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?

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

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.

Trump’s ego could never handle Vivek as VP. He’s going to pick another establishment lackey.

Vivek is not the GOPe's choice. They prefer smiling Scott and one hit policy Youngkin.

That SirWinston supports such an obvious huckster with hiphuckster style is maybe a little less surprising than the maga weirdos full throated embrace of the TikTok flip flop.

Vivek can't bring a single voter over to the Trump camp who Trump doesn't already have.

Vivek did build somewhat of an organization through his candidacy.

His followers are dedicated.

I hope it’s him. If something happens to Trump, we get someone with the same policy ideas.

I don’t think he’s a plant. I think he could help to reach younger voters and that nobody else being mentioned would truly carry the MAGA torch.

Ben Carson, for example, is a sweetie pie, but I just see him as not assertive enough to ultimately be president and I’m not sure what executive experience he really brings to to job.

Noem rolled on that transgender crap, so if she were in charge, she’d roll on that too.

Desantis would be wasted there and it’s a definite no from both I think.

And Tim Scott would fall into the same bucket as Carson, except with creepy Uniparty tendencies.

It has to be Vivek. And Trump doesn’t need to pick any member of the Senate. The Republicans in the senate are either Cornyn clones or necessary for some sanity. We need Rand Paul and JD Vance in the senate. They need to stay there.

Honestly, most people tend to laugh at Vivek.
