Presidential Dynasties: Nip It In The Bud

It’s official, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are running for president. Okay by me, as they both meet my number one criteria for presidential candidates these days: neither is related to a former president or former presidential nominee (former presidential candidates who never stood a chance with their own party don’t count in this round).

Because really, does America need any more family dynasties?

Take Hillary for example: I see she just hired Lady M’s “image consultant.”

With her not only would we get more of the Bubba-sphere, butt now we’d get more of the Obama-sphere as well. Does America want to see Hilz on the Jimmy Fallon show performing the evolution of grandma dancing?

And Bush 3? No. Just no. Besides, Jeb Bush thinks he’s “Hispanic” - which isn’t even a real thing, butt even if it was, does America really need another president of questionable heritage?

Which brings me to Meghan McCain; no she hasn’t announced that she’s running. I would just like to preempt the possibility In the event she considers it a future option. I think this Tweet alone should preclude any serious consideration:

Meghan, Meghan, Meghan; did your father not explain the point of the phrase “question authority?”

And you do know that science is premised on the notion of questioning things you think you know for sure, don’t you?

No, of course you don’t; you have a degree in art history. Which may qualify you to be a “personality” who Tweets about important things you know nothing about, butt does not quite measure up to presidential standards. Or at least it shouldn’t. However – and at the risk of being accused of being part of the War On Women (WOW) - I would volunteer that Meghan seems to have the fashion sense required to be a FLOTUS some day.

WOW!
