How Much is a Ticket to Mars; Clinton/Bush Edition

The Daily Show found some putz of a consultant who thinks that the key to success is "brand name" politics.

Or, more traditionally, dynastic politics.

Clinton v. Bush in `16. Christ on roller skates, is there any chance that they can get the Mars flights going sooner than that?

Here's my default position: If your daddy, husband, brother, uncle, grandfather or cousin is a politician, I'm not going to vote for you. You're going to have to make an exceptionally strong case as to why I should vote for you. For we all know, if your name were Peggy Palooka from a trailer park in West Bumfuck, you wouldn't be running for Congress/Senate/governorship/Presidency.

The Founders knew that the problem with royalty was that with succession determined by bloodline, sooner or later you get a dissipated idiot as your king. We came damn close to that with the last president, as it is.

So, you idiots in the respective parties, find somebody else.

It really would be Great to have some 'new ideas' in the Big Chair. Obviously the "old ways" aren't working now, if they ever did?
Of course I am not going to 'hold my breath' waiting.
Then there are some really wild ones out there that Oh So need behaviour modification thru meds, and will never get that so I could be happy with a not too crazy dynasty.
