A Herschel perspective. How important is the R vs D next to a candidates name?

Hypothetically, what do we think the GOP narrative would be if Herschel had a D next to his name. A black man who fathered at least 4 kids from 4 different women, and held a gun to the head of his wife?

I'd venture to bet phrases like "welfare moms", "infidelity", "unChristian", "dead beat dad", "unfaithful", "fatherless homes", and racial phrases I can't even imagine.

Sad that we evaluate one's "character" by the R vs D.

Herschel would never have a D next to his; he wouldn't have gotten close to being on a ballot. With Rs, it seems all they have to do is say they want to run and love Trump, and boom, they're on the ballot.
