Huh?
For so many reasons, Indians belong in the Republican coalition, and it is very wise politics for the Republicans to court them.
The Trump campaign has been courting them actively and effectively from the start of the first campaign. Ivanka is as well known in India as a Bollywood celebrity, and gets gushed over there. Mass rallies of Indian Americans for Trump (like the gigantic “Howdy Modi” stadium filler in Texas) have been occurring, and Indian-Americans have been regular guests at the Trump White House, celebrating Diwali for the cameras.
Structurally, the Dems are clearly aligned with India’s two worst enemies - Pakistan (read “Muslims”) and China.
When Trump denounces islamic terrorism, Indian-American crowds erupt. He could take a smoke break, waiting for the applause to subside. It is a real visceral thing for them.
This year, Indians are in a rage against China, after the most lethal border incursion in about fifty years. Indians have been uninstalling Chinese apps from their phones and boycotting Chinese products. The Indian Government has put a screeching halt to Chinese investment in Imdia, and appears to be on a world-class economic de-coupling drive from China. Meanwhile, the Democrats (and the Biden family itself), are clearly the pro-Chinese Party.
These are big levers, to pry Indian-American votes away from the Democratic Party, and President Trump has been steadily and energetically working the charm on his side.
Reminds me of the real names for 2 Kelley Moore paint colors....Dove White and White Dove
Every bit helps us. Think positive.
In addition to aligning over the Hindu/Muslim, or India/China issues; there might also be a BJP/Congress divide influencing Indian-Americans.
BJP-leaning voters may begin seeing the Republicans as the US corollary, while Congress Party-leaning (as well as, of course, communists) might see the Democratic Party as their US corollary. Like Iraeli Likudniks, or British Tories, BJP loyalists may view the Republicans as the ones aligned with their team.
Kind of like the Jews, the Socialist Bundists are Democrat, while the Zionists, who support Israel tend to be more Republican.
FAST?
Trump has made a concerted effort since DAY ONE of his presidency to elevate the importance of our relationship with India.
He speaks highly and often about India. I don’t recall any other president doing so for years!
Just like with Blacks, he has highlighted his support for them with REAL DEEDS not election time platitudes.
Trump will get UNPRECEDENTED support from Blacks, Hispanics, Indian Americans, Jews, and even Democrats all contributing to his LANDSLIDE victory.
Unprecedented support doesn’t nor needn’t mean a majority.
He doesn’t need that. Democrats as a political party, gain power by “blocks” of voters. Like 90% of the Black vote, but because of their dependence on these blocks they NEED to maintain ALL of that block. They CAN’T afford to lose even 10% of that vote.
If Trump were to pull just that amount of the Black vote, it’s CURTAINS for the Democrats. Trump is/has been doing this with many of the Democrat’s “blocks”. 10% here, 5% there, 20% there = LANDSLIDE!
Coattails = TOTAL control of the Federal government!
Presidency, Senate, House for (at least) 2 years!
Could a President Trump get anything done in TWO YEARS with a Republican House and Senate?
YOU BETCHA!
Uncle and Auntie are not jokes, they are gestures of respect.
Dolt!
The quote is out there.
Biden is one of the most racist people I know of who hold a political position. The DNC knows this so they sprinkled some Harris shade on the ticket.Harris HATES Biden.
“Just like with Blacks, he has highlighted his support for them with REAL DEEDS not election time platitudes.
Trump will get UNPRECEDENTED support from Blacks, Hispanics, Indian Americans, Jews”
On the flip side, no groups are peeling off of the Republican base.
“Coattails = TOTAL control of the Federal government!
Presidency, Senate, House for (at least) 2 years!”
...and Justice Ginsburg may not live that long.
I can think of a better solution than “courting the immigrant vote”.
My bad...typing in tub
Demographics is a bigger culprit than Democrats who are bad enough admittedly but the GOPe has enabled this
Even now most of them leave Trump to fight his own battles
I watched Kevin McCarthy on cspan the other day
I mean really....that’s best we can do?
Yep
Nashville has several Hindu temples
And they vote about 90% democrat
The darker the more likely it seems anecdotally
My son dated a gorgeous one and she was lefty ...her dad wasn’t though...I think she’s on my homepage
A spinal tap 11
Which is rare....most are not pretty but when they are some are the proverbial sewer pipe joke no question
