Default Was the "I voted for Trump" part of the gameplan?

This has really bugged me for the whole series. The fact that Raph is a gay man, of mixed race, living in a country he wasn't born in "claims" to have voted for Trump.

And NO-ONE in the house has really pulled him up on it. There was one small exchange about it when he came up with the line "I thought the country needed new leadership" and that was the end of it.

Now maybe none of the housemates are intelligent enough to debate politics since they don't even know when Brexit is happening or that it IS happening but still.

There are a number of different options here, none of which paint Raph in a pleasant way:

1. He told an out and out bare faced lie to get into the house.
2. He's a hypocrite who's more interested in the American economy than human rights.
3. He's an idiot who thought it would be cool to go against the popular opinion. Not stopping to think that sometimes the popular opinion is just that because it's the correct one.

Either way, on any of the above I would really like him to be challenged much more on this.

It's the one thing left that will mean I will never be happy with a Raph win.
