Clinton has the track record I would want.... she was active in the civil rights movement, worked on children's issues & legal advocacy to oppose re-segregation of public schools.   Was a successful attorney.   As First Lady, she headed up the first large scale attempt to reform the US health system... years later, these ideas continued to be discussed and became the Affordable Care Act.   As a Senator, she pushed for compensation & additional health care protections for 9/11 responders.   As Secretary of State, she became well schooled in the details of complex global issues and international relations....  She is knowledgeable about world affairs in a way that Trump is not.   She is experienced with the complexity of making large scale decisions in a really diverse country like ours.  

Trump is a better real estate salesman and TV star than she is, but ....he is a mile wide & an inch deep.    

I do not understand support for him in light of his past reputation.....or how local people could go from scoffing at this New York Dandy who was despised for being arrogant & spoiled back then... to electing him President mainly because they admire his how rich he is and think this will make him a great leader of the free world.   

He has absolutely no experience that would qualify him for the job he is wanting.   IMO, his lack of experience makes him dangerous, like handing your drunken uncle a loaded gun or giving a child permission to play with matches and gasoline.
