Who cares what people do with their own or other people’s genitals as long as all parties are fully capable of giving their uncoerced, enthusiastic consent? Being single is not a curse nor is it indicative that someone is flawed. Being Aro or Ace or Grey or Demi is perfectly valid. Why are Conservatives so fixated on genitals and what they or others do with them?

So, "God has blessed me with a smart, Christian woman."

If she exists, she may be Christian, but she's not smart.

Tim Scott did a romance. He’s totally normal and desirable and potus material. Oh, wait. This is America and despite much sacrifice and hard fought battles for freedom and equality, black people do not have anything like a level playfield. We finally, after a couple hundred years or so, elected a black potus because he was brilliant and charismatic and inspiring and handsome and effervescent. Tim Scott isn’t those things. But he’s for sure definitely maybe taken.

It's really pitiful hat it seems to even be a requirement (not in the legal sense, but in the popularity vote sense) that a candidate for the presidency be married.

It's even more pathetic when candidates for the presidency have to go to such lengths as Tim Scott has done in order to meet that criteria which isn't even a legal criteria.

We are once again reminded that in America, what the populace thinks is required in a president rumps any and all legal criterion set down for the position, no matter how venerable (or worse, sensible) those legal criterion may be.

I blame Heir Apparent Envy. How can you start an autocracy of 1000 years if you don't know who reigns after Daddy?

I had a high school friend who had a girlfriend in Tennessee, which is kind of like Georgia's Canada.

She drove a new Corvette.

I'll bet Scott's girlfriend has a Corvette, too.

This is so like that sports person who claimed to have a girlfriend in Canada but it turned out never did. I forget his name but Scott obviously hasn't. Must have thought to give the lie another spin,

I guess we'll meet Tim Scott's girlfriend about the same time that Trump reveals his infrastructure plan.

Or his tax returns.

Yeah some of it got revealed but not because he revealed them.

I think Tim Scott's girlfriend is imaginary. But if he thinks he will need a spouse to be first lady, he should just marry Lindsey. Problem solved!

I kinda hope they could be happy together. They both seem so pent up.

And now Tim Scott says that the only reason Republicans care about this is that he is Black, like he just found out the GOP is full of bigots.

I donno... Andrew Jackson's neice was "first lady"... which is a ridiculous title (and "job") in this world anway. What is the spouse or significant other of a cis-woman, gay or lesbian president supposed to do, and for that matter, what is the liklihood of any spouse or significant other of any person with enough ambition and sociopathy to become president in the 21st century going to care about china patterns or "leading a crusade" for some noncontroverial cause?

Doug Emhoff is Second Gentleman. He's doing such a good job that he's the only one in the whole danged bunch they don't want to impeach.

Who's going to do the useless stuff that a First Lady has to do because she's there and she can't just do nothing, unless she's Melania?

Melania completely destroyed the Rose Garden. That makes her a true member of the Trump Administration, whose motto was "if it's not broke, break it."

Are you saying an assistant conjured the blood red conifers and bone white stick bundles? Maybe.
