Dynasties

Dynasty. An idea that strikes at the heart of the spirit of our republic.

Or, at least, it should. Faced with the prospect of spending a quarter century or more with two families in the country’s highest office, faced with the possibility of being almost thirty years old, by some measures spending perhaps a third of my life without knowing a president whose last name is not “Bush” or “Clinton”, I think you can perhaps see why the word dynasty is troubling to me.

How short-sighted we are. And how dare Hillary Clinton claim to represent change.

I have no interest in walking down a dynastic political path.
