I would be thrilled if both him and Trump dominate Iowa.

Wouldn’t that be something else!?

Will he accept Christ by 2028? If not, then he will just be a sideshow again like he is this year.

Few Republicans are going to vote for someone who is hindu.

You can cry about it but that wont change the reality of the situation.

You don't know what your talking about.

Kamala is a Babtist. Vote for her if you don't like Vivek.

He is who we all wanted DeSantis to be, especially with what he says. Let’s hope he’s not all talk.




So you don't like the guy who has actually backed up all of his promises with action and real accomplishments but you love the guy who has done nothing but has a silver tongue?

You remind me of conversations I would have with people in 2008 who were caught up in the Hope and Change and Obama was going to be the future. Hell Vivek stole a lot of his lines directly from Obama.

People wonder why we are in the shitty situation but this explains it nicely. It's all about feels for so many it's staggering.

Governing is hard. Governing well is extremely rare. Talk is easy. We have an incredibly rare opportunity to actually vote for someone who has done the things that conservatives have been begging for for decades but instead we are probably going to end up with Trump/Haley with some of you still thinking Vivek is the future.

We get the government we deserve in the end.

BTW, for a guy who is all about "Truth" he literally is pushing the completely fake and disproven Fox screen shot talking about numbers of events and counties visited by the candidates. Maybe it's "his truth" or something.

So you want is to guess what DeSantis is going to do and ignore what Vivek says he will do?

Viveks positions are what we need as a country. DeSantis will do what his donors tell him to.

We know exactly what DeSantis will do. He has over a decade in office and a record. He beat Fauci, Disney, and Soros and he made Florida go from Purple to one of the Reddest states in the country. His last Legislative session had so many W's it would fill up 2 pages for me to list them.

Vivek is a great speaker and communicator with some great ideas but he is basically an investor who made his money in Pharma. He claims to have not been interested in politics until recently yet he was on TV over 20 years ago talking to Al Sharpton. He's of course never had any type of job in government or run for office. He has no real team around him. Intelligence is not wisdom and you must have a strong team around you to succeed as President. He was also dead wrong about Disney when he said DeSantis would lose his legal cases. That was the first real test of his rhetoric against reality. Remember DeSantis is an Honors Law Grad from Harvard too.

Beyond all of that he has no path. He doesn't even have delegates in several states. He's running a distant 4th with the least money and organization.

I would be more open to it if DeSantis wasn't such a proven conservative but he absolutely is. I want Vivek to be part of the future of the GOP but he's still in his 30s. He needs to put some theory into practice and show what he can do. Being President isn't just making speeches.

Anyway, unless you live in Iowa, NH, or South Carolina it likely won't matter anyway.

Yeah, Vivek is outworking Trump so Trump lashes out because he sees Vivek as a threat now.

Trump should have waited until after Iowa to go after Vivek. Iowa should have been about cutting Nikki down at the knees. If Nikki falls below Vivek in Iowa, Nikki and the swamp candidate are done. Although the lash out of Trump may actually help Vivek because it gave Vivek more attention.

I don’t yet trust Vivek.

If at some point I do, he’s second for me right after Trump.
