Vivek Ramaswamy has star power unlike any other recent VP candidate

I'd argue that he's got the "stuff" to draw crowds on his own accord, especially in more hostile territory like college campuses, on late night shows, and with celebs like Elon, Rogan, Riley Gaines, and others. He's charismatic and fun and full of energy. He'd be an asset unlike anything we've ever seen in Presidential Politics.
If we get to late September and Trump is still leading in swing state polls and national polls, it would be a tremendous asset to have Vivek going to the UVA campus, to a Las Vegas Culinary event, to the UNC GOP fundraiser, etc. to engage swing voters and generate buzz-worthy headlines. He could get more clicks and "hmmms" by swing voters in a week than Trump or Biden can get in two months.
Vivek doing a pizza review with Dave Portnoy in Ann Arbor before a Michigan football game and getting 400K YouTube hits from young male swing voters is a weapon that has never been deployed in our lives by a Presidential Campaign.
- tight with Elon and Theil
- has the "it" factor with guys like Pool, Rogan, Portnoy
- appealing to young bros
- opens to doors to high income Indian voters and future Indian candidates

Ramaswamy is good on the debate stage and in YouTube videos but I just don't believe he has the political talent to get out the vote.
Has he ever won an election?

But he's an Injun like Nimrata.

He's also a complete unknown and likely swampy trojan horse.

Well, unlike Trump in '16, Vivek didnt win his first race

He says a lot of things I like.
Ideally, I’d like to see him given a role within a Trump admin and tasked in an official capacity to tackle some swamp drainage and earn some stripes to accompany the good sounding rhetoric.

He's likely laying low and getting some family time while waiting to be announced

Before this election cycle had anyone hear of Vivek?
Because Trump was famous before 2016.

You must have forgotten how big Sarah Palin was when she came on the scene

I'm not stumping for Vivek, although I think he'd be an intriguing choice.
I'm just not sure if this 'picking a VP to attract certain voters' paradigm is all that valid anymore, if it ever really was.

dude went from zero to 8 percent in just a few months. He moves the needle. Plus, he helps with both the youth and indian americans. He's by far the best choice which is probably why Trump won't select him because Trump never chooses the right person ever.

And personally, why waste him on VP. Vice Presidents try to look like they are doing shite the first year, and then you never hear from them outside of fundraisers. Dude is intelligent and witty and could server a much better purpose than VP.

Vivek is a joke. He knows exactly what to say to get MAGA erections

Because you setup the America First party for two more elections. Lots of vice presidents go on to become president.
As for all who are on the fence about the guy, just watch a long form interview where he clearly lays out America First policy. I tell ya, that'd be some trojan horse considering he's gone further than Trump with his plans to drastically reduce the federal government.
Take the time to go to youtube and simply watch an interview with the guy. My guess is, you haven't. So educate yourself and get on it.

Have you noticed that the left nor the media has never went after him for anything he has said.
