Hillary Clinton says the nation has had more than one Adams sitting in the White House.
She defends the Bushes as well, contending that the nation has had dynasties during its entire life.

There’s more.
We’ve had two Harrisons — William Henry and grandson Benjamin.
We’ve elected two Roosevelts — cousins Teddy and Franklin Delano.
Of course, fathers and sons John and John Quincy Adams, and George H.W. and George W. Bush.
If Hillary Clinton runs in two years and wins, she’ll be the first spouse of a president to win the office. So that changes the equation a good bit.
Let’s not get too worked up over this dynasty business. We’ve had ’em before.
