Political Families where the Father and Son have a severe disconnect?

[Don Vito Corleone]

All the time, I see Ron Paul supporters say Rand Paul isn't a real Libertarian, and that he stands for everything his father stood against. And of course, who could forget about Mario Cuomo and his son Andrew Cuomo . 
My Question is, which other political families have this same sort of disconnect between the father and son (by "this same sort of disconnect" I mean either the son is very different politically from the father, or a lot of people who like the father aren't too fond of the son)?

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Birch and Evan Bayh are obviously vastly different.
I can't imagine pro gay Tulsi Gabbard supporters are big fans of her father.

[Don Vito Corleone]

I just thought of another example. A lot of people who like Robert Casey Sr. are either lukewarm to or dislike Robert Casey Jr.

I actually don't know much about the Bayh's, what's the Difference between Birch and Evan Bayh?

You mean like Benjamin and William Franklin?

Ronald Reagan and Ronald Reagan Jr.   Its funny you post this just now because I saw a commercial with Ronald Reagan Jr. on behalf of Secular Coalition for America not 20 minutes ago.  Ronald Reagan Jr. is a convinced atheist, a vocal opponent of the Christian right, its champions and its goals.

I think Ronald Reagan Jr. (who appears occasionally on MSNBC, but otherwise is not well known) has written extensively about his father, as well as his own secularist (and relatively liberal) views, but I have never bothered to read anything he has written. Couldn't comment on that.

Jesus and his dad didn't seem to always be on the same page.

Why no mention of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush.

HW explicitly did not want to invade Iraq to overthrow Saddam, even though he easily could have. W invaded Iraq to overthrow Saddam.

HW is highly respected amongst intellectual political observers on both sides of the aisle. W is neither.

HW was an intellectual conservative. W was not.

That was going to be my suggestion.

Uh, Barack Hussein Obama, Senior -- and Junior, maybe?

Is there any possibility of disconnects between fathers and daughters?

[Yank2133]

Joe Kennedy and JFK.

Joe Sr. was an isolationist, while JFK was not.

Kassebaum and Landon are pretty similar, moderate Republicans. Not sure of any other major father-daughter duos.

JFK and Caroline?

Shameless plug for my timeline that features Ron Reagan as a candidate in the crazy 2028 presidential election

I was no Casey Sr fan but I can't stand Junior.  They had some differences but not a "Severe Disconnect", in my view.

Corruption and evil are cumulative. Only difference is in degree.

Barbara Bush (daughter of George W. Bush) is an artsy liberal Democrat living it up in Manhattan, from what I understand.

Frank and Lisa Murkowski in that Lisa can still win the general after getting primaried

How about John Chafee and Lincoln Chafee?

[Sumner 1868]

Pat and Jerry Brown.

Whats so different between them?

She could have gotten that from her mother. I have long heard rumors that FLOTUS Laura came from a democratic family, and personally held pro choice and pro LGBT views throughout her husbands tenure. She kept things very close to the vest publicly though.

Yes, he came to mind when I saw title, he'd be a better leader than DJT.

Thurmond and his wedlocked kid obviously!

Both George W and Jeb were/are more Conservative than their Father.

[MarkD]

Hamilton Fish the IV, and his son Hamilton Fish the V.

The father was a moderate Republican congressman from a rural district in upstate NY. The son also ran for Congress, twice, lost both times, but ran as a Democrat.

There's also the Joneses of North Carolina. Walter Jones, Sr. was a Democrat from District 1 for over 25 years. His son, at first, also ran as a Democrat when his father announced retirement. But after losing the Democratic primary, Walter Jr. ran again two years later as a Republican, and has now been serving for over 22 years.
