    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.
