Hillary's Accomplishments and Supporters
I would think even some Democrats would find this Truth Revolt article amusing. A focus group of ten Hillary supporters is asked for a list of her accomplishments. They come up blank. Yet they're still strong in support of her.
"These Democrats were more than willing to stand behind a candidate they know little or nothing about. Their awkward silence when trying to conjure up a single political accomplishment of their preferred candidate speaks volumes."
Ok. Maybe hard core Democrats won't find that amusing and, truth be told, the same thing could be said about many Republicans as well.

as well as your main man Gary Johnson
Gary did a lot for New Mexico. He's also been fighting hard to make the presidential debates well rounded again. He fights for Liberty. He's also quirky in some areas, meaning, he's more transparent actually. He's not 100% perfect! but he's 100% more qualified than Hilary!
Your are looking at this backward.
Hillary has been extremely accomplished and highly effectual in her roles - some paid, some not.
There is no question outside right wing partisans about if Hillary can be an effective leader.
Why you are getting this backward is this is about identity - and that is OK. For 200 plus years we've been lead by males. There is no reason this had to be true except men have set up some pretty sweet rules to insure they are the ones large and in charge.
You are getting this backward b/c it's not about Hillary's supporters, it's not about Hillary, it is about the electorate and having half of it finally get one of their own.
Yes, a Presidential candidate needs to be qualified to be one and Hilary more than meets that threshold. Yes, there will be disagreements, but to check their credibility first ask them what they thought about Bill or Barack as Presidents.
Or Jimmy for that matter.
Gary Johnson has accomplished very little, which is why, when this was pointed out, Anon gave no specifics. Oh, he's done "a lot"? Please, give us a bullet point list of the lots of things he has accomplished.
Pot. Kettle. Black. Except, Hillary has actually been doing things, even if every supporter can't cite them.
liberal man on bike, you still didn't name one......
Gary Johnson was a Republican elected twice in a predominantly Democratic state and dubbed by one journalist back then, "The most popular governor in the country". He vetoed more legislation than all other governors in the country combined.
Here you go anon. This isn't difficult, but conservatives do have the difficult task of coming up with accomplishments while ignoring accomplishments of people whose policies they don't care for.
Here is a test, talley up Mitt Romneys accomplishments then subtract those that would not have happened if he was born in Baltimore, African American and working class.

She graduated from Yale Law School. She was counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee. She was a prominent partner of a large Arkansas Law Firm. She was on the Board of Directors of the Kegal Services Corp. She was elected to the U.S. Senate. While in the Senate she was instrumental in obtaining $21B funding for development at the former World Trade Center site. She became the Secretary of State and formulated response to the Arab Spring and advocated for military action without troops in Libya. She pushed for greater recognition for women's rights in Afghanistan. BTW, this whole debate is a little bit of a joke. Ronald Reagan was an actor and the Governor of CA. Rand Paul and Ted Cruz? They have very little actual accomplishments. What were Jack Kennedy's accomplishments? Here is the reality if you are 35, and are a natural born citizen of the US, you qualify to be President.
"She became the Secretary of State and formulated response to the Arab Spring and advocated for military action without troops in Libya"
Which has proven to be a disaster.
List the accomplishments of another, in a crowded field of Machiavellian politicians?,,,but, I digress.
