Here's what he said about being "qualified"
Crossposted: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/04/07/1512105/-Here-s-what-he-said-ab...
Senator Sanders has in no way said that Secretary Clinton’s experience and service are insufficient.
What he argues is that Senator Clinton has disqualified herself to represent the interests of everyday Americans from the highest office in the land through her choices and actions.
“I don’t believe that she is qualified if she is through her super PAC taking tens of millions of dollars in special-interest funds.
“I don’t think that you are qualified if you get $15 million from Wall Street through your super PAC.
“I don’t think you are qualified if you voted for the disastrous war in Iraq.
“I don’t think you’re qualified if you supported almost every disastrous trade agreement.
“I don’t think you are qualified if you supported the Panama free trade agreement, something I very strongly opposed, which has gave the green light to wealthy people and corporations all over the world to avoid paying taxes owed to their countries.”
Highlighting is mine.
YMMV

She is uniquely qualified, but not in a good way

thx MsGrin, went over and gave you a rec.
I'm skating on thin ice over there probably because I go at least once a day to rec the Bernie diaries.
Bob Johnson has a funny one up about Kos being at war with his own web site.
Seems surreal but gave me a chuckle.

We don't need Cruel People running our country.
Clinton is Cruel.
She's Rude, Condescending, Cruel, and Entitled. Even ONE of these is serious grounds for concern.
All of them is just asking for trouble in the long run.
No THANK you.
I do not pretend I know what I do not know.
She's also a bully.
I've read more than a few stories of people from various organizations she's dealt with describe her as a bully (most with a few other adjectives thrown in - but ALWAYS bully).
We don't need cruel or bullying in the White House.

According to the metrics by which the Clinton Campaign...
...is claiming that Secretary Clinton is The Most Qualified Candidate for President In Human History, Dick Cheney would be far more qualified. The bottom line should be that judgement is just as important as resume, and Secretary Clinton has a history littered with seriously bad judgement calls...
I want my two dollars!
Amen
Bad judgment calls seem to be her forte, but what can we expect when Big Corp. Is really the ones calling the shots.
Bernie wants to raise the bar
Bernie wants to raise the bar on qualifications. Unless you are willing to represent the people and act in the best interest of the country, you are not qualified to be the President of the United States. That would be the "faithfully execute the Office" part of the oath of office.

has disqualified herself with me a long time ago, mostly due to her war mongering. And I believe she is the most hawkish of all the candidates of either party.

POTUS Resume
If such a thing exists. The Bernster is so qualified, it's beyond ridiculous. Started as a first generation American, born in Brooklyn. Went to the University of Chicago where he got a serious education. That was where he cut his protest chops. Migrated to Vermont cos he inherited some coin from his parents. Did the hippie commune trip. Quit it.
Went to Burlington and got involved (again) in politics. Eventually was elected Mayor and re-elected several times. Ran for governor, lost that one. He then ran for the US House seat in his district. Elected and re-elected every time he ran. The bribed other side couldn't pull their crap cos of the heavy voter turnout.
He ran for Senate. Beat his opponent. He ran for re-election and won by over 70% of the popular vote.
Bernie has
1- served as mayor;
2-served as a US House Representative;
3-serving as a US Senator (won re-election by a blowout). Check out the facts cos they're posted.
Shrill doesn't get it. Howard Dean sure does, and has warned the Turd Party not to "underestimate" the Bernster.
Barack Obama wasn't qualified to run for POTUS. The Bernster was in 2008.
Facts speak for themselves.

The WaPo accidentally fact-checked itself
The term "Clintonian" was invented to describe the kind of thing Hillary pulled off on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" yesterday. Without speaking the words "Bernie is not qualified to be President" she generated the headline that says it.
I'm interested in what Bernie will say tomorrow on "Morning Joe." Stay tuned.
"We've done the impossible, and that makes us mighty."
Yeah, she is qualified in all
Yeah, she is qualified in all the wrong ways!
So long, and thanks for all the fish
This big flap
over a word has certainly helped take the focus off the issues in the ongoing FBI investigation, hasn't it?
