Houston’s George Bush airport was named for George H W Bush in 1997 when he was still alive. Anchorage, Alaska’s Ted Steven’s was still alive when it was renamed after him in 2000.

I specifically said “living couple”, not just a living individual. The latter I understand. The former seems strange, especially since they’re both accomplished public servants individually.

Both came up politically in the Little Rock area and are the most identifiable political couple probably in American history. It’s not out of the blue.

I'm not sure what's with the downvotes. At no point did I suggest they don't deserve it. I just find it highly unusual, and I don't think I've ever heard of this thing happening before.

Yeah, we get it. It still rings a bit ficticious for some reason.

Well yeah, there’s been 30 years of ridiculous anti Clinton propaganda. Just saying “the Clintons” makes like a third of white men over the age of 40 irrationally angry.

A lot of women also despised hillary- even if they werent familiar with the “kill list”. She was seen as uppity, judgemental, a b-word. With her flexing her intelligence and confidence- spearheading healthcare reform in 94 and dissing the tammy wynette archetype, she was a clear threat to the traditional values that millions of women cherish.

Trump and clinton nearly split the white woman vote in 2016.

The downvotes are funny- On your comment above. I agree The name sounds made up. Who are these people in real life that would weigh in and downvote?
