The vast majority of her career she was never a leader - She was an employee or the spouse of a elected government official. She was married to the Attorney General of Arkansas, the Governor of Arkansas, and then the President of the United States, which spans more than twenty years of her life.
Just because you were janitor at the high school for twenty years doesn't mean you are qualified to board of education.

I don't like people who are "box checkers". It seems to me like Hillary did the bare minimum to qualify herself to run for president.

I am not passing judgement. I don't follow politics too closely, although there are a few exceptions. For example, I follow Christie because he is such an interesting character (and from NJ, my home state). Other than Hillary, Jeb, and Romney, I couldn't tell you who the front runners would be for the next election. I would just assume wait until we have a confirmed list of names and then a debate or two.
