Pretty much the same qualification as the people here who bash Hillary: a DU account. DanTex May 2015 #27

Kind of like lecturing Al Gore about why he lost the election? Nye Bevan May 2015 #31

You must not have read my post regarding Al Gore's campaign. ladjf May 2015 #39

There are entire Congressional Districts with more people than Vermont. MohRokTah May 2015 #29

Yes, and Bernie has not had the responsibility of managing large groups lewebley3 May 2015 #35

And Obama was a community organizer.. frylock May 2015 #88

And... so what? Arkansas only has 4. arcane1 May 2015 #91

Arkansas has 5 times the population and is far more diverse. NYC Liberal May 2015 #96

I'm still not seeing much of a point here. arcane1 May 2015 #100

Is having a candidate that has led and represented a diverse constituency a good thing? NYC Liberal May 2015 #120

So yes, only certain states, and certain previous jobs, qualify? arcane1 May 2015 #122

"Qualify"? No. It's not about "qualifying." NYC Liberal May 2015 #155

Did Hillary mention race during her gigs with Goldman Sachs? Were a lot of Blacks attending? Tierra_y_Libertad May 2015 #43

She mentioned it in her campaign...I think that's more important brooklynite May 2015 #45

I have good reason to believe that Bernie would do much the same. Tierra_y_Libertad May 2015 #47

Yes, Hillary knows all about campaigning and is the master of it. hughee99 May 2015 #53

She won because he was a lousy candidate. Bohunk68 May 2015 #163

DeBlasio sounds like he's moving away from HRC, btw. Ken Burch May 2015 #133

Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. It probably depends on his future plans. DanTex May 2015 #135

Why couldn't he have future presidential ambitions AND endorse Bernie? Ken Burch May 2015 #144
