And before you say that Donald Trump didn't stain McCain's war record, go over to Fox New's Facebook page and read the overwhelmingly pro-Trump comments in any McCain/Trump article from Murican patriots.
After you lose your faith in humanity, please return and answer this prompt.
Edit-My example. "He's a war hero because he got frozen. I like guys that didn't get frozen".
President Donald Trump has five children, four of whom are adults. His three eldest children from his first marriage, Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric have played a conspicuous roles in his Presidential campaign as well as his administration. His daughter Ivanka, as well as her husband Jared Kushner, serve as senior advisors to President Trump.
While Donald Trump brand of politics is controversial and his polices and personality have earned him many enemies, about 4 in 10 American approve of the President's job performance and this has remained relatively steady throughout his Presidency. While there has been a great deal of discussion over possible people to take advantage of the "Trump vote" (Josh Hawley, Nikki Haley, Tom Cotton are names that come to mind), I wonder if a member of the Trump clan may try to forge a political dynasty.
Regardless of whether President Trump leaves office in 2021 or 2025, will one of his children attempt to run for office themselves? If they do, will they go after their father's job as President or a seat in Congress or something else? Could they be elected to Congress? Could they find themselves in a position of another Republican administration?
President Donald Trump is now hospitalized at Walter Reed medical center as he is treated for COVID-19. We all hope that the president, the first lady, and everyone else has has tested positive recovers quickly and without complication.
But it is hard not to think about the political implications of this illness. What happens if a presidential candidate cannot serve after the election campaign has begun? How will it affect the campaign? I answered some of these on Twitter this morning, and the editors here at AMA asked me to come answer your questions on Reddit tonight. I am a professor in the Department of Government at Georgetown University, specializing in political parties and particularly presidential nominations. My perspective on this question draws heavily on the research I’ve done with Marty Cohen, David Karol and John Zaller on the nomination process, including our book The Party Decides: Presidential Nominations Before and After Reform and related works I’m just wrapping up a textbook on Political Parties, coauthored with Seth Masket, which will be out from W.W. Norton in the spring.
So … what do you want to know?

EDIT: So, this was fun. I'm afraid I didn't get to everyone. But it's been almost two and a half hours, and I need to write some peer review reports. Thanks all.
