Most Americans think it’s gross to select minority candidates based on their race. If you’re a lying, corrupt, incompetent, moronic sack of shit, but you’re a white man, they’ll elect you president.

He wasn't selected because of his race. He was selected because he's famous and good at Twitter. It's not that complicated.

  • Which says a lot about Republican voters. This is how we get Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho. What stupid fucking criteria for electing a political leader.

  • Substitute an otherwise identical black guy and he doesn’t win.

    • Obama won, and he was just a one-term senator without any major achievements and no particularly unique platform. Just because we liked the guy and thought he sounded sincere. I don't agree with you. The vast majority of American voters aren't racist.

      And I agree that reality TV fame is an idiotic reason to elect a candidate, btw. But most people (in all parties) are unserious idiots.
