(40,416 posts)Of course, in England the head of state is inherited "by bloodline" (and sometimes literally by blood). In the USA I believe that we fought a war to secure ourselves from bloodlines, or family dynasties.
Hillary Clinton has no more claim to the White House than Joe Bagofdoughnuts. And anybody who says otherwise isn't paying attention. Her sole root of experience is that her husband was POTUS. And yes, she had a little over a term in the US Senate, which she won by leveraging her relationship as a former White House resident. She became SOS by making a credible opposition to Barack Obama in 2008. However, if I were Barack, I would have kept her on a shorter leash because what she did, did not turn out so well.
Might as well nominate Joe Bagofdoughnuts, just like the GOP.
