Vance gay
The only people surprised that Donald Trump chose a white guy as his running mate were a couple of senators who had twisted themselves into obsequious knots in an effort to prove they were worthy of being on a ticket with a card-carrying racist.
South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott upended his being as a “confirmed bachelor” because Trump intimated he was in the running for the number-two slot. Scott found his first girlfriend in decades—she’s white, already has kids and they met at church—and may (or may not) be getting married in August.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, born to undocumented immigrants (who later became naturalized) from Cuba, was willing to give up his Senate seat (two candidates from the same state cannot be on a ticket) for an opportunity to be Trump’s recent Mike Pence.
Both men did what Republicans ache for as a party representing white people: told white America what it wants to hear: that there’s no racism in the U.S., but people of color still are dangerous—especially immigrants like, well, Rubio’s parents were.
