A good salesman, plenty of them around. He's nothing unique. Anyway US politics is just so odd.

Yah its largely a PR exercise with associated levels of grift involved.

But thats largely par for the course these days in politics anywhere.

I've become more and more anti-politician lately.

More people need to focus on the the upstream stuff to politics for politics to then have any chance of actually cultivating some level of cohesive trust. Right now its really easy to grift in the downstream using what people want to hear, to "get back" on another political side.

Lol, why do you put so much emphasis on the money.

He might have people opening doors or doing favours for him, people who get to make millions invariably do, it's not necessarily innate genius and I like him so far, but you don't always have to go over the up top.
You are an American and you are asking me why am I putting so much emphesis on money? Thats ... strange to say the least.

The guy was born into basic upper middle class immigrant family. Nothing very rich. He got into Harvard. He broke into Wall St. He ran a company that became a Wall St darling. He made a billion dollar there, legally. And yet you are saying he is dumb.

Devil only knows...

I never said he was dumb, I already said he was good in some ways.

I just don't believe in gushing over another man in the way you do, let me repeat your problem is I don't GUSH about another man like you do, very insecure.

Politics is a popularity contest for ugly people. No doubt.

One does not need to love the person to appriciate what s/he is capable of.

I mean you are asking me why I focus on money while being an American. And no, I am not interested in American politics IN GENERAL. I do love the current show being put forward. Its pretty good in past many years.

More because he is a second generation American and he is among the more interesting candidate in the current lot.

And yes fair point! I confused you for @hyperman for a moment. Mea Culpa!

Is Ro Khanna running now? Is Yang running now? And seriously, is Kaur even 2 bit as interesting as Vivek? Besides, I already told you, I do not quite like party (wo)men.

And given that I am not american nor I live in america, its identity politics is not much of importance to me. What I enjoy is how an outsider (quite literally) and an upstart is leaving these folks running for their money and can even become a president while these folks keep on running around in circles.

Money is a measure of being able to produce results. Especially if one starts from low. Given he operated in the constrains of law, it is indeed very impressive.

Its not though, I've met/come across people who have vast amounts of weath, and not necessarily even inherited wealth, self made people, who are complete imbeciles in all other aspects of intelligence. And I've come across ricksha walas and other people with modest means who I've been astounded by in terms of their depth of knowledge of matters.

someone can be really good at one narrow thing, and be a complete idiot in everything else.
