More Wisdom from Will Rogers...and Bernie Sanders

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

          - Will Rogers

Apparently, when it comes to Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders agrees. He recently said something to the effect that Hillary's great experience doesn't mean she has good judgement. I've been pointing this out for years. 

When one starts out, gaining experience as a results of bad judgement dominates the process. As time goes on however, experience should come from learning from one's mistakes, by applying good judgement and seeing the benefit of making good decisions. 

After years in the public eye and on the political stage, Hillary should fall into the latter phase of experience but unfortunately, we saw from her tenure as Secretary of State that wasn't the case.
We can't afford more On-the-Job judgement training and experience gathering in the White House. That is what Hillary will bring if elected president.

Rediscovering the Wit and Wisdom of Will Rogers

I was talking with my sons the other day about wise sayings and interesting quotes. My youngest son cited a quote by Mark Twain, "Never put off till tomorrow what my be done day after tomorrow just as well." That got me thinking of interesting quotes and bits of wisdom from other Americans. One of my favorites is Will Rogers.

I plan to occasionally share some of his sayings in this blog in the future and maybe discuss their relevance today.

I'll start with these two:

"Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for."

"I am not a member of any organized party - I am a Democrat."

Would Rogers even be welcome in today's Democrat party?
