“How bad did they beat Vivek like a drum? Now, part of that was Vivek, quite frankly. I don't know why they would have pushed him to be the candidate there.
My mom's from Youngstown. Ohio is a working-class state, very blue-collar. You know, Vivek, he's like a tech guy, did this Alzheimer's drug, and he wants to bring in people, foreign worker on visas.
That is not the type of person that's going to sell. And I know he shot himself in the foot. I know he did a lot of other stuff to make it a real landslide against him.
But even with that, it's like, you got to meet the voters where they are on some of this stuff. I think we would have done better in Ohio had we had a candidate that was more representative or more in tune with the interests of kind of these blue-collar people that make the backbone of Ohio. But they got blown out there.”

Hard to believe OH wasn't excited to support this

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH:
Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG.
A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.
A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.
(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).
More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.”
Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve.
Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest.
“Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China.
This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness.
That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it.

imjustafatkid is still saying Vivek is an ideal candidate in the Midwest

Does this mean Vivek is going to go away now?
Posted on 11/5/26 at 2:11 pm to coolpapaboze
We can only hope
Maybe he can go prey on some more sick seniors with another drug he gets his scamming Dr mom to lie about

Yea him being so outspoken the past couple days I think it's pretty obvious he's running.

There's our nominee in 2028. He gets it.
I don't give a single flying frick about his goddam shoes because we've got admitted socialists taking over the United States congress. It's time for republicans to fall in line with either him or Rubio in my opinion. Don't waste time with a long drawn out campaign on our side. Stick together and get our shite together - fast.

You should revisit some of the threads in the run up to Election Day. He was in denial big time. Might still be.

He isn't wrong here. I don't buy the notion that we are going to get increased skill from India, but we are graduating kids with 3rd-grade reading levels. Kids who can't do basic math.
But nobody likes being told they are failing and need to be accountable and do better. Not a winning strategy for getting votes.

The guy that came in 3rd in a primary? I don’t think he’s a shite candidate. His cult followers are pathetic, though. Gleefully staying home and happy the Dems won so they can “own” MAGA. Brilliant group of folks.
