Presidential dynasty talk is silly talk
I just want to be on the record as having said that discussions of a Bush-Clinton presidential dynasty, like these, are just plain silly. What we've seen over the past 20 years is a bit of an anomaly. Trying to say that Hillary Clinton, Jeb Bush, Chelsea Clinton, and George P. Bush, or some combination thereof, are going to swap the presidency in the coming years is absurd. It ignores how fickle American voters can be as well as the ever marching forward nature of our national life. Look, there was a time where people thought that maybe the Kennedy's could be a presidential dynasty in this nation. That didn't work out, did it? Well, neither will the scenarios raised in these fanciful Bush-Clinton discussions. It may be fun fodder for thought, but it just isn't realistic.
