Unfortunately, the comically unqualified candidate is up against an embarrassing demonstration of what exactly "qualifies" someone to be President in the US these days. Which mostly seems to involve support from Fortune 100 CEOs, involvement in ill-conceived military interventions abroad, and sounding exactly like a Republican whilst running on a Democrat ticket. Oh, and lots of friends in the press. Not to mention the kind of connections and sharp political skills that let her blatantly race-bait against Obama in '08, publicly accuse people who pointed this out of being the real racists, wrangle the Senator of State position out of him afterwards, and then pretend the whole thing never happened.
There is no doubt that Hillary Clinton is eminently skilled and effective at being a politician. That's the problem.
