I was telling you that your sentence did not make any degree of sense to me, because of what I intended in my post. Wires must have been crossed - and I'll explain below:
You're being too literal - I mean that her actual Senate record is sparse, spotty at best, and not indicative of any degree of involvement that would set her apart from Joe Average Senator (and in many ways, she comes in below par).
She doesn't have a good record in the Senate, even though she served - that was my point, not that it was some sort of awkward requisite for being President. Frankly, that final assertion would have been both asinine and literally wrong, so I'm not sure why you would think that was my point, but hey - my bad, I'll be more clear in the future.
What?
Just like you said, not every candidate has a similar Senate experience to draw from, so "side-by-side" comparisons are a joke - not to mention that individual candidates should be examined for their own merits, unless you think the goal should be to elect the "lesser evil" candidate. Comparison is a beautiful thing for finding differences between the candidates, but it is not at all necessary for rational discussion. Sorry - feel free to find Mike Huckabee's veto record as Governor, if you think it's comparable . . . I don't. Meanwhile, I think Hillary's "skeletons" include her overblown Senate experience - hence, I pointed out proof of that. Life is easy, brother.

The hazards and dangers of internet "conversation"
I think we are on same page.
I did a rather quick look at some of the other site and many of the records are just about equal to hers. However, as you pointed out, many other components to look at.
And as we are now finding out, many of the candidates have some sort of "skeleton" in their back ground.
Which does being it to, unfortunately, "the lesser of the evils" level. Or it at least adds that component to many of the
candidates
No one is perfect. While the US may have one of the better ways of electing officials, it too is not perfect.
