(47,803 posts)Just to use myself as an example.
I create and produce something for a living. I am really good at it. I don't mean to sound immodest, but all of the feedback and results do indicate that I have a talent and skill for what I do.
But I would be lousy at managing what I do. I produce something. That's what I am good at. But if I were to take a step up the ladder and try to be a manger of it, I'd fail miserably, because that is not my skill set.
So I have my "place" and I recognize that. It has nothing to do with my gender, age, color or anything other than my natural talents and limitations.
I happen to think -- and yeah it is my opinion -- that Clinton has great gifts that could have made her a formidable leader in the Senate. If she had stayed with that, she could have ultimately been the equivalent of a Ted Kennedy
....But for a variety of reasons, I do not believe she has the qualities necessary to be an effective president or driver of the Democratic Party. That is true of most politicians, male and female.
I don't care if you agree or disagree with my opinion on that. But don't misrepresent it.
