Do I feel she is the best option for the direction our country deserves?

Emphatically, no.

I also think the latter outweighs the former, largely because I consider one of her biggest resume items, her stint as SecState, to be a negative, not a positive. I thought she was poor in the role. Moreover, I find her dishonest, inconsistent, and prone to gaffes under pressure. If elected, I have little doubt she'll be a poor president, at least in terms of bettering things for ordinary Americans.

Harsh, I realize, but the question deserved an honest answer.

That happens after so many people die for no good reason based on decisions she made.

Positions. Kasich is qualified. Romney was qualified. McCain was qualified. Qualified isnt the criteria I use. I want my candidate to be qualified and also have good judgement, support the policy positions I support and be a visionary and motivator as well.

she seems to like the rockstar lifestyle, regardless of who has to bleed for her to get paid.

She should never step foot near the Oval Office. Too many people will be fooled into thinking she actually cares about anyone but the ultra-rich, and might actually raise a finger to put the Wall Street fuck sticks behind bars where they belong.

She's fully qualified to keep the 1% rich and getting richer, but that's about it.

That said, Go Bernie! I am thinking we need someone who is not so entrenched.
