When Chuck decided to tell the world in a press conference that he was into sadomasochism, and he subsequently wins the election, it was a potential jump the shark moment for me. What a jerk to go against his wife's wishes, and the idea that the public, via their votes, embrace him, oh please.

Clinton was re-elected after lying about a bj from a female employee over 30 years younger than him. Less than 8 years ago, a mayor admitted that he was gay, and he was re-elected in a conservative midwestern town. He is now a leading contender for the US presidency.
Twenty years ago, I couldn't imagine that the mayor of Chicago would be a black gay woman, but it is.
Twenty years from now, could someone like Rhodes get elected? Maybe.
Leading contender?
