This is not a good idea. IMO
If Clinton-Gore tried to pull this I'd be the first to holler nepotism- even if she's pretty,and likeable.
Isn't this against the (nepotism) law going back to the post- Bobby Kennedy era?
Let's get a list of her qualifications together and then make a judgement. She shouldn't be disqualified either based on genetics.
BTW, the purpose of this post was to start a healthy debate. You bring up a good point. We should not be "cheerleaders" just because she is the daughter of the VP, but rather, because she is the best person for the job.
Pretty and likable?
I take it you aren't familiar with Liz Cheney, her qualifications or her style.
She is a terrific asset. If a dem had a qualified child I would accept it. The problem is when someone like Chelsea got to sit in meetings and the other countries actually complained about it. I don't see a double standard. I see a standard that I apply fairly. I can't help it if Republicans and dems don't.
