Pete is a queer. That is all. Aside from queer, he has no qualifications to be President.
The idea seems to be to take a candidate that would be completely out of their depth on the world stage (and is therefore very controllable) and try to get them elected by saying that only evil intolerant people could object to them due to their sexuality rather than the elephant in the room of their profound weakness of their lack of standing on the world stage. It’s a false dilemma fallacy. It’s sort of like Harry Potter, with all the book burnings, only by now it has been overdone. I dont think anybody thinks this guy can do the job regardless of how good he is at English Lit class.
