‘They became President because enough of those 300 million people freely voted for them, not because of their family tree.’

I guess the hard bit is becoming the candidate with daddys help; once you’ve narrowed the choice down to two, that’s when the voters come into play.

Oh, and it self-evidently wasn’t a non-sequitor as you did respond and calculating the odds of a father and son both becoming president is eminently possible. . . . . ;-)

Um, if you remember correctly, the first President Bush was a one-term President who was hardly popular with members of EITHER party. Also, George W. Bush had to win a primary battle with John Mc Cain (among others) to even become the candidate. Here's a hint - his father could only vote ONCE, in one state, in those primaries just like any other US citizen

But why am I even wasting my time with one obviously so clueless...
