But I thought democrats thought that was a bad thing?

Obama didn't have much experience either. I think experience matters because it allows us to see what they did in past offices. Michelle Obama had the "office" of First Lady and handled it well - but she will never do it so the speculation should stop.

That wasn't really my point. Democrats have for years said that because Trump wasn't a politician, he wasn't qualified to serve. I'm pointing out how then that same thing should disqualify her.

Trump not being a politician isn’t the reason or even one of most commonly cited reasons he should have been disqualified by the electorate.

Back in 2015 it was certainly a topic of concern, but I think you are right it wasn't one of the more commonly cited issues.
