Not the most popular, but the most qualified to become the next President. (opinion)

[Stuart G]

Joe Biden. Hillary Clinton.

1. Sorry, but after the piece of shit we've had in the White House........

most qualified just might not be the best candidate for us. REALLY, ANYONE WHO SEEMS the opposite of “him” might just be the ticket for the Dems. JMHO.

[LuvLoogie]

2. I agree with that.

I think we missed our opportunity, though. Tragic consequences and espionage thwarted us.

[Mike Nelson]

3. True, but...

… people seem to want a newer candidate. I can see Hillary an/or Joe entering and winning if something happens that demands experience... a major political assassination, North Korea launches a nuclear attack, Russia invades a NATO country, another Great Depression, etc... something that illustrates why it's good to have an experienced President.

6. I could see that. FSM help us if any of those things happen.

[Jarqui]

4. Currently, Biden may be the most popular of those who

have declared or might declare. Hillary's favorables are well under water.

Both Biden and Clinton would be the most qualified

5. What are the qualifications to be President

The Presidency is an interesting job - it requires a fairly deep understanding of how complex systems work, but it also requires that a person be inspiring and capable of leading.

I voted for Hillary Clinton on the basis of her competency as an administration. However, for all the questions about the legality of Trump's presidency, Clinton failed on the leadership test. She was never able to control the narrative, and during the campaign she came off as being unable to fend off the attacks against her. Was it an unfair benchmark? Oh, yes, absolutely, but you do not get to be president by playing fairly. You win it by assuming your opponent is going to be a bastard, and you build your whole strategy around that. Clinton underestimated Trump badly, not necessarily his intellect, but his abilities to sell himself. She didn't do the same, and the end it cost her the presidency.

Jury's still out on Biden. I like Joe - he's the kind of guy that reminds you of your favorite uncle - but again, he doesn't inspire. A good president shouldn't necessarily be the best at all things, but he or she should be the kind of person that makes you want to give your best to make a shared vision possible. A good president also knows how to delegate the rest.

8. She didn't "lose". The election was stolen.

I am really tired of seeing the ridiculous narrative that she ran a bad campaign or was a bad candidate.

[peggysue2]

10. Yes, thank you for that, Mrs. Coffee

I too am tired of the false narrative. Trump has been illegitimate since election night. Hillary Clinton's 'loss' was manipulated, the election was stolen and Trump--as well as many in the GOP--are compromised treason-weasels.

7. How about that ticket?

Biden/Hillary 2020.

9. Each one TOO OLD!!!
