With Hillary now being the ultra favorite for the nomination, and Jeb Bush launching his bid,
Well, I guarantee you, we are heading to an almost certain new Bush/Clinton WH dual.
If you take the time to consider, you'll see that, since 1992, no one presidency process, primaries and GE additionned, has happenned without a Bush, or a Clinton, with the exception of the 2012 one.
1992: Bill Clinton/ GHW Bush
1996 : Bill Clinton reelected
2000: George W. Bush / Al Gore
2004: George W. Bush/ John F. Kerry
2008: Hillary Clinton in Democratic primaries
2012: No Bush Neither Clinton. Obama/Romney
2016? Hillary Clinton vs...? Jeb Bush Vs...? Hillary Clinton/ Jeb Bush?
And now we heard that somewhat Chelsea Clinton is considering her own political career, and on Bushes side, a Geoprge P; Bush has already been elected in a local vote.
Do American really think only those two families are able to lead the country?

The fact that you haven't bothered to do an internet search on something doesn't actually make it not exist.

Of course you will say she did not really say it or mean it or something.....

1980: GHW Bush presidential primary, eventually VP pick
1984: GHW Bush VP run
1988: GWH Bush Presidential run
1992: Bill Clinton/ GHW Bush
1996 : Bill Clinton reelected
2000: George W. Bush / Al Gore
2004: George W. Bush/ John F. Kerry
2008: Hillary Clinton in Democratic primaries
2012: No Bush Neither Clinton. Obama/Romney
2016? Hillary Clinton vs...? Jeb Bush Vs...? Hillary Clinton/ Jeb Bush?
Since the phrasing wasn't including both of them at the same time, why not go back to when the Bush "dynasty" started?
Politics is rife with this in most areas over most of its lifespan, including the US, from various Adams to Roosevelts and Kennedy's and more.
We're just more "aware" of it because we're living in the now. You heard the same back in the day as well.

(45,532 posts)than with whatever fuck-up from the Bush brood is running. They are more worried about Democrats than Republicans. Notice their chart doesn't even give Obama his due for winning in 2008 because that weakens their screwed up screed?
mylye2222
(2,992 posts)First. My thread was talking about Bushes and Clintons. Secondly I said Hillary was just in primaries. Reread. You are turning my OP upside down because it fits your agenda.
FSogol
(45,532 posts)I'm a Democrat. While I have a favorite candidate (see my sig for a clue), I will not bash other Democrats as part of a game. I want our party to win and move the country forward. Why not promote a candidate instead of trying to tear a candidate down?
PS Reread is some advice you should take yourself.
mylye2222
(2,992 posts)And why being afraid? She has all the POPULARITY and NAME RECOGNITION she needs. She already proved she could do any mistakes without being in peril. People like Sanders and O'Malley would not have this chance
Sorry I thought you were a Clinton person.

What will happen when John Kerry campaigns for HRC?
If O'Malley and Sanders don't have the same chances, so what? You don't hear either of them whining or giving up. They aren't afraid and neither are their supporters. They are out campaigning hard for what they believe in. That's the way politics works. Chafee and Webb are so far behind, they aren't on anyone's radar, yet they aren't giving up. The bashers, Eeyores, and malcontents are the ones who seem afraid.
My advice? If you have a preferred candidate, post positive threads explaining why that candidate is the best. All the fighting and tearing down candidate is total crap. This is the election where we all need to pull together for the nominee.
I second the call for more positive threads.
mylye2222
(2,992 posts)as the sitting SOS has a tradition of staying out of politics.
Well, my preffered candidate is Sanders of course, and I wish his because he will put Amercia and its foreign policy in a more progressive way.
But I really wonder some are so mad at Clinton critics. As I stated before, no matter what she is the favorite. She had that favor status far long before any process begin.

(37,748 posts)Genetics and marriages are the last thing I think about when casting a vote. A voter who denies their vote to a candidate simply due to family ties elicits the same amount of bemused giggling from me as a voter who casts their vote simply due to family ties.
Though I realize there may be a desire to disqualify candidates based on name alone (which is I believe, no more and no less melodramatic, absurd and ultimately irrelevant than in presuming the belief exists that they are the only two candidates qualified to lead the country...).
