Guess what: genitals don't qualify someone to be president

...they don't disqualify anyone, either.

Have all presidents so far had one type of genitals? Yes. Did they posses other qualities that got them to the point of being president? Yes. Were some more qualified than others? Yes. But not because of their plumbing.

I can't believe this is even being discussed.

would probably be a good thing. I am convinced now. That is my big picture opinion, not individual candidate opinion. I rule out the crazies male and female.

Some people apparently do think it matters.

Btw. Yes, I meant dud in the title.

it's equally stupid to vote for someone just because they are.

I think the president should have genitals.

Hitler was missing a testicle and look what happened.
