Chelsea Clinton (now) open to running for office

[Zioneer]

No more Clintons, please. Hillary if we have to, but I'm sick of Clintons.

The pro-dynasty talk here is just painful.

Politics is the only job where people get mad if you want to follow in your parent's footsteps.

If she wants to run, let her run. Unless you live in NYC, you'll probably never even vote for her anyway.

Oh I have no problem with those who want to follow in their relative's footsteps... If they're qualified. And if their relative hasn't been over-hyped for the last decade or so. I'm sure Chelsea Clinton is a perfectly nice person, but until this Hillary Clinton hype dies down, I'm sick of anyone with the name Clinton (and Bush, and etc. Kennedy is not so bad because Joe Kennedy III is keeping his head down for now).

True, a lot of politicians are nowhere as good as their father (Evan Bayh, Andrew Cuomo, George W Bush), but some are at least as good (Jerry Brown, John Quincy Adams).

I would argue that Quincy Adams was better than his dad, to be honest. And Benjamin Harrison was probably better than his granddad.

RIP Chuck Schumer

Ooooh.

Okay yes. I can get behind this if she primaries out Schumer. That could be the silver lining here.

Okay yeah, I'll admit that taking down Schumer would be worth having yet another Clinton in office. Especially if Chelsea Clinton is more liberal than her parents.
