That is her answer to being qualified. Bernie Sanders is correct in wanting to move on. He needs to dialogue about the actual and real problems. There is plenty there.

New York — After a week (click here) in which the two Democratic presidential candidates questioned each other’s preparations and qualifications, Bernie Sanders on Sunday took aim at Hillary Clinton’s judgment, saying “something is clearly lacking.”
During talk show appearances, the senator from Vermont continued to zero in on Clinton’s acceptance of special-interest money, her support for the Iraq War and her past backing of international trade agreements.
“In many respects, she may have the experience to be president of the United States,” Sanders said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “No one can argue that. But in terms of her judgement, something is clearly lacking.”...
Food stamps are being cut to the working poor that will insure their further failure to move above poverty. They can't get their footing without being pulled backward into poverty all over again.
The big issue with social programs is, do we want to provide a path out of poverty or do government programs want to use the poor as a political weapon. Food stamps can be a consistent support to people as they look for work and seek higher wages so they are no longer a dependent at all. Or the removal of social supports takes Americans and their families to a level that will only provide stagnation.
While this program seems fairly innocent, is it really? These are policy issues that have to be answered in a real way with facts and figures and statements of the people receiving these benefits themselves in Congressional oversight. It is called public involvement and testimony.
With lack of policy, this is nothing more than a political hot topic whereby the recipients CONTINUE to be called lazy and a social parasite.
One point of view is that the USA is breeding it's own dependency problems while the other view is that the USA economy is failing the people by not demanding a living wage. It is definitely a topic that needs to be at the center of the national elections agenda.
We want the end of the working poor and high impoverishment of children.

...Critics say the 20-year-old mandate (click here) is outdated in the new economy, in which steady manufacturing jobs are harder to come by and employers are imposing erratic schedules on low-wage workers. Falling unemployment rates can mask the reality for the working poor who cycle in and out of unemployment, critics say, with the fluctuating hours and irregular paychecks. "We've seen a long-term trend toward more precarious job conditions for low-skilled workers," said Shawn Fremstad, a lawyer at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. "Even if you get a job, you're not guaranteed more than 20 hours a week."....
The national debate isn't just about fear mongering through obsession over ISIS, Russia, Syria and Iran.
The national media is completely prepared to drag the country into the fear of 911 all over again. Don't let them do it. We need to address the country's need for infrastructure and conquering the ever increasing danger of becoming poor.
If the USA cannot bring their people out of poverty in a profound way that realizes an increasing middle class with real increase in quality of life then why expect allies or otherwise to be able to accomplish improved quality of life.
That improved quality of life should be at the center of international dialogue. We need to go there, our planet and our health demands it. Earth is the premium this year with issues of squalor and a planet quickly becoming a place where life is more challenged than reasonable answers.
Broad scale war is out of the question. The END OF WAR is the international agenda. Nuclear arms does not insure the lives of people! How did we ever get here and how is the USA prepared to lead the world to less and less nuclear threat!
When it comes to good quality of life, how many visas that take American jobs is sincerely important. We can educate Americans beyond imagination, but, if companies are allowed to hire cheap labor through visa preference, it won't do Americans a darn bit of good.

Even after Leo Perrero (click here) was laid off a year ago from his technology job at Walt Disney World
in Orlando, Fla. — and spent his final months there training a
temporary immigrant from India to do his work — he still hoped to find a
new position in the vast entertainment company.
But Mr. Perrero discovered that despite his high performance ratings, he and most of the other 250 tech workers Disney dismissed would not be rehired for at least a year, and probably never.
Now he and Dena Moore, another American laid off by Disney at that time, have filed lawsuits in federal court in Tampa, Fla., against Disney and two global consulting companies, HCL and Cognizant,
which brought in foreign workers who replaced them. They claim the
companies colluded to break the law by using temporary H-1B visas to
bring in immigrant workers, knowing that Americans would be displaced....
Hm. Disney? I wasn't all that impressed with the new "Star Wars."
