Clooney turns on Clinton: Actor says he never saw Hillary 'elevate her game' and claims he had lots of liberal friends who thought 'she's not good at this'

UK Daily Mail "A-list actor George Clooney, who supported Hillary Clinton amid the 2016 presidential campaign and also hosted a fundraiser for her, said he believes she wasn't fit for the White House role.

"Clooney, a 56-year-old new father of twins, spoke during a wide-ranging interview with the Daily Beast where revealed that while he believes the Democratic nominee was 'qualified for the job,' she wasn't a skilled communicator like some of her counterparts.

" 'Being qualified for the job does not necessarily mean you're the right person to be president,' Clooney said in the interview.

" 'Here's what I mean ... She was more qualified than even her husband was when he was elected president, but she's not as good at communicating things. That's simply true.

'When she got up and gave a speech, it didn't soar. Now, that doesn't mean that she wouldn't have done a great job as president, and I supported her because by the time we did the fundraiser the primary was over at that point and it was time to get on with picking someone to move forward, and she was the right person to side with.' "

Is this a sign of being "qualified"?
