I just simply marvel at the fact that we've established family political dynasties in this nation...something that would be completely abhorrent to our founders and the very principles of our Republic. But, I remember when we used to actually value (even in a legal sense) the Constitution. Ahhh...the good ol' days.

My money is on Hilary because no woman has made it this far in politics and that will be a winner in the media. Plus, Jeb has nobody to back him up to skew the votes this time....maybe...
First black, now time for the first woman! Soldiers get your boots ready because you gonna need 'em.....again no matter who wins. Alas, I hope I am wrong.
