This quote from the Rolling Stone article:
Still, what's so bad about a son succeeding his father as president?

This type of dynasty is antithetical to the American political tradition. The presidency is now subject to inherited views, inherited staff, inherited wars, inherited money, inherited loyalties. I'm not talking about particular policies -- I'm talking about a unique evolution of a corrupting institutional process in American governance.

Did the author forget about John Adams and his John Quincy Adams?

Isn't this the dynasty mentioned in the article essentially the same dynasty the Kennedy family tried to establish but between bullets and scandals weren't able to?
