...there'd be talk of JFK appointing Bobby Attorney general, and our long history of political dynasties. Our "media" would swallow it whole, if you'll excuse the expression. How long would it be before anyone who questions it would be accused of being part of the "liberal media"? Having said this, I must admit, I think this would be too much, even for Trump, even for the GOP.
