Back to topic. Would love to hear what Trump supporters think of his VP pick.
A never Trumper turned sycophant, how does that sit with the MAGA crowd?
I’d find that a bit suspect.
I would have preferred Vivek for VP. However, Vivek would do well in a cabinet position too. Looking forward to him running in 2028.
What is more likely, a US president with an Indian background or one with a Chinese (like Andrew Yang). That glass ceiling seems to be even higher than the one for women at this point.
No idea.
I’m not interested in ethnicity.
I’m interested in policy.
And that’s how it should be, in my opinion.
Btw., the missing apostrophes in your post hurt my eyes… 
well played
You are right–should have said South Asia although traditionally, a small part of India was included in SE maps.

Yeah, lots of Indians in Bangkok and Singapore, too!
He was a marine. He’ll know his role, shut his mouth and bide his time.
He’s a smarmy turdboy. Give him mayor Pete’s nothing job.
Curious why you think so.
I’ve heard him speak.
He speaks well and is spot on with his viewpoints. Far, far better than Biden, Trump, or any other current politician.
OK. That’s a clear opinion. Mine differs. I hear him as an arrogant smarmy nerdboy knowitall. No thanks.
While he may be a better debater/interview than Trump or Biden, so are the snails eating my flowers.
Anyway, back to the sky. It is falling over half the electorate due to paranoid random media presences.
The GOP Platform Is a Hoax—Don’t Fall for It | Opinion - Newsweek
If you believe the headlines, the Republican party’s 2024 platform “softens” its stance on abortion and same-sex marriage at the behest of former President Donald Trump. Trump supposedly moderated his position to win support from suburban women, independents, and the vast majority of Americans who oppose the extreme abortion bans enacted in many states over the past two years. Don’t be fooled by this transparent attempt to hoodwink voters.
First, the “scaled-back” platform is no less extreme than the party’s previous positions. True, it does not call specifically for a federal ban or say outright that laws permitting any termination of pregnancy are unconstitutional, as anti-abortion advocates wished. Instead, the platform declares that the Constitution “guarantees that no person can be denied Life or Liberty without Due Process,” and claims credit for giving “power to the States and to a vote of the People” to “pass Laws protecting those Rights.”
So, while it softens the GOP’s stance on abortion it also promotes democracy and the will of the “voters.”
To be clear, this is a full-throated endorsement of states’ prerogative to ban abortion with no or limited exceptions, forcing pregnant patients to reach the brink of death before receiving care and to sacrifice their health and fertility to preserve even an embryo or fetus that cannot survive.
It also endorses something else, anything else really, something not this at all.
At the very least, “a vote of the People” can authorize a national ban.
Uh huh. That’s democracy and voting for you. 
It looks like Trump is going to win for sure now. The Democrats are divided over Biden’s senile performance and Biden is too stubborn to quit.
What is good is that Bill Ackman and Elon Musk have not only endorsed Trump but are pumping money in. Musk will be giving US$45 million a month to help Trump win. That’s how far Democrats have pushed them.
Do many here know who Amber Rose is? CNN’s Van Jones certainly is worried about her.
Never heard of her before last night.
Bernie Sanders so funny… He never said anything when Zuckerberg dropped 400 Million to fund Democrats and Biden getting elected now he is upset Elon Musk is donating money to the GOP. He doesn’t mind Soros bankrolling Democrats
Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, is donating $45 million a month to the Trump campaign. If democracy is to survive in the US, we need to overturn Citizens United and move to public funding of elections. We need a government that represents all, not just billionaires.
Some interesting interviews from the convention. Michael Tracey asks good questions. He could use a small towel though! Timestamped at 1:02:47
“I realize Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, White, gay or straight, it’s all love. And that’s when it hit me, these are my people. This is where I belong,” she said in her speech.
Jones remarked, “That is a young woman of color. She’s describing the experience a lot of people have, feeling that maybe if you’re around too many liberals you might get criticized too much, or you might not be able to speak your mind. And she spoke to it really well.”
