Too many of y’all don’t have any experience with PE bros to know how completely fricking full of shite they are every time they open their mouth.

Know what would be cool?

If he has ever held office at any level and executed on his newfound conservative/libertarian ideals.

Perfect analogy.

He’s running a pitch deck candidacy.

Don’t trust Vivek, he took Soros money. Also, we don’t need a Hindu as POTUS.

I had never heard of Barack Obama before he ran for prez. Anything is possible evidently.

Sure. Or other issues are more of a priority to me.


No, that doesn't track.

What he's said and done in the past is a matter of either integrity/sincerity or those things are a sign of someone who can't make their mind up politically.

Either way, it doesn't matter what issues you prioritize if the guy changes his tune on them in six months. Which he might. And that includes the sick burns he's dispensing that everyone thinks qualifies him for POTUS.

that he's had a change of heart politically, did you vote for Trump in 2016? If so, I fail to see the difference.


You're right, there's not much difference. Trump was an Independent, then a Republican, then an Independent again, then a Democrat, then an Independent again, then a Republican again. And that's exactly what he governed like.

And yes, I voted for Trump rather than let Hillary win in 2016 and I would vote for Ramaswamey rather than letting Biden win in 2024. All day long. Better to have someone who governs like a Democrat only sometimes rather than someone who governs like a Democrat all the time.

But this is primary season, not the general election. We have better choices at this stage of the process.

No thanks. I don’t want to hire the intern as the CEO. You’re free to do so.

Vivek's comments on SVB were enough for me to know he's FOS.

You mean the one he sued the WEF over and won? You mean that connection?

FIFY.

I like Vivek 7.0, but it took a lot of recent updates to get here. I'm worried about how genuine he is.

The biggest overreach of freedom in my lifetime happened under Trump’s watch and people give him a pass. Crazy to me.


Hindsight is always '2020' no pun intended. What would you have done in his shoes? The toothpaste was out of the tube and every developed nation on earth descended into mayhem. If anything was beyond any POTUS it was that.

I've come to accept that people just love to vote on feels, they don't give a shite about policy or effectiveness. That's how we got Clinton. That's how we got Obama. Then they wonder why so many things go to shite.

He rejects Jesus Christ. That alone will ensure he never has a serious shot at the Republican nomination.

End of story.

Don’t really care what any of you cultist say. He has the charisma, intelligence, youth, fitness, ideology, and merit to be more effective as a repub POTUS than anyone we’ve seen since Reagan. Too bad the GOP and republican base is in shambles.


I think his message sounds like a combination of Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams, et al.

It is almost like an AI routine created him - is he real???
