You have no proof that she couldn't have acheived those accolades on her own but it still does not take away from the fact they are jobs she preformed. We might aswell disqualify Trump purley for being born Rich.
The guy who went after Patraeus does not think she is guilty of any crime. I agree with him and think it is regrettable. Any of the emails that the FBI has decided were classified were not marked to be at the time. This whole witch hunt started to see if she hid Benghazi related emails, and now its about what was and wasnt clasified. If emails show up that prove she lied under oath during the benghazi committee she is done but until then its all just speculation. Lets please deal with what we know as fact for right now.
but further more this is an argument on what we find important in a Presidential candidate. I don't trust most politicians, I care more about how capable I think they are. Hillary is not charismatic but she proven that she is tough. She gives boring but good thoughtful answers about how to move our country forward. I embrace returning to many of the policies that existed under Clinton. I do not want to see Obama care dismantled. I believe the minimum wage needs to be raised. I think LGBTQ community should be added to the civil rights act. I think Bernie Sanders is to much of an idealist to play ball with republicans.
I am not a huge Hillary fan, I am just not seeing a better alternative.

She couldn't pass the bar exam in Washington DC, and indication that she isn't quite as brilliant as you would lead everyone to believe. She would not have been a lawyer in Washington DC. Without being a lawyer in DC, she probably wouldn't have had much of a political career. She passed her bar exam in Arkansas (but only moved to Arkansas because of Bill Clinton, the eventual Governor and President of the United States). Proof enough?
Again -- you have no idea that she could have achieved those accolades without that leg up either. Which is precisely the point. Judging by the amount of smart , qualified women that have followed in her footsteps and came before her that never reached that level -- I have a very, very hard time believing that without the leg up she's received that she would have achieved what she has. And quite frequently, people will dismiss Trump because of his families wealth. As a matter of fact, that's one of the constant attacks that's used against him to diminish his 4 billion dollar + net wealth. Despite the fact that he's essentially at a minimum increased it near 10-fold.
So essentially -- You think 90s Clinton-esque economic prosperity would magically follow Hilary (Ignoring the Internet boom and subsequent crash near the end of the Clinton economy. in addition to the passage of NAFTA which has hurt this country immensely) and you care about a bunch of social issues that are questionably important/necessary and very clearly you're a baseline democratic voter. Got it. We're not going to come to terms on anything.
Economic prosperity will be the driving factor in turning this country better or worse and it's pretty much that simple. Economic prosperity needs to return if we're ever going to get back on that pedastal of success. Voting in the same old silver tongued politicians who have no experience in anything in regard to that is akin to failure.
Continuation of Obama/Clinton economic policy means more slowed growth in this country, look no further than the latest GDP numbers which are some of the slowest recovery rates in nearly a century.
