Political Dynasties
Why are political dynasties ok?
WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton defended American political dynasties — including her own — arguing some families may just have a “predisposition” to become presidents.I'd like to see someone defend this type of sentiment and then explain to me how inequality is a prime problem for our country. Oh, I have no doubt that the same person could do both, but they'd have to sacrifice intellectual honesty to do so.
In an interview published Tuesday with Der Spiegel, Clinton batted down the notion that a succession of Bushes and Clintons in the White House would turn American politics into a monarchy.
“We had two Roosevelts,” the former secretary of state told the German publication. “We had two Adams. It may be that certain families just have a sense of commitment or even a predisposition to want to be in politics.”
