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.

  • Even Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho is better. He didn't seem as mean.

    • He actually looked at and acknowledged results, and made a decision to move forward based on the outcome of those results. We should be so lucky!

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.
