First, it was the Bushes and Clintons, then the Obamas and Cheneys. One could say this for Donald Trump: Having vanquished two Democratic and two Republican dynasties, he is a truly bipartisan, equal-opportunity disrupter. Has one man ever singlehandedly vanquished so many political name brands? The obvious answer is no. Whether you believe this to be a good or bad thing, this much is certain: Trump has been a wrecking ball to the political establishment and the family legacies it has produced. In fact, it has come to all but define his unique political career.
In 2016, after serving as a successful governor of Florida, Jeb Bush finally stepped up to do what his family always envisioned and sought the presidency. He was the early favorite to follow in the footsteps of his father and brother and become the third member of the Bush dynasty to reach the Oval Office. And if the Mitt Romney-John McCain neoconservative party of yore had carried on with business as usual, his heavily financed candidacy might have succeeded or at least been highly competitive. But no one, least of all the Bushes, counted on the rebellious emergence of Trump, who flattened Bush early on, calling him “low energy Jeb.” Bush never recovered, once famously having to prompt an audience to clap for him, and pulled out of the race after three primary contests, having won the paltry total of four delegates.
But Trump wasn’t done with the Bush dynasty. In a debate before the 2016 South Carolina primary, The Donald called the Iraq War, initiated by George W. Bush, “a big fat mistake.” He then shocked everyone in the military-friendly state by channeling Democrats’ standard talking points: “They lied! … They said there were weapons of mass destruction … and they knew there were none,” adding that the war cost taxpayers $5 trillion that could have been used to rebuild American infrastructure. The Bush family never forgave Trump, with Bush 41 and 43 refusing to endorse the eventual GOP nominee. They knew their dynasty was done.
Bullseye on the Clintons
Next came the Clintons. Like Jeb Bush in the GOP primaries, Hillary Clinton was considered a heavy favorite in the 2016 general election. Having served as First Lady, senator, and Secretary of State, her credentials were impeccable. And if she had won, Bill Clinton would have returned to the White House as First Gentleman in a third Clinton term. Yet the voters proved to be unimpressed or uninterested in Hillary’s resume. They wanted to shake things up profoundly in the DC Swamp, and Trump was the only one who promised to do exactly that as a genuine outsider who had already accumulated enough fame and fortune for a lifetime.
Despite her extensive experience and voluminous position papers, Clinton was drawn into the trap of campaigning not on her merits but on the horrors of Trump. Once she labeled his supporters deplorable and irredeemable, she forfeited the high ground and suffered the most shocking defeat in decades – so much for the Clintons. […]
