Dynastic Politics

I've seen stuff recently from commentators along the lines of how concerned they are that Hillary Clinton is a continuation of dynastic politics, in that if she wins, the presidency will have been held by a member of two families for between 24 to 28 years.

Funny thing, I didn't recall anybody, other than liberals, worrying about this issue in 2000. I don't recall anybody on the Right talking about the fact that George W.

His whole presidency has been defined by his efforts to prove that he is different from his father and the result has been that he has been the most monumental fuckup of a president in American history.
