No doubt, but he has the charisma Ron lacks.
Thats the first time Ive given Ramaswamy a good listen, I like him and see why hes doing well in the polls. He handled the Trump questions much better than any of the other candidates I’ve seen. Maybe not from a Democrat perspective, but certainly from a Republican one.
Non of the Republican candidates will beat Trump using Democrat talking points so kudos to him for recognizing that.
I could’t help wondering what a debate between him and Robert Kennedy Jr would be like and contrasting that with a debate with DeSantis and Newsom. Might even be interesting to see all 4 in a room and note where the outsiders from Republican and Democrat align compared to the insiders Newsom and DeSantis.
Don’t they know by now there is no Team GOP.
1. God is real.

Vivek typically headlines that with “TRUTH”. I’d like to ask him how he might prove the first one ![]()
Number 2 should be sexes
Number 7 I don’t think i understand
Just pro family signaling.
Is it low key pro patriarchy, also?
It doesn’t have to be. I haven’t heard that kind of talk from him, though he’s clearly a traditional religious conservative at heart.
I’m not seeing that.
I’m watching Viv on Tucker. Continue American isolation and defend the border, the southern border, the economic border, the nuclear war from above border.
The Taiwan thing, changing the rules when we don’t need them anymore. Ouch. Was he a divorce lawyer before politics? ![]()
Yeah the implications of this “semiconductor” argument have always been clearly perilous for Taiwan, but he really is cutting straight to the heart of it.
Geopolitics isn’t static. He doesn’t pretend it is. I like that but I also don’t like too many lines being redrawn at any one time. ![]()
Speaking of redrawing lines…
VR not too long ago spoke at the NRA convention. This link will take you to the part that mentions his “plan” to defend Taiwan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnwE5ZILaaw&t=901s
Excerpt:
“You want to stop Xi Jinping from invading Taiwan? Put a gun in every Taiwanese household. Have them defend themselves. Let’s see what Xi Jinping does then! That is what it means to be an actual American…”
Oh boy. (Grandstanding at best)
It’s the NRA. Everything is hypothetical or theoretical with them.
Wait until the right wing base finds out it’s not the Abrahamic god that he’s talking about. I already had to break it to a guy at work that Ramaswamy wasn’t Christian when he was talking about these “truths.” ![]()
Hypocritical is the word you’re searching for. ![]()
And the more I hear Vivek the dumber he sounds (that’s most politicians I guess) - we put a gun in every black persons hand and trained them after the civil war? ![]()
20 minutes in and it’s chaos. Viv says climate change is a hoax.
Pence called Viv a rookie. ![]()
Vivek taking on Pence and the Fatboy and doing just fine.
You know RINOs are worried about Vivek, as they’re all trying to take him down. Nikki just joined in on the dogpile. So, Vivek doing fine.
