How to Raise a Politician

Someone should write a book or something about how to raise your children to be politicians.

It seems that all of the best politicians and political leaders were raised in politically active families. There’s a reason the United States has a few political “dynasties”. It should be fairly straightforward to write a plan for preparing your children for a life of political service.

It’s almost too late for a young adult to independently decide to get into politics. (It’s not, really, but people who have lived and breathed politics since childhood, and whose education aligns with that goal, have such an advantage over other candidates.) Great politicians have had political discourse in the home where they were growing up.

Also, it seems like many potential candidates have issues in their pasts that hurt them at election time.
