Vivek's Boo-Boos

I have received calls from some of my readers that I am not pointing out the blunders committed by Vivek Ramaswamy in his Presidential primary campaign. Please don’t be disappointed. Here are a few. 

Vivek wants US to abandon Ukraine and let Russia keep whatever they have occupied so far in exchange for (Russia) exiting its military alliance with China.

He wants to support Taiwan against China only until 2028. He says by 2028, USA would have achieved “semi-conductor independence”. 

Vivek says climate change is a "hoax".  (Just read a report he insists the temperature should be below 64 degrees F (that is 17.778 C) wherever he stays - be it his home or his office or his hotel room.)

Vivek wants US voting age to be raised from 18 to 25.  According to him if someone who is below 25 years of age wants to vote, he/she should serve in the military for at least 6 months or pass a test similar to a written test given to aspiring naturalized citizens. 

This one is cute.  Vivek recommends Universities should screen the college applicants on their physical fitness, such as their one-mile run time, sit-ups, and pull-ups. (My brother who is handicapped cannot be admitted for higher studies. No college education for my nephew who has asthma.) 

Vivek wants to deport children born in the USA for illegal immigrants. (Cannot do that unless there is a constitutional amendment. Any one born in the USA is an American citizen irrespective of the child’s parents’ legal status.)

Indians and Chinese will love this.  Vivek wants to end the H1B Visa program.
