I guess he’ll become a Chinese citizen when his brain lives in a tank with tubes coming from it. He fucked up Britain while a citizen there…

That said Ian McDonald’s satirical portrait of him in Luna: new moon is fantastic. He’s a bloated multi-hundred year old baron Harkonnen kept alive on a space station by advanced medicine, delayed senescence, low gravity, and spite, with a young Chinese wife (of another rival clan) . He’s a marvelously hateable villain.
The whole bachelor and probably gay thing is perhaps a big part of why bachelors wouldn’t have much chance. I think at this point in history you’d have better luck running as an openly gay man than as a straight single man with gay rumours swirling.
To be fair, 9 years ago I would have said the odds of a black man getting elected any time in the next couple of decades were pretty slim. Who knows what a culturally Muslim atheist bisexual might accomplish (forming an awkward coalition of progressives and those who just had Muslims so much they will vote for someone who they see as having rejected Islam out of spite).
