if she ran under the name Hillary Rodham?

(37,748 posts)Seems as through a simple name change wouldn't deter those whose votes are wholly predicated on genetics and blood-lines.

(37,748 posts)Dynasties, by definition, are predicated on blood lineage and more often than not, patrilineal successions.
If we (whoever "we" are) are going to use the concept of Dynasty as a reason to avoid her (or vote for her), we must be honest (to ourselves at least) in our knowledge of classical dynasties, agnaticism and dynastics.

(114,904 posts)running under the name Rodham wouldn't lessen the dynasty factor. If the dynasty thing bothers someone, a name change won't make the slightest difference.
I will not be voting for Hillary. But if she wins the nomination and general, I will be fine with it. I just don't want to vote for her. So I won't.
I live in CT. The DEM nominee will win my state with or without my vote, so I am free to vote for someone else.
