It's that simple, congresscritters don't become nominees or president, you can claim that's not reality, but then what else to expect from a cultist......
Neither do any women or black men or women. The old rules no longer apply. Reality TV Stars don’t become President either, if we use that logic. People who resign after a half term don’t usually get the top job either. Well, maybe like 200 years ago there was a person.
Stay in your world of pipe dreams if you like.
