Voters Question Clinton's Qualifications, Now Rate Trump Equal
Rasmussen ^ | 11 Jul 2016

Posted on 07/11/2016 10:35:37 AM PDT by mandaladon

Most voters have difficulty swallowing President Obama's superlatives for Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail last week and now rate her and Donald Trump equally when it comes to their preparedness for the White House.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that just 22% of Likely U.S. Voters agree with Obama's statement that "there has never ever been any man or woman more qualified for this office than Hillary Clinton." Sixty-five percent (65%) disagree with the president's statement. Thirteen percent (13%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

It's important to note that the question did not identify the person who made the statement. Obama praised Clinton while campaigning with her in North Carolina on the same day that FBI Director James Comey announced his agency would not seek any indictments of the former secretary of State despite her "extremely careless" handling of classified information. Most voters disagree with Comey’s decision.

Not surprisingly, just five percent (5%) of Republicans and 15% of voters not affiliated with either political party agree with the president's high praise of the likely Democratic presidential nominee. But even Democrats aren't convinced: 42% of voters in Clinton's and Obama's party agree with the statement, but 36% do not, with another 21% who are not sure.

When given the choice, 41% of all voters think Clinton is better qualified to be president, but just as many (40%) say that of Trump. A sizable 19% are undecided.

That's a noticeable shift in Trump's favor from April when 50% said Clinton is qualified to be president, but only 27% felt that way about the billionaire businessman.

Forty-one percent (41%) of unaffiliated voters think Trump is more qualified, compared to 31% who feel that way about Clinton, but 28% of these voters are undecided.

The Obama Legacy: brought in Trump and helped get him elected. The rest goes to the ash-heap of history soon to be forgotten - only that he was the worst president in American history by far.

If Hillary is too f@cking stupid to understand classification markings, portion markings, or how to use more than one email account on a smart phone then she certainly isn’t f@cking qualified to run anything in this country. Hell, she can’t even get up a flight of stairs without some dweeb holding her elbow for cripes sake.

Feeble old decrepit blind, unbalanced b!tch. Deal with it Team Hillary.

“Ring... Ring... Ring...

It's 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep.

But there's a phone in the White House...

and it's ringing.

Something is happening in the world.

Your vote will decide who answers that call.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

It's 3 a.m., and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone?”

FBI endorsed as

"Extremely Careless"

and

"Not Particularly Sophisticated"

This needs to be brought out to the independent voters, who don't want cops being killed.

Has the Clinton foundation funded these cop killers?

Bill Clinton met with Mauricelm-Lei Millere is leader of the African American Defense League (AADL), which has repeatedly advocated violence against police in May of this year.

Bill Clinton and Mauricelm-Lei Millere in May.

During a campaign visit to Kentucky this year former President Bill Clinton met with the leader of a racial hate group that has been implicated in Thursday’s attack that killed five Dallas police officers.

Mauricelm-Lei Millere is leader of the African American Defense League (AADL), which has repeatedly advocated violence against police.

Dallas gunman Micah Xavier Johnson supported the AADL on Facebook, where Millere’s group posted messages that declared “ATTACK EVERYTHING IN BLUE EXCEPT THE MAIL MAN” and “sprinkle Pigs Blood” prior to Thursday’s attack. On his Instagram page, Millere wrote: “We have no alternative! We must kill white police officers across the country!”

“Trump Equal”.........Horsepuckie” Trump has been ahead all along but the media continues to push the demodummie agenda and only report things about their “queen”, ole “barge bottom”. How many article do we now see about Trump? NADA! Thanks to all the liberal media whores. Notice what Trump says everytime he has a rally about the dishonest media? I rest my case.

ACADEMY-AWARD WORTHY---Obama puts on a convincing act.
He "knows nothing." Obama didn't even know about this (snix).

PIC Circa 2010--Ex-Pres Clinton in Moscow having a laugh w/ Putin
as strategic US uranium deposits were sold off to Russia for Big Bucks
facilitated by Secy Clinton, as Bill globe-trotted to set up the deal.

"Hahahaha. US ntl security? Hahahaha. You gotta be kidding, Vlad."

====================================================

With all the top-level intel available to him, can Americans actually believe:

<><>Obama was oblivious to the Clintons jerking around US foreign policy?

<><> Obama knew nothing of Hillary and Sid Blumenthal's emails WRT Iran (the man Obama banned from US govt employment)?

<><> Obama knew nothing about the Clinton Foundation/slush fund buck-raking activities?

<><> Obama never noticed Bill Clinton trotting around the globe?

<><> Obama never noticed the Clinton "charity" used to worm his way into the confidences of foreign leaders.... but only those leaders w/ untapped reserves of gold, uranium, oil, and other valuable commodities?

<><> Obama never knew Hillary's brother got a gold-mining permit in Haiti?

Hand-picked by Obama to run State, Hillary ran it like a shadow govt.... w/ her husband taking notes WRT buck-raking opportunities available from Hillary's actions OR inaction.

Secy Hillary never e-v-e-r uttered a discouraging word e-v-e-r......as the Clinton Foundation sucked up hundred of millions of foreign dollars from shady characters.

OF COURSE, the Clintons selling access to State Dept decisions and passing on classified information to interested parties for a foundation donation.......NEVER, EVER interfered w/ Obama/s OWN foreign policy initiatives (cue laugh machine).

===============================================

PULITZER PRIZE ANYBODY?---an enterprising reporter (1) matches-up foreign policy decisions at Hillary's State Dept, (2) the timing of donations to the Clinton Foundation....and, (3) related foreign policy decisions by Obama.

He despises her and her husband but Obama's flacking Hillary hard.

The Clintons must be holding out details on the get-rich-quick plans that made them billionaires.

Looks like the stupid Obamas can't figure it out for themselves.

Clinton’s qualifications are perfect in any potential pol.

She’s a congenital liar, a coward, a thief, a PC enabler, and an utter incompetent.

In other words, she’s just like obama.
