If Hillary gets into the Whitehouse this November we will be looking at the Clinton dynasty matching that of the Bush hold on US power.

Bush Snr was in power from 89-93, Bill then took over up to 01 where he handed the baton back to W who stayed there until 09.

So, let’s assume Mrs Clinton trumps Trump and then stays for two terms until 2024, we’re looking at two families being in charge of the world’s biggest superpower for 27 out of 35 years.

However, it takes a strong Marketing Director (and agency) to continue believing in concepts that have been mauled.

2016 will be a challenge for the US public, when the largest quant survey in the world takes place, will they go for a familiar name (but shock, horror, a woman) or will they revert to type and put a white billionaire in there – and possibly he’ll be a familiar face off the telly.
