All through history there are examples of families which have been actively involved in politics. This was quite true in the ancient Roman Republic as well as early US History.

John Adams president, so was his son, John Quincy Adams.

William Henry Harrison was president, so was his grandson, Benjamin Harrison.

I think political families are fine. If they have a propensity for it, fine.

Through my family’s history there have been certain professions represented more than others, no medical to speak of and zero politicians.

Other families are the same. There is a genetic and environmental building of talent in one area or another.

But these people simply when compared to other politicians even political families, like the Louisiana families, for instance, just do not fit the mold
