There REALLY is no need for this Withano. It is one of the traits on TIBB which really pisses me off;

Someone denigrates one's intellect and knowledge, or questions one's qualifications to express a certain viewpoint - either directly or by allusion - and when they receive a response which states the qualifications, or which details just why one is intelligent and knowledgeable, they are then met with yet more insult, and accusations of boasting and having huge egos.

It has happened to me numerous times, but what other way is there of responding than to list the qualities and qualifications which rebut the original slights?

Reread it, cos I done the opposite.

...(looking at them both at face value without them actually doing the job obviously...)....I would say no, neither of them could be 'great'..I think this is more about least damaging with such candidates...with the rise of Trumpism, it seems to be largely to do with 'change' brought on and felt because of frustrations/fears/general unsettlement felt by people...Trump is seen as the person who will bring about change../the breaking off from 'establishment' and the breaking free....but how is taking people back decades in his stance on females and how he regards them, 'change'...how is closing a country down with walls, 'change'...building walls and moats around castles is a bit old hat and back in the day....change means progression and he represents the very opposite to progression but rather, representing regression...is that the 'new world'..?...I don't think that Hilary can be great because she's the very opposite and the establishment that a change is needed from...I personally feel that she's too self serving in her own career to bring about anything 'great'...but I do think she'll be less damaging so may be an ok President until the USA actually have real candidates for for purpose etc...and drive and ambition can achieve as well in progression because 'serving the people', serves her own purpose as well...
