My opinion is:

Vivek is the Classic Trojan Horse.

Try to remember...Barack Hussein Obama.

You are correct. Also a demagogue.

VIVEK-GPT I did no such thing. He came off as the grating, greasy, Soros-funded fraud everyone with a brain knew he was

His stock on PREDICTIT actually went down during the debate

Yes, and it clearly showed. Jared q

“Its only fair to ask Vivek if he really believes in multiple gods and goddesses who affect human behavior.”

Why bother asking? He’d just lie. He’s flip-flopped on so many things he’s said and done in his past, I wouldn’t trust any answer he’d give.

I didn’t watch, but if you’re right how can VR be VP if he isn’t qualified to be POTUS, based on his parents’ citizenship when he was born?

I saw the debate pretty much the same as you, except for Pence, who surprised me with his .. dare I say.. gravitas.

If he read the Constitution, how come he doesn’t know the meaning of natural born citizen?
____________________________
The meaning of the term is not as clear as it may seem. Vivek is a U.S. citizen by birth, but ‘naturally born’ is debatable. Only a clarifying Amendment or a Supreme Court decision will definitively answer that question. Objectively, what is important is to judge the candidate’s loyalty to America as well as his parents. In Obama’s case, both his and his parent’s qualities were sorely lacking, and yet the Country twice elected the disloyal SOB. You get what you vote for.

I liked nearly everything DeSantis said, but .. he came across a little whiny saying it IMO. But I want to hear more from him Vivek and Pence for sure.

Because natural born citizen isn’t defined as being born to two citizen parents until the Supreme Court says that’s the definition. The Supreme Court may never do that.

DeSantis was on fire!

The problem now for DeSantis is that he has cooked his goose with Trump. There is no way in hell he will be Trump’s VP. If he had decided not to run, Trump may have picked him, but no way now.

Ramaswamey is ineligible to be president. Both parents were citizens of india at the time of his birth so all 3 were under the jurisdiction of india. That means he is not a natural born citizen.

Unfortunately, the Constitution is honored more in the breech than the observance. By the definition of natural born citizen as understood by the Framers of the Constitution, Obama (if the birth certificate is not a fraud) and Chester Arthur were not eligible, as both had non-citizen fathers. Since the election of Arthur as Vice President took place in 1880, the precedent has been long established.

I believe those came out after the fact, and obama’s has never been proven.

Ramaswamey’s parents weren’t naturalized at the time of his birth. Anyone who thinks democrats won’t attack that and file charges, simply hasn’t been paying attention to their lawsuits against anyone and everyone.
It would cripple a ramaswamey run and every liberal commentator in America would suddenly care about the natural born citizen qualification in the constitution.
