Qualification?
A more normal person—more normal than most Democratic Party primary voters—might respond: 1) Everyone had traumas growing up. So what? 2) How does the fact (if true) that you had an unhappy childhood qualify you to be President? 3) If I take it at face value that you grew up in a screwed-up family, why should that make me want you to be my President? If anything, one might think, the reverse.
But in today’s therapeutic society, especially in its blue precincts, spilling the beans about one’s own family dysfunction is apparently a plus. God help us.
