He's some weird combination of a used car sales me and a character from an SNL skit.

Let's start with him stating Trump acted abhorrently on Jan 6th, then refusing to even acknowledge he made that quote when asked to give an example of what Trump did that was abhorrent.

He has a lot of skeletons in his closet and he talks a good game but has nothing to back it up. He “fights against the woke” but at the same time defends juneteenth, then a week later attacks juneteenth.

He is whatever politician you want him to be. You tell him war is bad he’ll have a speech about it. You tell him it’s good and he’ll convince you why we need war. He is the guy in college who ran for all the student council president positions.

Go look at his Covid database scheme that almost succeeded.

But, he loves him some Trump, and isn’t that all that is needed for a certain few posters?

Totally unproven and very questionable on conservative principles, needs a lot more life experience before seeking the highest office of the collapsing free world.

Don’t trust him, my understanding there is some Soros money in his past.

I mostly agree with the OP. I wouldn't call him a conservative. I think he's the tip of the spear of am emerging stream of transparty (heh) pragmatists. I hope he's the first of many anyway.

I hate to say it but he needs political experience. It's hard to be young and a political nobody. He talks too much like a new age CEO, which is way too fluid for partisan politics.

Trump was/is inconsistent. Remember him promising free money in run up to the last election?

Since it's the rich backing the woke, it doesn't bother me. Thomas Paine supported a wealth tax.

I don't trust him. He says all of the right things, that's never a good sign.

This seems to be from an old memo at this point. Most people have found enough wrong things he's said by now.

I hear you though. Personally I vote for the guy that says a bunch of things I hate.

Every politician on both sides IMMEDIATELY said the same. Mrs Lindsey Graham turned his back on Trump(something Trump seems to have forgotten)

You had news pundits, politicians, independent journalists, Conservative journalists and channels, doing the same thing they did for Sandman. They jumped to conclusions. He later did a published WP statement about it on the 10th.

If you watched his recent msnbc “debate”
He cleared the air on that despite the msnbc’s Mehdi Hassan being a blowhard that would interrupt every single time he’d start making a point.

3. He was Big Pharma that’s one of my major hang ups,


The rest all of you keep pointing out have been asked and answered ad nauseam. Watch his interviews

My thin justification on that is he was on the biotech side which theoretically is agnostic and just trying to invent better ways for pharma to do their thing.

It's very thin. Regardless he doesn't seem like an industry loyalist. He made his money off them. Maybe he's on to Cincinnati on pharma.

As a populist he's malleable to the people at least. Which people I'm still wondering.

The most pandertastic pandering pandervoluminous panderistic panderdemic panderholostic pandertaneous panderer I have ever seen.

To the point that I'm amazed at how easy it is for someone to push y'all's buttons as frantically as possible and y'all either have no clue its happening or you like to hear what you like to hear so much that you know but simply don't care.

He's actually causing me to lose hope that the republic can be saved. He's not, I guess, but y'all taking him seriously is.

Extremely talented guy. He is emblamatic of the reason America is the greatest nation on earth. How much poorer is Bharat, how much richer America, because he, or his forbears, immigrated.

I doubt the sincerity of his expressed political beliefs. More than likely, he is trying to shoulder his way into the graft industry that is modern American politics, but who really knows?

I think this board’s infatuation with him is odd.
