    I don't know. That may just a "conspiracy" @Yvonne Smith. His bio never made sense, but it is done now. We'll see what happens next.

    According to this (and I do not know if it is correct or not), Ramaswamy has never been a Republican, and contributed to Hilllary’s campaign in 2016. This is from his contribution to Actblue.
    I do not see this as necessarily bad, because I have never been a registered Republican either, and just vote independent.
    When Trump first ran, none of us knew how he would turn out to be as a president, and many people voted for Hillary just for that reason, and later became Trump supporters.

    You never know. He could be a well-spoken fraud trying to deceive the people. Remember Trump was a Democrat for most of his life and contributed to Bill Clinton's campaign and many others.

    This is just one more problem with political parties. Most folks are forced to hold their nose and participate in a party in order to get any traction. Non-party affiliated people have almost no chance. I hate political parties.

    So did the Founders, but they usually referred to them as "Factions".

    One thing I'm fairly certain of, is Ramaswanny will get the Trump supporters if Trump doesn't run. I just listened to him on Twitter and just one statement to Chris Christie was "Donald Trump was the best President of the Century" something like that. Kinda makes me wonder about him, sorry, I don't trust easily.

    I still believe it's more about Christian Conservatives for a lot of people. It wouldn't matter if the parties were abolished, which they probably won't be, it would still be about people for themselves, or people that know if their country is ok, then they are best off.

    People are tribal for sure. I agree, they would find some other rallying cry. I still hate political parties.

    Agreed on electing that guy, honestly, couldn't stand his name after the Towers fell, and then when I got to hear what he was about, I really wanted to puke.

    Has anyone heard the video podcast Candice Owen did with Vivek? Super good I thought! Here's the link, some time ago but in case someone didn't see it:
    5 months ago,

    Whose name (that you agree on “electing that guy”) could you not stand after the towers fell, @Denise Evans ? You completely lost me on this one , please explain.
    I can’t make your statement fit with Biden or Obama, so not sure who you are referring to .

    Yeah, I kinda bypassed that because Bush was President on 9/11. The “like” was for the Candice/ Ramaswamy interview.

    I do not think that I had even heard of Obama until he suddenly showed up to run for president in 2008, @Denise Evans .

    well neither had I, but I voted for the other guy because I never liked him since I heard him talking, or the lack thereof, to Joe the Plumber.
