    I'm in my 70s. I'm a hard-headed total complete Christian. Jesus, the Bible and me. I'm white as a ghost. I'd vote for Vivek in a heartbeat because that is what would be best for AMERICA. I don't care if he's the color of toast and I don't understand his religion. That's immaterial. If it works for AMERICA it works for me.

      I’m a Christian also 46 y/o retired military and disabled vet and disgusted that Trump is hawking the Holy Bible! How low can he go?! When will you people open your eyes and your ears?! Former failed president Trump is only in this presidential race for himself, not any of you people! He wants to be a dictator like his frenemies and want all of you people to worship him!What’s with Trump and lying about crowd size?! He and even the media have hyped up his latest rally in NJ and say it was 100k people?! It’s already been debunked…more like 5k maybe up to 10k people but that’s being generous! Look it up! Trump is compensating for something else, huh?! 😂I want to like PBD but damn, he’s blinded by White Evangelical Nationalists like the rest of you. 🤦🏻He has pockets of intelligence. And im not saying President Biden is perfect but he is the lesser of two evils, so to speak.You guys are on the wrong side of history, mark my words. 💙🇺🇸

      How is it racist to not vote for someone because they are Indian? She stated that it has nothing to do with IMMUTABLE characteristics and had everything to do with CULTURE. PBD follows up with, "When you were campaigning, did anyone confront you saying you're too brown for me" insinuating that Ann was making that reference. Never once was skin color mentioned, she instead stated the Indian culture is why she won't vote for an Indian, NOT skin color. Again, not saying she's correct, just clarifying that in no way can that be considered racist. PBD, quit using the left's definition of racism.

His sharp intellect, clear vision for the future and ability to articulate complex issues are exactly what is needed in a strong leadership team. Vivek's fresh perspective and dedication to preserving American values would complement Trump's bold approach perfectly. Together, they could bring about real, positive change for America. Looking forward to seeing more from Vivek! 🚀

Never once was skin color mentioned, she instead stated the Indian culture is why she won't vote for an Indian, NOT skin color.

      I tried giving her a chance. But I just can't stand her. She won't vote for Vivek because he's Indian but she used to phuck-sorry, "date" Dinesh D'Souza.

      Ann backed Trump when Trump was seen as a joke before almost everyone else would.
      Maybe Trump should have followed through with his campaign promises.

      Yeah, I never understood her point. Is she a troll? Is she for real? Why does Bill Maher like her so much? I never understood where she's coming from.

      Yup, she showed that on Vivek's podcast. Only good thing is that she's honest.

    Ive always really liked Vivek ever since he appeared in the public realm and its been awhile since I’ve listened to him and I’ve got to say he has the same ideas but has really has refined his way of getting his point across and I think he’s the #1 candidate for 2028. I’d love to see him be VP

    God I seriously love Vivek. He is precisely the kind of leader this country needs. The point he makes about the Republicans and how they complain about the government being used against the party and citizens, and then vote to expand those powers is spot on. I absolutely think the base will support him no matter his religion or skin color.

    I'm a white 4th generation conservative American. Ann Coulter makes me wanna puke!!! I'd vote for Vivek in 2028.
    I only wish I can vote for PBD for president. I wasn't raised to judge a person based on their skin color BUT on their MERIT.

      Unfortunately, we'll never get that chance because PBD was born in Iran. Unfortunate, because I think he would make a fantastic Presidential VP

    I just want to say that I disagree with anyone saying Vivek is too brown to be president. He has charisma and is very articulate and intelligent. He also shows a love for America that we don't see in the DC swamp. I would vote for him in 2028 should he decide to run again. I love PBD podcast for the balance you bring to the interview process. Thanks all!!

    @DJones1812 Před 9 dny

    I love both of them, and the entire podcast between Vivek and Ann was excellent. Anyone who worries about that quote without being curious about the rest of the discussion (which was great) doesn't have the depth of competency to vote for president (as illustrated by the reason we had the electoral college and senators elected by state legislatures)
