  1. 5:17 and that's really what it is at the end of the day. Many such cases of people of color debasing themselves for that khaki clad Nantucket validation even though at most they get invited to the nearby kiddie table and even then only on very very conditional basis. The second they "step out of line" they feel the ire of their own "friends". In this respect I feel a mouse's tea spoon of pity for him

  2. trump does not have charisma… Trump is just a bully and the maga crowd think he wins, so they love it. Vivek is a nerd, and has no chance. Neither does Vance. Or any of them. They need another bully. But who would that be?

  3. Kushner, Hegseth, Vance, Cruz, Hawley, Cotton , I'll stop .Your elite institutions have produced people without morality or ethics, why is that? How Kushner got into Harvard tells me more about Harvard then anything. Your Culture is ill.

  4. Something about this comes across as bully adjacent and doesn't feel great. A lot of the things the clip is making fun of are admirable qualities to me, like being unusual or standing out from the crowd.

  5. Hm, I think you guys are omitting that a large part of his lack of popularity has to do with him being Indian. Meaning, anybody else would be getting a lot less negative attention if they aren’t Indian. You guys are omitting the anti-Indian and anti-Hindu hatred being culturally perpetuated, especially in light of what happened in Aurora, IL. And Americans on both the left and right have some weird contempt for successful Indian Americans in general. Any other candidate wouldn’t have to deal with the same obstacles and barriers.

  6. So Acton is up by almost 5 % with the latest poll being 5 days ago before the Ad or as the Ad aired… I would like to see a new poll since the Ad and how he is doubling down on it….The predications market Polymarket has Acton 80% to win and Vicake 20% to win….. since the predications market has done better than polling I think Vicake will lose and let's hope there is no other place he could run for office…..

  7. So this guy stinks? What about George Bush and Willie Horton, or Reagan in Mississippi supporting "states rights" after civil rights workers were killed?

  8. Did anyone question how a failed wannabe lawyer gets his hands on intricate, complicated private business contracts and dealings, and then has the knowledge to understand it? I didn't think so.

  9. I wonder if the host or Torre have looked in the mirror and heard themselves speak. Vivek has a magnetic presence and is an incredible orator. He's also handsome, has a really nice smile and is far better looking than both. BTW why is Torre not concerned about Cubano Marco Rubio. Give Cubano a pass.
