When the hell was she ever governor of anywhere?
2001-2009, of New York
Sanders, not a governor that I can tell.  Senator of Vermont, not governor...

Shit, he was a governor too?  My bad.  I tried to search his history and failed, I guess.  Clinton was Governor of New York, of course.

Was she? I know she was senator..... *checks wiki*

@Redking
She was married to the leader of the free world.  She was even activist in that role of first lady, if unsuccessful.  I think that counts as useful experience, which Senator Sanders doesn't have.
Is it as relevant as her experience as governor?  Debatable, but she has *both* and he has neither.
When the hell was she ever governor of anywhere? She was MARRIED to a governor. Which is not the same as being governor. I really shouldn't have to explain that.
Jesus Christ, people, I've said it before -- Hillary is not Bill in a pantsuit. They are two separate people, and frankly she doesn't have the political moxie that Bill did/does.

What he said. and yes, she was never governor of anywhere.

I'm like 90% sure neither of htem were ever governors.

Doops, yeah you're right. Sanders was a vermont representative, and later senator.

She was never governor. Where is this confusion over governor coming from?

Actually, that would have been George Pataki (1995-2006) and Eliot Spitzer (2007-2008).

Come on man....please tell me you just got into some really dank kush. Cause I know you're smarter than this. Google "Governors of New York" and tell me what you find.

On an unrelated note, FBI agents no longer need 'national security' as a reason to search NSA databases for information on American citizens. Local police forces have access to this information by proxy. I guess the 4th amendment had a good run...

Frankly, all of that is irrelevant bullshit anyway. I enjoy how we all spend our times in between electoral cycles complaining about how politicians are all devious realpolitik lobbyist-brainwashed jackasses who more or less use the incumbent effect and gerrymandering to cheat at being re-elected, and then all of a sudden come election time it's all "we need job creation", "PACs are a necessary component of the electoral cycle", and "what about their EXPERIENCE".

What does it matter? It is not as if being governor is actually like being mini-president or as if any amount of experience beyond having had a particular position really makes a candidate qualified. What even are presidential qualifications? Do you know? Does anybody? Being President is a position like no other, and every President inherently possesses radical authority over the internal elements of their administration anyway. It's a wash, and one very intentionally perpetuated in order to make elections as a whole more predictable and routine for politicians, by politicians.

If anything, I'm glad Bernie doesn't have that experience. That someone as skilled and intelligent as him never over 20 years went to dominating at least the state where he is nearly-universally loved and has a body of constituents in-line with his beliefs says that he really does have the principle of character otherwise sorely lacking among our leaders.

I'll take it. That character is more important than literally anything else. You want to not be ruled by nothing but bland neoliberal lawyers for the rest of your lives? Then step the fuck up and accept that you might have to elect one, and with that accept the risk that it might not work out. Societies change, even down to their most basic natures, and this change is one that needs to happen.

Rafael "Ted" "Zodiac Killer" Cruz.  Trump doesn't strike me as the type to actually give a shit about religion, and I don't know much about Rubio's stance, though his recent transformation into a living cadaver seems pretty Satanic to me.
