text: Mr. Falsgraf:  Well put.  Ms Clinton is clearly a bright, well-informed, extremely competent person.  I think she is also a compassionate individual.  However, compassion in a politician is often seen as "weakness" and, especially by a female candidate, is "downplayed" vis a vis "toughness.".....and, believe me, Ms Clinton is plenty tough.  Compared with Mr. Trump on any metric of qualification to be President, she's miles ahead.   regards, Gary
