Vivek has name recognition now, and if were to get a stint as VP, Secretary of State, or another prominent cabinet position, he could be a contender in 2028.
Exactly my thought @Ken Anderson. If he were chosen as VP, it would line him up for the next election and he could continue to drain the swamp. He is a little naïve as to what a single person can do, but he says the right things. One term as VP would bring him a focus he would have that Trump didn't for his first term. Trump thought the government could be run like a business and made decisions, especially personnel, based on that idea.
Did anyone else hear (I heard on our rinky-dink local radio station) that only 117 people voted in that Iowa caucus?
He is going to be in New Hampshire with President Trump at his next rally; so that will get Vivek started down the right pathway. Nikki Haley is refusing to debate DeSantis, and it seems to me that if they are unwilling to debate anyone but Trump, those campaigns are going to lose momentum also.
The Democrats were told to register as republican and vote for Nikki Haley, which is how she got her votes, @Denise Evans . that is what I have been reading this morning.
That sounds crazy to me, any American voter being told how to register and who to vote for but I don't doubt it goes on
I suspect a lot of that went on @Yvonne Smith since the Dems postponed their caucus until after South Carolina. Biden promised South Carolina democrats that they could have the first primary. I don't know where that puts New Hampshire with him. DeSantis is supposedly skipping New Hampshire to concentrate on South Carolina. Super Tuesday?
This actually happens all of the time in the primaries, @Denise Evans , from what I have read before. The democrats want the weakest republican on the ballot against whomever is on the democrat side; so in the primary caucus, they register as republicans to get in the opposing candidate that they want and can best control if they do happen to win. This is not for the regular presidential election we will have in November, just a temporary way to affect the other political party’s chosen candidate.
It was demonstrated that a lot of that went on during the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, but nothing was done about it and nobody was held accountable as usual.
For the Presidential election, party doesn't determine the slate of candidates, so affiliation doesn't matter except for the post-election analysis, where xx number of (party) voted for (candidate).
There was evidence, even interviews with people who had participated, but nobody cared. If Trump had done that however, it would have been screamed "Election Interference" from every rooftop in the media.
Yeah, I'm tired of asking "why", it's too disgusting to hear the same answers, nobody is doing a damn thing about it. Look what this country is allowing President Trump to go through?? Why he wants to help America I sure can't figure out, bunch of ingrates.
