Should we expect a Trump dynasty?

Should we expect a Trump dynasty?
By Fritz Pettyjohn

American political dynasties follow certain rules, at the presidential level.  There is an interval between the presidencies of a dynasty, and each generation must have political achievements of its own.  The office has never been inherited.  That smacks of monarchy, which Americans have no use for.

John Quincy Adams served 28 years after his father and was secretary of state.  William Henry Harrison served 48 years before his grandson Benjamin.  There were eight years between the Bushes.

Would-be dynasties follow the same rules.  Bobby Kennedy ran five years after his brother's assassination and was a U.S. senator from New York.  Hillary waited eight years after her husband's presidency and was secretary of state.  Jeb! Bush also waited eight years and had been governor of Florida.

The Republican candidate in 2024 will run on President Trump's record and, if successful, will serve for eight years.  So 2032 would be the election for Don Trump to run, if that is his ambition.  If he moves to Montana and beats incumbent Democratic senator Jon Tester in 2024, he will have an achievement, and an eight-year record, of his own.

I really like Donald Trump Jr. He’s smart and articulate, and I have agreed with his comments made during the height of the witch-hunt and attempted coup.

Depending on the office and his primary opponent, I could vote for him.

Dynasties like monopolies should be broken up.  Better yet, nipped before the even start.

Amen to that. The thought of American political "royalty" sickens me.

   In before a couple of the resident Trumpers articulate how this could be the best thing since Tanning Booths.
No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

You are slipping.  I was expecting you to post a pic of either Joan Collins, Linda Evans or Heather Locklear.

   Trying to stay away from that stuff, about to take the Neighbor out to dinner and drinks and I don't want to screw this up or down, for that matter.  I don't eat where I poop either.

There is a face a Russian sailor could love.  Let her eyebrows grow together and she would look like Brezhnev.

The dynastic Roman House of Julian-Claudio, produced many wise
heads who were instrumental in elevating Rome to arguably the
greatest Empire in world history, commencing w/Julius Caesar!

And We all know what happened to that dynasty.  There are several reasons advanced for the fall of Rome: the decline of the military, increase in the savage hordes. But I got my own opinion. I think it was those Roman baths. Roman generals didn't even bother to fight their own wars no more. Swam around in scented oils, lollygagging with the slaves, stuffing themselves with larks' tongues.

Rome survived and thrived for some 12 centuries because of the wisdom
of its leadership and the grit of its people, while we are a smidgen past two.
Remember that the next time someone bloviates, "We are the greatest!"

Remember the Trees. AB
the maples formed a union
And demanded equal rights
'The oaks are just too greedy
We will make them give us light'
Now there's no more oak oppression
For they passed a noble law
And the trees are all kept equal
By hatchet,
Axe,
And saw
