If it is so great in India then why are you here and not back in your homeland enjoying the slums and the evil caste system?

(Washington/London): Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American 2024 US presidential aspirant, has hinted that he may run on a joint ticket with former president Donald Trump as his running mate if he does not win the Republican nomination, according to a media report.
The remarks by Ramaswamy came days after the 38-year-old multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur-turned-politician said he was “not interested” in any job other than president.
Ramaswamy said he believed he could only “reunite this country” as president, but did not rule out running with 77-year-old Trump as vice president if the former president and frontrunner wins the nomination for a third time.
Asked on Britain’s GB News whether he would be “happy to be (Trump’s) VP”, Ramaswamy replied: “See, this isn’t about me. If this were about me, sure. That’s a fine position for someone to have at my age.
“This is about reviving our country and I can only reunite this country if I’m doing it from the White House as the leader and the face of our movement.”
He added that he had “fresh legs” and was “almost half [Trump’s] age”, but would ask him to serve as “my most valued adviser” in the White House.
Rumours of a joint ticket between the two men in the 2024 race were fanned by the Trump campaign’s praise for Ramaswamy after the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday, in which he emerged as a breakout star.
A self-declared “outsider” who has no experience as an elected official has pledged to pardon Trump for any federal convictions on “day one” of his presidency and continue his legacy in the White House with an “America First 2.0” agenda, The Telegraph newspaper said. In previous interviews, Ramaswamy had denied becoming the former president’s running mate, insisting that he could only change the country if he won the top job.
“I’m not interested in a different position in the government. Frankly, I’d drive change through the private sector sooner than becoming number two or three in the federal government,” he told Fox News on Saturday.
His popularity rating and online fundraising have surged after his impressive performance at the first Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday.
The first poll that came out after the debate said that 28 per cent of the 504 respondents said Ramaswamy performed the best. He was followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 27 per cent, and Pence (13 per cent). Indian-American Nikki Haley received the vote of seven per cent.
According to Fox News, Ramaswamy was the most Google-searched Republican candidate after the debate. He was followed by fellow Indian-American Haley.
Both the Indian-Americans were standing next to each other on the debate stage. Politico, a Washington metropolitan area-based politics-focused newspaper company, said that Ramaswamy, the brash and uber-wealthy entrepreneur, got under the skin of his rivals and praised Trump, calling him “the best president of the 21st century.”

I hate to tell you this entropy12 but you sound like a well-travelled jackass. Not intelligent, erudite, or cultured, just an jackass.
“why are you here and not back in your homeland”
Getting personal now? I love to meet nice folks and I am in my homeland, thank you.
Why don’t you and Jyotishi quit bothering us on FR and go back to your native India?
Spoken like a true leftists and anti-white racist.
You were born and raised in India and you come here to America to try trash the natives. How enlightened of you. You stink of leftist elitism and hypocrisy. You are welcome to go back home.
“Don’t kill that Rat !
It might be Uncle Harry !”
You seem pretty positive about the horrible caste system in India. Now tell us the virtues of slavery please.
Would you be all right if we had created cast system here in America and Indians could only sell squishies?
It is high time India tackled the ‘evil’ of the caste system
India's caste system is a vast systematic violation of the human rights of tens of millions of citizens.

If you want to be a lower caste, untouchable slave then please vote for Viveck Ramaswamy. ----
I figured you got your life morals from you first few decades in India.
You're no different than those scammers who steal from American elderly people - then start throwing sh!t when they're exposed - just like you did here.
You're nothing special - and you don't know any history.
What caste are you? Do you tread on the lower ones still?
It's freaky how so many elements are elevating this little tattoo-the-plane on stilts to some kind of godhood. Someone on YouTube even posted his graduation speech.
“Speculation isn’t so much about the Veep spot, but a cabinet post.” In a post-debate podcast, Charlie Kirk made a persuasive case for making Ramaswamy Chief of Staff in a Trump Administration, saying VP would be a waste of his talent.

It’s Trump all the way.
No Governors. They are all sellouts.
Well, good thing he is rich, because if the headline is true, he will never have another job.
