It’s Time to End the Clinton Political Dynasty

[berniepdx420]

Americans of all political stripes rejoiced when, having failed to win a single state, Jeb Bush’s presidential aspirations came to an early and very abrupt end in February. As the New York Times observed, “Jeb Bush spent $160 million running for president with nothing to show for it.” What it did show — much to Jeb’s disappointment, of course — is that the Bush political dynasty is dying. (We’d like to say “dead”, but we don’t want to jinx it.) We’re confident that, like his brother, Jeb will distinguish himself as a celebrated finger painter.

But why stop with the Bushes? 2016 can be the year that America’s two most miserable political families fall from grace. Allow me to remind my dear readers that, with exception of 2012, “you’d have to be 38 or older to have lived through an election with no Bush or Clinton running for president.”

Aside from what these two unfortunate families have done to America and the rest of the world over the last 40-odd years, the fact that two families could so totally dominate the American political system for so long does not exactly instill confidence in the “representative” nature of our so-called democracy. History hasn’t been kind to societies that are controlled by a handful of political cartels.

14. Wow

That's some real compelling evidence you got there. Why is this word so hard for you? Maybe there's a child's dictionary that can explain it in a much simpler way than the adult version does. Worth a shot maybe.

4. I'm convinced a lot of self-loathing Americans want a ruling class because they want to be ruled

[brooklynite]

6. The day you can accept that millions of Democrats LIKE Hillary Clinton (and Bill)...

...is the day you'll stop making tactical mistakes in selling Bernie's message.

No hurry.

[berniepdx420]

[Tarc]

12. That means the...what is it up to now, 2.7 million?...more votes that Hillary has earned

[berniepdx420]

16. First reason mom (turning 90) will not be voting Hillary. She just doesn't like the passing back and

forth between Bush/Clinton. Then there is the Foundation, the emails, and all the way back to Vince Foster. We need new energy. This is the first time she said if Bernie is not the nominee, she will not be voting that race, for the first time ever. She's not happy about it, but she will not vote for her.

17. no way. Give Hillary the Bomb.

She has it bad for Iran, and there can be no other relief for our dear Abuelita
