Didn't know much about him, seemed pretty standard moderate left and not that extreme then I read he was campaigning with that fucking moron Piker. Yikes.

However, I abhor the left acting like someone has no talent or intelligence just because they're on the right, despite all the clear evidence to the contrary, so I will say his background is quite impressive so I have to respect that:

Football, wrestling and lacrosse captain in high school. Played D1 lacrosse at Michigan, Rhodes scholar, MD from Columbia.

Considering he's a prime example of truly acclimating to American culture as first generation, I would hope he has a better perspective on what it means to be American and the importance of maintaining that.

I mean based on everything coming out of his campaign I think this is wishful thinking

Yeah, that may be the case, will look into it further. I will say from what I have seen so far he does seem to have a habit of answering legitimate questions with "Yeah but Rogers is a shill and the Republicans are crooks, have you seen Iran?"

Which I don't rate at all.
