JFK picked bobby for AG. After GH Bush, we get GW for pres and maybe Jeb in a few years. Bill Clinton may be eventually succeeded by Hillary. Evan Byah succeeding Birch Bayh.

Seems to me, neopotism is fairly common everywhere. Is "like father, like son" a universally bad thing ?

Nepotism is not necessarily a bad thing at all.
However, "former" communist rulers (even if we share mutual acquantances) should not be life-long rulers of purported Republics, who then rig elections to get their sons elected.
