Two women are announcing their presidential runs this weekend. And there was a time we鈥檇 never think we鈥檇 be uttering that sentence. That鈥檚 some serious progress. Now let鈥檚 make sure they - and the two other amazing women - are treated the way male candidates would be.

Wow ... that's so smart! Who cares if she's a proven public servant? Who cares if she's transparent in her life? Who cares about her inner circle & who would be in her administration? Twitter followers & celebrity status rule! I'm voting Katy Perry and Justin Bieber!

Politicians aren't the only "public servants" & 35 years is pretty "proven." "Transparent in my private life?"What does that mean?? And if you think 2 terms as Congressman is what gives someone qualifications & substance to be president, I'm not sure you know what Congressmen do.

Hi! Public service is unique. It isn't about turning a profit or running a business. It is about serving the public. Being transparent? Releasing 10 years of tax returns as a start. I know exactly what folks in Congress do. I don't think the Presidency is entry level

Politics is not the only way to serve the public

With all due respect, we have a president with zero experience in elected office and it鈥檚 a disaster. Obviously your experience is very different. But why not run for something else before President? Like Congress, Senate or governor?

I believe my career experience is as relevant as any politician鈥檚. I, like millions of Americans, do not believe the current political conversation is the only, or even the best, container for the transformative energies now needed to repair the country (Btw I鈥檓 your fan, Neera)

After a person wins elected office, it's no longer "politics." Again, I want to know how an individual fares in an elected office prior to putting that person in the White House. A am very suspicious of someone who assumes entitlement to the highest office w no experience
