I mean logically yes, but all evidence points to the contrary.
Ironic that this guy is the antithesis of every value that Republicans profess to hold. >

In reality he’s perfect, he’s a liar and a grifter with no morals. >

But he's gay so you know most of his voters were holding their noses as they ticked his box >

I don't know, I bet there was a lot of them already excited to say "I can't be homophobic. I voted for a gay guy in 2022." >

Outwardly, yes. It's just a card to play in that case >

Oh 100% just a card they think means something when it doesn't >

doublethink i guess >

At this point I'm just waiting for the sexual predator accusations. We've hit almost everything else on "republican bingo". >

This guys gonna fuck around and end up a Republican president if he doesn’t quit lying! >

I’ll throw myself in front of a speeding train if this shitbag winds up being our first gay president. >

Me thing Donald Trump proved to the world is the saying that “in America anyone can become President”.   At this point who COULDN’T be President? >

The communists, socialists, etc. still probably wouldn't get too far. >

A literal seditionist made it 4 years and hasn’t been charged with a coup for over two years. >

Yet Bernie and all the other more progressive dems are still the bad guys. You see my point? I can't tell you how many people I've talked to that said they would choose him over the other, and they think they're centrists. It's maddening, and then when you try to point out the propaganda, they say it's not propaganda, and I'm just crazy. >

oh this just keeps getting better. This plus the Brazil investigation is just -- classic GOP. >

How did none of this come up when Republicans vetted him as a candidate? 
I went through a more rigorous vetting process just getting a job waiting tables. >

My guess is the GOP cares more about if you'll tow the party line and push the rhetoric you're told over what you actually stand for, if you buy it all for real (like MTG) that's an even bigger plus.. If you look at it like they are trying to find the political equivalent to late night sales show hosts their candidates lately make way more sense. >

I agree that they prioritize toeing* the party line, but wouldn’t they vet candidates anyway? 
Even if they’re willing to support a candidate with skeletons in their closet, they’d be better off knowing what the skeletons are so that they have a plan for if they’re exposed.
*I had to look up if it’s towing or toeing. Apparently it’s toeing, which seems wrong but whatever.
