Yes, I'm going there. And based on this logic, Barack Obama might as well should not have been nominated because Americans in the 21st century would never vote for an Ivy-League educated black man who was born in Hawaii, whose father was from Kenya, whose stepfather was a Muslim from Indonesia, whose middle name was Hussein, and whose last name was Obama (change the second letter to...oh fuck it ). And Hillary Clinton should never have been nominated because Americans would never have voted for any woman - let alone, one with the polarizing political history that Hillary Clinton had.
Furthermore, by this same logic:
1992-1996: "Americans will never vote for a draft-dodging, womanizing, Baby Boomer politician from a poor rural family in Arkansas!"
1976: "Americans will never vote for a Southern Baptist with no experience in Washington!"
1964: "Americans will never vote for a sordidly corrupt and always-scheming Texan!"
1959: "Americans will never vote for an Irish Catholic!"
1948: "Americans will never vote for a Democratic President five times in a row!
1932-1944: "Americans will never vote for a wheelchair-bound New York aristocrat four times in a row!"
Seems like a GREAT track record of predicting what American voters will do!
