OP
Listen to how she says "other wonderful families" as if it's a pedigree thing.

For once, she is right. We should not keep returing to the Kennedys, Clintons and Bushes.

I agree, though. That's why I don't want Hillary shoved down my throat.

There are others who are well qualified and should run.
How do you think monarchies came into being? The society kept following people from a certain or certain families to lead them.
We should not revert to a monarchy.
That is another reason that I oppose Hillary Clinton. Who is next in that family? Chelsea?
We should stay away from family dynasties in the White House. So far it has not worked out that well.. John Adams - John Quincy Adams. George H.W. Bush - George W. Bush. The sons were even worse than the fathers in each case.
Hillary Clinton does not have the grace and personality of Bill Clinton.
