Indeed it is. Just imagine if Hillary Clinton is elected President and serves two terms by the time she leaves office an entire generation will exist having only two families as President. Born, raised, graduated, married and had their own children. All with the same two families as President It is most definately time for a new name.

Candidates are individuals; so it doesnt matter if the spouse runs, however the family interests as well as contacts are the same, and thus are the interests brought to the Office. It's a conflict of interests, at least one generation span should be between candidates for president.

Including the vice presidency under Reagan, TWENTY-EIGHT as of next year.
Yes, a Hillary Clinton (or a Jeb or other Bush) presidency would be BAD FOR DEMOCRACY, BAD FOR EGALITARIANISM, BAD FOR THE IMAGE OF THE US ABROAD AND TO HER OWN PEOPLE.
And yeah, that's me SCREAMING!

27 years is the answer if you include the years that
George H. W. Bush was vice-president .

People want Hillary in there though and I don't understand
it.
Edit-
Someone likes her I see! Like I said, most times I get
thumbs down is in the Politics or R&S section. It is
actually funny.
