    I don’t think your examples work. Hillary Clinton was also previously a Senator and Secretary of State, so she had experience in national politics. Joe Biden was Vice President and a Senator so he also had decades of experience.

      Yeah. She was senator in NY…

      A state she never lived in, and is rife with political corruption at the state level. A seat that was always going to go blue, but didn’t even have a primary?

      NY state Dems are basically republicans.

      And the SoS was an appointment.

      Hillary won exactly one election in her life, and it was handed to her on a golden platter.

      Joe Biden was Vice President and a Senator so he also had decades of experience.

      Remember when that experience meant he could get republicans to support dem.policy?

      That was the 2020 primary. And by January 2021 he was telling us it would be crazy to expect him to change a Dem senators mind so he wouldn’t try.

      Sooo much experience he’s been trying to win the nomination for checks notes 32 years?

      And the only reason he got it was about 5 candidates all dropped out less than 24 hours before Super Tuesday? After they’d spend millions on ads for Super Tuesday?

      Oh yeah…

      Such great candidates. /S

        You should fact check better, she was elected in 2000, and reelected for a second term in 2006.
