    Bush and Clinton I get but it seems like Biden was included in this statistic just to bridge the Obama years to 2016. The Bidens aren’t exactly a political dynasty.

        That’s not what the statistic is, though, it’s Biden vs both Clintons combined. There are two general election Bushes, two general election Clintons, one general election Biden.

        That’s because the Clintons aren’t a “dynasty” either. They’re just husband and wife. It’s certainly unique for a husband and wife to both be successful in politics, but a dynasty implies multiple generations.

        The “Clinton Dynasty” is just a right-wing talking point, and has been since the '90s.
