Because I have ears and eyes, and can reason without the use of a national propaganda machine, aka the news. Plus the results from the first debate say the same thing.Why? Because the media keeps telling you that? The first primary is months away and already, you're declaring no-one elese stands a chance?
I Agree 100%Because I have ears and eyes, and can reason without the use of a national propaganda machine, aka the news. Plus the results from the first debate say the same thing.
I disagree with your claims, president Trump is a great American Hero and Patriot, and I look forward to Trump 2024 MAGA
His identity isn't presumed, it's a fact
He has changed the Republican party for certain and has unified the rank and file. So in one sense you are correct. Potential candidates for the Republican party also understand they need that current rank and file to get nominated. He has most certainly not unified those potential candidates under MAGA however.Donald J. Trump has unified the party under MAGA, you're a minority and left the party prior to President Trumps win in 2016, Actions speak louder than words
The Complete List of President Trump's Accomplishments
Yes. He claims to believe in one God, which is quite possible under Hinduism. (The many gods can be seen as manifestations of one god, Brahman.)Is he a Hindu?
The difficulty here is that if the Republicans choose someone other than Trump, Trump doesn't just vanish and disappear.I do not.
If the Republicans choose Trump as the nominee, they are essentially handing the election to whoever the Democrats run. The only people that are still on the Trump train are the MAGA diehards (of which you appear to be one), but there are not enough of them to win an election. Any candidate that the Republicans run needs to appeal to a much broader base than Trump has.
Very aggressive and not a typical example of a humble person coming from the Hindi culture. In fact he is scary.
Yes. He claims to believe in one God, which is quite possible under Hinduism. (The many gods can be seen as manifestations of one god, Brahman.)
And, of course, there's the worst nightmare for Republicans: Trump gets angry enough he launches his own independent campaign. If that happens, they are guaranteed to lose (Republicans' chances of winning might not be great with Trump as the nominee, but they'd be better than if he was an Independent running against the actual nominee). Would he do it? I don't know. While I could see Trump being angry enough to launch an independent campaign even if it sinks the chances of the Republicans, at the same time such would be a guaranteed loss for Trump as well, and I'm not sure he'd be willing to embark on a completely hopeless attempt.
I think you could make the case that he was the "winner" in the sense that he did the best job of getting his name out. Haley crushed him on foreign policy, and several other candidates spent significant time attacking him/his policies, but all of that required talking about him, which is something that he wasn't getting enough of before the debate. It's somewhat a case of "there's no such thing as bad publicity."I found it fascinating that a CNN group of voters from Iowa felt he won the debate. That alone shows he has a chance.
A good question, worthy of answer.Appreciate the question that provoked me to research, who is Vivek Ramaswamy?
A nice bit of bio. It will inspire some and repulse a few.He was born in Cincinnati Ohio to Hindu parents from Tamil India
Not a fan of private schools generally, but the Jesuits are firm backers and practitioners of rigorous education.He was schooled from 8th-12th grade at a jesuit catholic school
So a BA and a JD? No actual "tech" backgroud for the bio-tech entrepreneur. I'll keep that in mind whenever I read about him as a "bio-tech guy". (Frankly he didn't feel like an actual tech guy, more of a poser/finance guy.)He attended (Harvard BA) and (Yale JD)
He got a scholarship from a Soros fund or foundation and that's a taint apparently? I seriously an Soros did anything other than read his name on a list of recipients after they'd been selected. It's not like his superPAC gets millions in Soros money, is it?He was awarded a fellowship by Paul Soros, the older brother of George Soros
A lot of Americans abstain or refrain from eating animals or animal products. Some for health reasons, some for religious reasons, some for moral reasons. This isn't as much of a problem as you seem to think. (And if he were to get the nomination, I'm sure the US beef lobby would back him over "Beef banning Biden" anyway.)He has openly criticized the killing of animals for food, with himself being a Hindu vegetarian
Nobody likes "big pharma", but without a very deep dive it is not clear what his actual ties are. Some is probably related to "options" to acquire certain drugs he's gotten control of the IP for. (And he seems to have made most of his money on what looks like a pump-and-dump scheme involving one of those drugs.)He is closely aligned with Pfizer and big pharma in research partnerships through his several biotech companies
They probably won't nominate him and sadly these might be the reasons. (I wish it was because he comes off as a tech-bro corpratist authoritarian, but simple bigotries will probably be the reason.)Conclusion: I don't see a Jesuit schooled,, Paul Soros backed person, who is a Hindu vegetarian, and aligned with big pharmaceutical, being the republican nominee for president of the US
Nobody likes "big pharma", but without a very deep dive it is not clear what his actual ties are.
And here is where the institutional and cultural normalism of Christianity can help him. By saying simply God, people assume that he means Jesus because in the US the two are synonymous for most people.Which one?
Still, I’d like to see Diwali celebrated in the White House.
