"The GOP hasn't won POTUS without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket since Herbert Hoover. As much as voters don't like political dynasties, they apparently do in the case of the Bushes and the presidency."

While technically close, it's difficult to understand what Nixon and dynasty have in common.

No, America, with the Adams, Bushes and Roosevelts (are their others?) as examples, is not dynastic. That was the old days mostly.

Now days it's all about cultural infusion and outlets.

The point I was making was the GOP hasn’t won the POTUS without a Nixon or Bush on the ticket since Hoover.

Actually, I’d consider Nixon as his own dynasty (or perhaps reign) - the only person to be elected VP and P twice.

I agree with your comment about cultural infusion and outlets.
