And Cheney's daughter is, notably, NOT Dick himself. I don't get this total obsession the democratic party, or partisan politics in general, has with "dynasties", but it's sickening. I don't care if someone's "a Kennedy", least of all NOW, but it's simply a fact that if the democrats had approached him with similar position offers, he'd have gone to them, and I'd be angrily debating with ABF over how horrible a decision it was to ally with this particular Kennedy. That being, Robert Kennedy Jr., a living Ren & Stimpy character who heard about a beached whale and told his daughter "Get the chainsaw, I have an idea!".
This entire concept of someone coming from "good stock" should have died in America's founding. The very fact that TWO Bushes managed to become president is utterly disgusting simply because statistically speaking, the odds should have been vanishingly small, but people projected "Bushiness" onto the son, and were prepped to go further and get another Bush in the form of Jeb later on until Trump went gliding down the escalator. The democrats even fielded Hillary, because primarily, "she's a Clinton". Say what you will about her experience and qualifications, she was picked because she's a Clinton, and then after her loss, they were suddenly talking about getting Michelle Obama to run. Legacies and dynasties need to die, because after Trump's death, we ALL realize who's going to come crawling out of the woodworks to run after him right?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
