    I have been listening to some of what this guys says, and he seems to be really pro-America, as well as a political outsider.
    You all know that I am a total MAGA Trump supporter, but we still do not know who will be on the ballots for president for 2024 yet, for sure, and most anything can happen between now and Election Day.


    Anyway, so far, I like what this guys is saying, and how he feels about reviving America, and he also is/was a Trump supporter. I have never even heard of him until just a couple of weeks ago, and I think that he might be the first Hindee ever to run for president here. We have a lot of Hindee people in this country, and I think that he could have a good following, but I am not sure if it would be enough to get him elected or not.

    Here is a short video of his announcement to run for President on the Republican ticket.

    Yes, Pennsylvania, maybe ? I read it and forgot, but it is in Wikipedia.

    I had read something about him putting together an exploratory committee some time ago. I’d vote for him. We also have Tim Scott (likely) and Asa Hutchinson (declared) as well as Trump. Another “not a politician” would be welcome.

    I watch him in a couple of clips with Don Lemon.

    MG what a Moron Lemon was with his stupid questions and Vivek was nice to him.

    He seems like a decent guy with the right intent, but without financial backing he'll fade into the background. His poll numbers will end up low and he won't be eligible to appear in the televised debates.

    Well, he’s another one that is wealthy (worth 600 million in 2016 I think) so he might be able to do a lot just on his own.

    Don Lemon is reputed to be the stupidest person on U.S. TV.

    Brian Stelter has tried very hard to take that title from him.

    It is a good competition, and I have to rely on the opinions of others, as I never watch either man except through the clips of stupid things they say on the air.

    Maybe the stupidest newscaster but Joy Behar gets the trophy for the most ignorant.

    Now, so far as Ramaswamy goes, I guess I can claim ignorance because I really don’t know much about him. But I will…….

    Edit: Trump has a name for everyone so I wonder what he’s going to come up with for Ramaswamy.

    That very well could be but he definitely is bringing up some talking points that the other candidates are going to have to build into their own platforms.

    I think the entire cast of The View if the IQs were added together would not reach 100. Whoopie is ready to have major surgery at the hands of Jill Biden because she is a doctor, a fine doctor...of Education.

    Speaking of presidential candidates, I see that Larry Elder has tossed his hat into the ring.

    I suspect he is shooting for a VP slot. I don't think he's quite up for the top top yet. But then neither is Biden.
