I wouldn’t vote for a guy married to a guy to be president

No. He sells small anal vibrators and you sell massive black dildos.

According to who? Cruz’s religious views were an issue, Trump’s coarseness was an issue, Clinton’s womanizing was an issue. You don’t get to decide what matters to people, nor should you.

A gay man would do very poorly among Hispanics and blacks in the general election, making him an unlikely candidate for the party that relies on those demographics.

His sexuality would matter a lot less to white democrats, but a large segment of white republicans would be mobilized to prevent a gay man from being elected and it would overwhelm the white democrat vote.

In the end he’d lose worse than Hillary

Wants to abolish the Electoral College, literally pack the Supreme Court, and literally worked against ICE. He is a radical imbecile.

Comparing someone who is in a stable, loving relationship with another man to Presidents who have brazenly committed adultery multiple times and have had numerous accusations of sexual assault is probably not a wise comparison to make, and I’m a Trump supporter. As to Cruz, I actually have a lot of respect for him personally. He’s faithful to his family and his wife. He seems to live out what he preaches, even if he does come across as a religious zealot at times.

Well then no because the big black dildo market is such a niche market that you’d have to really understand your customer base to excel.

But his hook is closing the deal with a freshly tossed salad, and singing Broadway show tunes.

Mayor Pete has certainly never made gay sex a theme of his campaign. So I think that says more about you than it does him.

Most voters have no clue on a candidate’s particular policy views in the general election, other than the macro Republican vs Democrat policy talking points of the day. Readily identifiable characteristics (attractiveness, gender, race, sexuality, religion, personality and party affiliation) are what determine who an individual votes for in the overwhelming majority of cases. I’d wager the percentage of voters who genuinely weigh the policy differences and make an educated decision they hadn’t already made on the previously listed basis is well below 10%.

Being so arrogant as to think your values are universal isn’t wise, but here you are.

We might just get to see this play out in South Carolina. They'll grease the palms of a few black pastors down there, but they can't buy off the whole congregation. We would get an honest reaction from them.

Even if you accept that as true. That’s the 10 percent that decide the election.
