you can seek Vivek’s own comments on the matter, not some cheeky little article you found. Do some damn due diligence and quit being led by the nose.


Vivek needs a track record, right now he can say whatever he wants and there is really no way to tell if hes bullshitting or not.

He needs time on congress or as a Governor.

Thanks, Roger. Why the hell am I agreeing with you more often? I'm confused.

Vivek is not as popular as you guys think.

He's +17 among Republicans which isn't very good. Better than someone like Haley.


He also has never served in Government, a huge negative for a VP.

No he doesn’t and neither did Trump.

You're screaming into the wind. They don't care.

I don't scream. I don't care that they don't care. Gutter fights don't interest me, whatsoever, and we need everyone pulling together. But I'm happy to keep pointing out that Vivek is a fraud and would be in on the grift, probably on a scale much higher that Biden, Inc.

He is a total and complete fraud, but he CURRENTLY says what they want to hear and says it well, and that's all they care about.

The fact that he said something completely different literally 2 years ago doesn't matter, or that he has ZERO record to stand by, or that he is a literal Democrat donor.

None of it matters.

Not trying to pick a fight for no reason or for any reason here, I do believe the following is a quite relevant and logical question to ask: Exactly what is the nature and extent of the alleged/potential grift to which y’all refer? I guess I coulda just asked “what’s the grift” amirite? That version didn’t sound respectful enough to me.

Anyhow, serious question.

There needs to be some balance on the ticket. Two in your face guys on the same ticket isn't much balance. The VP pick needs to bring something to the ticket, something that Trump needs. Ramaswany is a Trump mini me.

Its too numerous to count, but Vivek has a long, RECENT history of saying literally the opposite of all the things he is saying now. He leveled Trump in his book that was written TWO years ago.

He was a big pro-Inheritance Tax guy, he has donated to far left candidates, and has said many many many things you guys would deeply disagree with.

His fortune was built on a big Pharma pump and dumb scheme, and he had some TERRIBLE ideas during Covid.


All of a sudden he becomes this big Trump guy and runs for office in an obvious alliance with Trump to steal votes from other candidates. He is well aware that a certain segment only cares about two things: What they hear at a given moment (tough talk_), and being nice to Trump.

I think opportunist is better than grifter.

He has zero record to base claims on, so he can say anything he wants. His positions or previous claims have been scrubbed, but some still out there conflict with what he says today.

This guy could end up a Libertarian, Republican, Democrat or Communist, no one knows at the present time which direction he will go.

Old and young is precisely the balance needed. A common vision is also entirely needed. Those who scream scam are weak minded.

Sure he does, same qualifications Trump had. He ran successful businesses, became a leader in his field and has now pivoted to politics. Similar trajectory. So what’s the difference between the two?

Get out the vote? So Joe sitting in his basement energized the electorate to get out and vote.

It lost credibility with the inclusion of the typical gratuitous swipes in the final paragraph. It was going pretty well as far as opinions go up to that point.

Ultimately, I still don’t see any persuasive information as to what the grift or call it “opportunistic” motivations of Ramsey. What personal gain is he going to these lengths to achieve? Question remains open.
