He'll be missed and I was shocked that Trump replaced him abruptly like that WD.

For a guy who said he was so against the nepotism in Washington he seems to being doing a lot of it himself

He'd lie if the truth was better for him. I remember reading a bit about him in the old Spy Magazine back in the 80s where they quoted a guy who had had some business dealings with him as saying "That c**ks**k*r would lie to you about the time of day, just for practice."

Just to be fair, wasn't Hillary Clinton's total political career the very essence of nepotism? Something to do with her husband ?
Clintons, Bushes, Kennedys..it goes on and on

Clintons, Bushes, Kennedys..it goes on and on You really want to play "both sides" now, while a Russian plant is staffing the White House with neonazis? Also, Bill Clinton came from very humble beginnings and was raised by a single mom. Hillary's background wasn't much more glamorous. To compare the Clintons to the Bushes and Kennedies is ... odd.

Playing the "Humble" card in light of the last decades' amassing of wealth by the Clinton's seems...odd as well. They have done quite well during that time with the insane fees they charged for giving speeches to Wall Street directors and Mid-East despots. Probably made as much or even more than Donald Trump during that time period. I think we can retire the "Humble' routine.

I thought your point was something about the privilege of political dynasties, which the Clintons clearly did not have. They got where they were because they were an effective team, not because their daddies were president or gave them huge trust funds.

Regarding Trump and his obsession with that damn wall of his to keep out Mexican illegals, I found this quote on Facebook yesterday, something that fits the situation, and Trump's folly to perfection:

Bill and Hillary achieved everything as a team. Letting both members of the team have a go is not nepotism to me. The fact that everybody related to the Bushes and Kennedys has an easier time raising funds and making it onto a ballot, that's nepotism.
