And by all reports I've seen, his parents were Indian nationals, not US citizens.
He likely had and may still have Indian citizenship.

The first sentence is true.
The second sentence seems to be conjecture.

Ramaswamy's Hindu faith doesn't bother me.

It does me; but not near as much as Mitt's added to Christianity does.

“sounds like Obama selling “hope and change” vague and then stabs those in the back with what is meant by what they said.”

His acolytes knew exactly what he meant.

I’d like to hear what he’d do differently to advance his policies.
Policies Good
Implementation weak

Hindus are against abortion except to save the woman’s life.

“Some say that to be a natural born citizen, that both of your parents must have been American citizens at the time of your birth. That ship has sailed.”

This is the crux of the matter. The current legally accepted definition of “natural born citizen” is someone who was a citizen at birth. Period.

If you want to add qualifiers to that, we’ll need to pass a law (or amendment) adding them. BTW, I would support that.

In the mean time, we shouldn’t be tying one hand behind our backs by rejecting some of our better candidates because they don’t meet a (currently) non-existent qualification.

Trump blew it by hiring swamp dwellers to fill too many government positions.

True that. Still thinking like a businessman, he hired well qualified individuals. But he neglected to vet them for political leanings opposed to his agenda.

I like him, regardless. He’s not a globalist, actually he’s exactly the opposite.

What is WEF, if not hard-line globalist?

MO ONE IS TRUMP 2.0. NOT NOW-—NOT EVER

This other ‘person’ is also NOT NBC, as I understand.

HE CANNOT LEGALLY BE PRESIDENT

He is “OUT OF NOWHERE” & I AM SURE HE IS NOT NBC.

OBAMA ‘came out of NOWHERE’ & look what that cost us.

BUT NOW we know he came out of Indonesia after being born in Kenya.

Hinduism is such a multi-faceted, heterogenous collection of belief systems that one can’t possibly say “Hindus this or that”. There would have to be hundreds of variations. In my experience, having had an Indian (Christian) wife who had many Hindu friends and the subject did come up, “pro-life” is not a common position among Hindus we came into contact with.

Kamala is the current VP. So that ship has sailed.

He had nothing to do with being named a Young Global Leader.

Interesting. Thanks for posting that link.

I’ll munch on what he said there, however, that video is not proof of him not being WEF.

No, he wasn’t. They put him on there without his permission. Besides, Trump was a leftist for decades. If the guy is even 1/4 as good as he sounds, he’d be hugely conservative.

Ramaswamy is going to appeal to intellectual conservatives - the erudite and academic types - even the nerdy futurists and philosophers - but this is a far narrower base than the one President Trump appeals to.

Don’t get me wrong, the philosophical and academic side of conservatism is crucial in this war of ideas, but President Trump’s knack for using common sense and pragmatism to reach a hundred million voters is something Ramaswamy does not share.

I have listened to him at length and I must admit I was impressed. I just know a heck of a lot of good solid Trump supporters whose eyes would glaze over after a couple minutes.

Not that Trump supporters are too dumb to follow him - that’s not what I’m saying at all. We Trump supporters are smart - but many of us are well past philosophical musings and just want a fierce fighter.
