General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: HRC is NOT a member of a dynasty (Jeb Bush is, of course) [View all]Can you do me a favor and tell me the most famous Democratic political dynasty in history? The Kennedy family, obviously. How long did they "maintain power", as you put it? Once! And that was only for 2 years, a little shy of 3 actually.
If Hillary is elected, the Clinton family will have held the highest office for at least 6 times longer than the Kennedy family.
The ultimate irony here is that the OP refers to the Bush family as a political dynasty, and they are a political dynasty. How long have they served as president? For 12 years. Which is exactly the time that the Clinton family will serve if Hillary wins, assuming she doesn't win a second term. If she does, that will increase to 16 years.
So yeah, the Clinton family will become a dynasty if Hillary wins, assuming it isn't already considering she's been a senator and Sec of State. After all, lesser offices have cemented the Kennedy and Bush families as dynasties. She would clearly qualify the family as a dynasty if she took power. It doesn't mean a family must maintain unbroken presidential terms, just a lot of political power over time and multiple offices.
