He’s a great communicator, but putting forward a gay candidate, even if he’s white, would be a guaranteed loss at this point. It would galvanize the opposition. We’re still feeling the backlash to a half black man (Obama) being elected twice.

I hate that identity politics has this much of an effect on American politics but given the nations history, its not suprising.
