21. No! The problem is the Bush Dynasty/Name and Repug dependence on that.

I'll admit that the Democrats had the Kennedy dynasty and refrain from remarking on positive achievements of Kennedys VS Bushes. Jeb might be the "smarter" brother GHWD might have preferred to perpetuate the Bush dynasty, but his accomplishments are hardly more impressive than Dubya'
s. He wasn't much in the national public eye outside Florida other than Terry Schiavo (not his finest hour) and, more deserved, 2000 elections questions. OTOH, I'm not a big Hillary fan, and would like to see some challengers: but ANYONE would be better than the crazy challengers Jebbie faces. More into the monetary support, I'm sure, than any real challenge to their crazy platforms. BUT, a husband and wife with individual educations and experience, both nationally and internationally, are just as presented. The Clintons are NOT a dynasty. Love 'em or hate 'em: they are nothing like the Bushes.
