    He knows hes never going be the nominee which is why he has to ass kiss so much. ITs so pathetic that the only way to become known in the GOP is by ass kissing Trump. Your agenda nor policies or anything matter. Its one huge ****ing cult.

    How do people have any respect for MAGAs in real life. Anytime i see a MAGAT I just shake my head

    I think he's vying for a cabinet position.

    He went to a Catholic school. Pretty sure he doesn't believe in avatars or whatever, and like most of us, doesn't believe in all the fairy tales from old scripture either. It's really about the values.

    The MAGA base does believe in the old scriptures, and yet Vivek is actively courting them.

    Looking over his profile, he went to St. X in Cincinnati, the best all-boys private school in the area. He is a Hindu through and through and the evangelical base will see right through it. There is nothing wrong with him being Hindu for the position he is running for. He is charismatic (sorry Ron) and smart (sorry Donald), but he is Hindu (Sorry Vivek). That and his takes stink (bomb China until 2028 and we magically achieve semiconductor independence then Taiwan is all China’s or Ukraine belongs to Russia or championing anti-woke despite being a very obvious beneficiary to the civil rights movement).

    If he was white, I wouldn’t even know his name. But because he is brown and saying populist and anti-liberal ideas, he gets extra attention. Well actually if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t know his name.

    Donald Trump is going to be re-nominated and Joe Biden is going to be re-elected.

    Do you know who the oldest person to be elected US President was?

    Also, you do realize that people aren't immortal and that Joe Biden is clearly not the same he once was?

    There are many jobs with less responsibility with age limits.

    The GOP got in bed with the deplorables and now they are holding the GOP hostage. It's like sleeping with a crazy chick.

    And yet you know deep inside your mind that I am right.

    When fascism is on the table, a toddler running in opposition is still preferable.

    If Evangelicals actually cared about your religion, they wouldn't have embraced Trump and his obviously fake religiosity. If Ramaswamy can signal that he'll deliver Evangelicals what they want, they can do whatever reasoning contortions are necessary to say it's alright to vote for him -- while simultaneously arguing that Biden isn't Christian enough.

    He's a self-described practicing Hindu.

    You aren't wrong.

    But a lot of Evangelicals believe people of other faiths are in league with the devil. There has never been a non-Christian president in this country. Say what you will about Trump, but he was a Christian.

    It's not about values per se. Trump has none and he was embraced. It's about whether or not they feel you are in their boat. I don't think they can see a non-Christian as one of them. They'll stick with Trump or DeSantis.

    From a theological perspective, Hindus are in league with the devil.

    He is catering to his MAGA base.

    Again. Bidens most important regulators who actually run the country are all young and smartest people in the world at their positions.

    The FTC, FCC, commerce department, NLRB, CIA, NSA, pentagon, USTR are all staffed by the most competent leaders in those positions we've had in 40+ years

    The president doesn't really do anything other than rubberstamp and oversee what his Staff do.

    Barack Hussein Obama says otherwise

    Don't tie your boat to this guy, as much as I hate to say this - stick with DeSantis.
