Uh ... yea ... make is needed. Even for black people.

I'd like to see it. Depends on what the story is though. Is it going to pick up where Spectre left off? Then Elba's age is fine.
Actors frequently play characters younger than their actual age.
@mrbojangles25:
HW Bush was a one term President. He was a bureaucrat/administrator his career, even as a VP, and lucked in to his only term as President, riding the coat tails of Reagan. Junior was a figurehead while Dick Cheany manipulated the country in to invading a country. The other Bush members hold little to no power or influence in national politics. Jeb Bush's presidential campaign started on life support and he never got it off.
The Kennedys haven't been relevant in a long time. They have a congressional representative. Whoop-dee-doo. They hold zero political power right now. None.
The Rockefellers are rich ... that's it. They're right up there with Gates, Sachs, and the Koch brothers. While nice, they technically only wield political influence through money, not actual political ability.
The Clintons, OTOH, have been a mainstay of the Democratic Party since the late 80s. Bill went from an unknown governor, to probably the best and most beloved president the US has had in 50 years. He's been a keynote speaker at every DNC convention since 1988. He and his wife both attacked President Obama, yet not only remained influential, but have actually gained influence. Hillary served as SecState and has now brow-beaten the Democratic Party in to nominating her for President. When it's all said and done, the Clintons will have served more time as President of the United States than any other family in history.
So yea ... the Clintons are, effectively, a dynasty in American politics.
I believe Bernie Sanders was in on it from the beginning. He knew he had no shot. He knew that it was pre-determined that Hillary would be the nominee.
I believe he did everything he did in an attempt to push the United States more to the left and for a position in Hillary's White House that will allow him to do that.
I also believe Hillary will screw him over royally when she gets elected. The Clintons hold grudges a long time and Bernie made her look bad this election. The DNC is showing it. Someone will have to pay and it will be Bernie.
Yeah or she might take a lesson from Obama and bring a former competitor in, you know, keep it cool.
Seriously though that sketch brings up a good point; Obama and Clinton vied for the same position. And it all worked out. Does no one remember what it was like? Pretty damn vicious!
Obama did that to survive, politically. The Clintons are the closest thing this country has to royalty in the US. They have connections everywhere. Obama had to appease them and the Sec State position was the best fit for her.
Closest thing? You mean after the Bush family, Kennedy family, Rockefeller, and so forth?
I don't think so; it was Bill Clinton, now it's Hilary. That's not royalty or a legacy. Maybe we will see Chelsea in the future, but I doubt it.
Bush - One term president and his figurehead son who didn't know what was going on
Kennedy - Not relevant since the 70s.
Rockefeller - Lulz
The Clintons have dominated the dominant political party for the last twenty five years. They impose their will on it, and thus, the country.
@LJS9502_basic: It's not tinfoil hat time to acknowledge that the Clintons have had the run of the Democratic Party for over 20 years. HRC went on to be a Senator and then ran for President against Obama (in which Obama and his wife repeatedly called her unqualified). But all of the sudden, they offer her SecState? Yea, the Clintons have power in the Dem Party. That's not a conspiracy theory, that's simply fact.
