106. No one said she wasn't qualified to run

Thu Apr 7, 2016, 09:12 AM

Apr 2016

She's not qualified to be President IF. is what was said. It has nothing to do with the fact she is female. So cut the man hating woman's club bullshit. And no, this mornings meme is not going to turn Democratic women against Sanders.

Either Hillary is a victim or she is tough. You folks need to decide because no one wants an eternal victim to run their country.
