Hmmm. Something akin at work here.

Probably the best man they've got. Would love to see one day Kamala Harris vs. Nikki Haley or Kamala Harris vs. Pam Bondi.

I see no one.

On the republican side I see Rubio, Ryan, perhaps George P. Bush too name a few, but who on the dem side is up and coming?
I don't see anyone even remotely on the horizon in the democratic party, unless one counts Chelsea, and that isn't too far fetched I suppose.

Just my observation.

Bob.

Elizabeth Warren.

I never heard of most of the ones mentioned but I was impressed with Amy Duckworth while watching the Benghazi show. I would also add our own congresswoman from AZ, Kirsten Sinema, to the list of up and comers.

Here are your Democratic leaders of the future:
City Council Man From East Chicago, Indiana Is Re-Elected While In Jail Facing Murder Charges | Ear Hustle 411

Disgusts me that a known drug dealer is not only elected to a city council but then he takes out his competition in front of the guys family and the voters re-elect him while he's sitting in jail. They have really dumb down people!

How do you define "dynasty"?

Do you really need me to create a link for you?

Why do you need to create a link?

I asked YOU how YOU define a dynasty? That's not a complicated question.

I define a dynasty as family that controls power or resources through multiple generations.

I would say the Rockefellers were a dynasty, because multiple generations controlled vast economic resources as well as political resources.

I would argue that the Romneys were dynastic, in that multiple generations of the family were very wealthy and held powerful political positions.

I would argue the same about the Bushes and the Kennedys.

So, how do YOU define a dynasty?

I agree with with your definition.. No need for all the false drama. This defines the Clintons exactly.

1. Agree. But, they do fit the profile the party wants to project.

2. Agree. She is a good follower, with some intellectual capacity. Second choice behind Caroline, who is much better suited for the benign role of Ambassador to Japan. All ceremony, which fits her station in life. No other real world requirements.

3. SF is actually a very wealthy city. Many young people move across the bay to survive. Homeless have a good environment in which to be homeless, but are detested by the shopkeepers. They are numerous, fairly aggressive not to mention filthy. A scourge, as are the progressives, on an otherwise beautiful and delightful city.

Not a good lineup IMHO.

At 66.5, Sen Warren is hardly the future.
