Statecraft

Is Hillary Clinton really the most qualified candidate ever? An investigation.

President Barack Obama didn’t hesitate to use a little hyperbole in making the case for Hillary Clinton during the convention: "There has never been a man or a woman, not me, not Bill, nobody more qualified than Hillary Clinton to serve as president of the United States of America," he said. Then, in a joking aside: "I hope you don't mind, Bill, but I was just telling the truth, man."

It’s true Clinton has more foreign policy experience than most recent nominees. She’s far more politically experienced than Obama was. And due to her time as first lady, she’s even actually lived in the White House.

But the most qualified?
