Disqualified, Si; Unqualified, No

There has been a lot of talk about whether Hillary Clinton is qualified to be president. Apparently Bernie Sanders said she was not, and then walked the comment back, avering she is qualified.

I believe people are missing the point. As a multi-term senator representing a large and wealthy state and former SecState she was pre-qualified - no question about it.

Without knowing his mind, I suspect what Bernie meant to say was that, by her behavior in several arenas, she has disqualified herself. Clinton has acted in ways such that she is no longer qualified, although she once seemed so. In fact she is demonstrably a pawn of Wall Street, a peddler of influence and probably an indictable felon, as well.
