People are just tired of the same old families.

Definitely!

This is what we've seen since 1981:

Bush 1 as VP for 8 years followed by
Bush 1 as Pres for 4 years followed by
Clinton 1 as Pres for 8 years followed by
Bush 2 as Pres for 8 years followed by, very probably,
Clinton 2 as President for 8 years by 2016.

That means a Bush or Clinton continuously in the Administration (VP and President) for 35 years.


Surely, we can find some other equally or more qualified candidates!

Neither the Bushes nor the Clintons have been that stellar of leaders.

Well what do we expect? The American people are petty whiners continually carping because not everything can be ordered 100% to their immediate satisfaction the second a President takes office. A President is subjected to the most bitter infantile petulant personal attacks and demagoguery by a Junk media, wholly incompetent at their OWN jobs, who are so arrogant they think THEY have the answers for everything.

No wonder our best and brightest look at this clown circus that is American Politics in the boomer era and say “Screw this for a sad sick joke”.

The Globalist cabal marches on.

Note she’s running as “Hillary” (like Cher and Madonna), not Hillary Clinton or Mrs. Clinton.
One bit of Democrat backlash she faces in this race is that people see:

1980 Ronald Reagan/George HW Bush
1984 Ronald Reagan/George HW Bush
1988 George HW Bush/Dan Quayle
1992 Bill-Hillary Clinton (our first co-presidents)/Al Gore
1996 Bill-Hillary Clinton/Al Gore
2000 George W Bush/Dick Cheney
2004 George W Bush/Dick Cheney

and the possibly of Hillary Clinton again in immediate succession. Two families at the top for potentially 30 years (2008/2012).

What the Democrats don’t acknowledge is how incestuous their presidential tickets have always been. There hasn’t been a lot of blood in the running.

1892 Democrat ticket: Grover Cleveland/Adlai Stevenson WON
1896 Democrat ticket: William Bryan/Arthur Sewall(Thomas Watson) LOST
1900 Democrat ticket: William Bryan/Adlai Stevenson LOST
1908 Democrat ticket: William Bryan/John Kern LOST
1924 Democrat ticket: John Davis/Charles Bryan LOST
1952 Democrat ticket: Adlai Stevenson II/John Sparkman LOST
1956 Democrat ticket: Adlai Stevenson II/Estes Kefauver LOST
1992 Democrat ticket: William Clinton/Albert Gore Jr. WON
1996 Democrat ticket: William Clinton/Albert Gore Jr. WON
2000 Democrat ticket: Albert Gore Jr./Joseph Lieberman LOST

A bunch of perpetual candidates in this list. Charles Bryan was the brother of perpetual presidential loser William Jennings Bryan (who also lost his fight against Darwinism in the 1920s). Two of the perpetual candidates held the office of VP; Adlai never got the presidency although his namesake grandson did get the nomination. Adlai II’s VP runing mate Estes Kefauver left fellow Tennessee senator Albert Gore Sr. in the dust (both tried to get the party nomination for president) thus passing the loser baton to another generation.

Don’t get started looking at how they all attended the same law schools at roughly the same time...

With any luck, Web Hubbel’s daughter will finally get a chance to break this two family monopoly in 2016, or perhaps just after!!
