I would strongly disagree. Vivek is about values over religion as are many Americans young and old. The evangelical vote is not monolithic.

Vivek is a superb actor. Better than all of the other candidates (even Trump). He has a great show going, and I enjoy it immensely, because he demolishes the other candidates with such skill.

Vivek will not do any of the things he talks about. But he will do things with more flair than his predecessors. He will do what his big money investors ask him to do. Same as it ever was.

And being a from a first-generation immigrant family, raised in a Hindi culture is a legitimate disqualification for President of the United States in my book. I have worked with too many people from India. It takes several generations to weaken the bonds of that culture. Recent immigrants and their offspring are still fully immersed in it.

Their perceptions, rules, reactions, and tolerances are very different from ours, and we ignore that at our own peril.

I do like the food. Bollywood makes some entertaining films. Almost all the medications that I trust are made in India. So are the lenses in the cameras I use. There are very strong family ties and support systems which are admirable. There is value in the culture, which we can copy into ours.

We don't need a Brahmin ruler with the corruption and the caste system that comes with Hindi culture. We already have too much of those tendencies in our native culture.
