Bush-Clinton 3.

No Mas

These two families don't belong in this democracy. Out them out to pasture.

This is a puff piece, with idiot media asking a nothing question. No, Chelsea is not going to commit to running for any particular office; nor will she rule it out. Didn't need to be asked at all, and it is not worth a headline.

I believe that the American people are tired and suspicious of dynasties. So, whether it be Bush, Clinton, Kennedy or whatever, I think it will be hard for someone to be elected president just because they have a certain last name.

Not that I want her to run for anything - but using parenthood against her doesn't work.

What's worse another Bill or another Hillary? God, the mind boggles.

Where do you get sexism in this? She's an ex-hedge fund manager with bad genes. We do not need another one of those in public office.

I'm inclined to think that happened before you saw my post. The removed post made reference to Chelsea being a new mother my response was only to point out that a new father would not be questioned that way. However, the idea of another Clinton running for anything does NOT make my toes tingle.

Welcome to du.

n/t

She had every door of opportunity opened to her due to her parents, and there was no limit on the good she could have done.....yet she chose to be a Wall Street money grubber.

She and George P. Bush can get bent.

Thanks to the good sense of her parents, we know very little about her childhood and adolescence. What we do know is that she is very smart.

It is true that she worked for a hedge fund. It is also true that she is now working for the Clinton Foundation. In terms of running for public office, she is not saying that is something she will do now - or even soon. By then, her resume will be the programs and leadership that she provides the family foundation. She is in a position to do a lot of good. (In fact, possibly more good than serving in the office.)

And chose that path over all the other endless options available to her.

The followed up with a $600,000 fake journalism job without paying her dues, while NBC was laying off actual reporters.

And landing a cushy job at daddy's vanity charity isn't an accomplishment. We'd laugh at the Bushes for that sort of thing.

Time will tell. If she does good in the position, more power to her, but anyone clamoring for her to run for office now is just starstruck by American royalty.

Stanford University (B.A. in History)
Columbia University (Masters in Public Health)
University of Oxford (University College, Oxford) (Masters in Philosophy, PhD. - both degrees in International Relations )

I would say she is imminently qualified to run for national office.

By that standard, Dubya and Jeb are brilliant and worthy to lead.

You want to know her grades too? Legacy or not, Dumbya would never have been admitted to Oxford.

I do not assign the sins of the parents to their children. How do you know anything about Chelsea Clinton, anyway?

Chelsea Clinton IS brilliant, like her parents. The Bush clan are carpetbagging opportunists, and not all that bright.

McGeorge Bundy, Walt Rostow, Henry Kissinger, et al.

Higher education does not necessarily produce wisdom.

😇

Be they Bush, Clinton, or whatever. Being born with a certain last name does not entitle you to automatically be considered viable for public office.

What has Grand Duchess Chelsea done that makes her worthy?

Hedge fund guru expertise?
Nepotism fake reporting job?

Leave the royalty to other countries.

Other than being a hedge fund operator and a pretend journalist who gets paid $600,000 grand to "interview" a CGI advertising lizard.

She's basically a princess or a grand duchess, who we're supposed to revere because of who her parents are.

She's done nothing to distinguish herself outside of the family name.

possibly understand about working families in America?

She's lived in an entitled insular bubble her entire life.

What a fucking sick joke.

Please post your resume so we can evaluate you.

putting it all on the line, chasing down the tough stories, no holds barred, a champion of the people CHELSEA CLINTON IS IN THE HOUSE!

Well, more like $5,000,000 Manhattan Apt. with her Wall Street banker husband.

Clearly she's entitled...

See: http://www.nbcnews.com/video/rock-center/51666976/#51666976

anything like that

Well, this "of the people, for the people, by the people" stuff has been overrated anyway.

Shucks, all we need are three or four families, a few mega-bankers and a few corporate super-CEOs to run the whole country ... maybe the entire world.

But seriously, Chelsea didn't do her mom any favors with this kind of statement -- dynastic talk is the last thing we all want to hear.

Actually, I think this whole Clinton inevitability is going to be derailed this year ... old Hill won't even make it as a candidate to 2016.

If I was a Clinton supporter, this is one of the last things I'd want her to say. She has plenty of time to declare her intentions to run if she so chooses as she is still young. I know people on DU get their rocks off about the possibility of her running some day (there are quite a few people on DU that support the idea of a Clinton dynasty), but given the very strong possibility that her mom is running for president she would have been better off deflecting the question.

The talk of a dynasty will turn most voters off.

She has no requisite experience to be on the national political stage.

I'd rather see Chelsea Manning run for something, though. I know for certain she's got my back. Chelsea Clinton, I don't know anything about.

And doesn't give a crap about the whining haters.

Yeah that exile has a lot to say.

The vicious and ugly SHIT about the Clinton's here, I was alerting AWAY

Got a homophobia problem?

for public office means she is a brave soul.

That says nothing about her, though. It may not run in the family.

For crying out loud we left a monarchy for independence. "Taxation without representation" is what we said. And now look where we are.... Full circle.

If she ran for president that would be another story.

Chelsea has just energized millions of Republicans.

So she could be a very effective advocate for the 99%.

or frequenting food shelves or shopping at the Dollar Store; and they were able to recover financially very quickly. They were not poor. They were rich people with a temporary debt problem.

Or I would have to, or anyone at all.

I'm not necessarily anti-"dynasty" - I am for the best candidate.

Well, that's one way to put it. They schemed and connived and sold themselves to Wall Street, big business and the banks. If you call that "earning," you are a fine American!

I'd want to see her platform. Other than that, it seems (at best) both shallow and absurd to cast a vote or deny a vote for a candidate predicated solely on DNA and genetics.

However, I can certainly empathize with half-wits who attribute her only accomplishment as working for for Avenue Capital... it's a convenient avenue to deny additional and relevant information.

I don't live there and wouldn't have anything to say about it. If she decides to run for president I would have something to say about it, which would be no.
