(27,813 posts)She would have made a kick-ass president. It's to our shame that people in this country couldn't see it and went for a reality TV star instead. I've had it with worrying about what other people deem charismatic as far as picking candidates. I find intelligence, passion, competence, and experience to be quite charismatic. People like Trump and GW Bush just flat out turn me off. I don't know how people can even listen to their voices.
One thing I am so sick of that I could scream is the concept of disruption. Yes, let's play that game and disrupt people out of jobs, livelihood, security, healthcare, and now personal safety because some people want their candidate to be a TV star!
I don't know when we began to denigrate experience as a job qualification.
