Where do you feel Clinton did such a thing? Presented her qualifications as a good-in-itself? Rather than as a grounds to vote for her over the idiot who had no qualifications?What I object to is the elevation of qualifications and expertise into good-in-itself, as a sort of substitute for politics.
How does one run a presidential campaign under your paradigm? Where qualifications = elitism = non-representation? How does the candidate make his or her pitch to be president?
I'm trying to get at what part of Hillary's campaign nauseated you. Her "deplorables" comment sent that message, I guess, maybe, and I faulted her as much for that as anyone here.
But I just don't know how one runs for president in a world where "qualifications" are held to be a negative.
