    I am sick of these megalomaniacal families running for POTUS.

    I don't want another President Clinton or Bush. There should be an amendment to the Constitution prohibiting these dynasty wannabes.

    I think Jeb Bush would've been better and far less obnoxious than his yokel brother, but too bad for him. He had a chance and it was wasted on the mushmouth.

    I disagree with there being an amendment to the Constitution (we'd be better served with term limits on the Congress), but I do agree we shouldn't be voting in another Bush or Clinton or Obama or Carter.

    No. We need more political dynasties.

    They're the only thing that keeps Americans from being ruled once more by a King...

    It's just that the people are DUMB! Ever see Eddie Murphy in "The Distinguished Gentleman"..... "Vote for Jeff Johnson.."THE NAME YOU KNOW!"

    Why do people think Hillary is so great? If Hillary had turned Bill down, in the '60s when he asked her out, she'd be ZILCH, maybe a divorce lawyer in Jersey! But now she's built this "brand" hitched to Bill's wagon and RETARD Americans thing she's something!

    The old joke is that if Hillary hadn't married Bill, her husband would have still been president....

    Careful what you wish for, we could end up with Slick Willy or Dubya redux.

    Yep, agreed also.

    HOWEVER, banning is not the course of action. We have the ability to vote.

    Jeb Bush sucks. I don't want another Bush or Clinton either. But I'm not interested in making any laws about this. If the people aren't bright enough to vote for something different, then they get what they get.

    It is true. Political dynasties eventually end up eviscerating democracy and rewarding the elite at the people's expense.

    I do not believe we should ban people from being President because one of their parents or ancestors was President. I don't like dynasties either, but we really should not ban them.

    Does this mean Herbert Hoover should've been reelected in 1932 over FDR?

    Amendment would be a better way to stop infiltration of these dynasties.
