    Genuine question; will the republican primary voters forgive him for being a turk? Because the name Mehmet might be somewhat of a liability for a republican, even if he is a daytime TV king.

            Wikipedia has a fantastic policy on not deadnaming people. Unfortunately that also applies to this type of idiot.

      He passes as white, which I think is enough for the average Republican.
