal consensus among thinking people is that he is unqualified, ethically, emotionally and in nearly every other regard in that time period and we all know who that it. So OP tells us he didn't vote for Trump, apparently.

I never said she wasn't qualified. But on a pure resume, at a minimum Nixon, H.W. Bush, Gore, Dole and McCain, LBJ, Kerry would all come out ahead.

LOLMAO...it's you guys who think that "being wealthy" is now the perfect criteria for becoming prez.
And hey, at least SHE HAS a career in politics. Your bozo, what "career" did he have? Oh wait, scamming small biz for personal enrichment! What an amazing "accomplishment"...along with his....4000 lawsuits. Cheezus Christ.

You forgot that she served as the Senator from the state of NY.

 

[Moonbeam]

You forgot that she served as the Senator from the state of NY.

I was quoting, not remembering. Having some fun. I do have a bit of trouble, however, with 'the first qualified', but' most qualified' makes sense. My hope now is that if she wins and is freed from the straight jacket that requires a move to the center, she will rocket off to the progressive left. Not holding my breath but hopeful only.

The fact that this sentence alone tells you unequivocally who I must have voted for should tell us all we need to know about this election.

There is no one on the current political field that can hold a candle to Eisenhower.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Eisenhower was the most unqualified President of the 20th century, and an absolute failure. His only experience was military, and his actions there led to many incredible disasters: allowing the USSR to become a superpower, destroying stability in the Middle East to sell out to the UK's oil interests and Israel, propping up a Christian despot in Vietnam, bringing tensions between us and the USSR to all-time highs, and finally creating the military-industrial complex and only warning anyone as the door hit him on the way out. He relegated domestic policy to his VP more than most other Presidents in history so you can't give him much credit there either. "Muh interstate highways", as if the very concept never would have existed without Eisenhower.

Trump is even less qualified, so I can't wait to see what that piece of shit brings.

 

[MongGrel]

If you did not vote for Hillary you are sexist!!!!

You fail a lot on a regular basis.

But that is just my opinion.

well

He is qualified more qualified than the major party candidates in terms of ethics but also a fictional character....

so what are you really saying?
