Clinton most experienced candidate in American history: Expert

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has greater experience than any other candidate in American history but it is “ironical” that she could win the election more due to the “weakness” of her rival Donald Trump, an expert has said.

“No previous female or male presidential candidate in American history has ever put together this particular set of experiences than Clinton,” Professor of History at the University of New Hampshire Ellen Fitzpatrick said at a session on ‘Gender Politics and the 2016 Elections’.

“It is ironic that in vaulting over the hurdles that all of her previous predecessors were felled by, Clinton’s successes have been construed as liabilities by her critics in the current race,” she said.
