Chelsea Clinton Is the Last Thing the Democratic Party Needs

Observer

"The only good would be for Chelsea to lose a congressional race, teaching Democrats a lesson they've continuously failed to learn."

"Since Hillary Clinton’s presidential election loss, rumors have circulated that speculate about what she will do next. In trying to predict Clinton’s future—from running for mayor of New York City to hosting her own TV show—the idea has also been advanced that her daughter, Chelsea Clinton, may enter politics herself. Though being the progeny of the widely-disliked Bill and Hillary should disqualify Chelsea, the Democratic Party’s cultist obsession with her family’s access to a vast network of wealthy donors leaves any congressional race of her choosing open to Chelsea if she wants to run.
"This would be a disaster for the Democratic Party.
"Instead of moving on—and being better off for it—another Clinton in public office would broaden the party’s disconnect with working and middle class voters." . . .
