Well! Good for Trump! It's heart warming to see him try.

Well obviously he cant out-Trump Trump.

But if Donald isnt viable for whatever reason, it does seem like VR holds a lot of appeal for Trump voters. (As evidenced by his poll bump compared to other candidates, so Ive heard anyway).

Climate change is a hoax
Defund the FBI
Gigantor tax cuts.
Let Russia have its way with Ukr.
Etc

He has a shot at the Republican nomination, actually a pretty good one, IF Trump is taken off the board,
then I imagine he would capture virtually all the MAGA vote as 2nd choice. I suspect he's hedge betting on that.
It's not a bad play for the nomination and likely enough to win it in that case based on Trump's numbers.

He's like a faster-talking flim flam clone

Of Trump (imho)

(Fantine said "Pete Buttegieg" but we are completely agreed on the flim-flam)
"like an Internet Troll come to life," was the best description I've heard of him. But that's what people want, apparently.

I think you'll see either Trump or Vivek take the nomination. He's basically the MAGA booby prize if they don't get their first choice and he knows it.

I thought "God is real" was a strange slogan when I first heard this, but then I remembered some of my reading of the Vedas, and I realize it might be a kind of clever "dog-whistle", since it might appear to affirm Abrahamic beliefs on first glance, but the notion of God as "the Real" is even more present in Hinduism.

Biden and Harris celebrate Diwali in the White House. Kamala Harris was raised by a Hindu mother, and she talked about her trip to India as a child to visit relatives.

Just sayin.....
