    I am sure you appreciated Bush 2 Electric Boogaloo, Hillary Clinton’s disastrous run that only happened because she had insider clout from her husband to shut down the Sanders campaign, RFK Jr the “My daddy was a civil rights hero who was shot” candidate, and the constant calls for Michelle Obama and Chelsea Clinton to save us?

    Being a close relative of someone who held a position should disqualify you from that position - there is far too much hereditary bullshit in American politics.

        Chicago famously had two mayor Daleys and they nearly destroyed the city with corruption. It’s not healthy to have nepotism in a democracy - it causes far more problems than accidental good candidates it occasionally misses.
