The man is articulate and has a very quick mind and he possesses a great deal of common sense. Recall in the last debate, he tried to be all smiles and he was waving at the crowd with a big, teeth-baring grin. Well, he made quite an adjustment of this and ran over everyone else there last night- candidates and moderators alike, in a jacked up four wheel drive pickup. Haley showed her lack of poise and her inability to think on her feet by calling the man "scum" and Ramaswamy is most certainly not scum, least of all for making a point of another candidate's hypocrisy by mentioning that candidate's adult daughter. The way Haley behaved, you might get the impression that her daughter is an innocent six year old, savagely pulled into the political arena by the mean, mean man. I think he needs a new campaign slogan: Punch a Commie for Ramaswamy _______________________________________________ “What sickens me about left-wing people, especially the intellectuals, is their utter ignorance of the way things actually happen.” ~ George Orwell "That's one thing about intellectuals.

People really aren't used to seeing anyone with balls speak the truth with passion. Some people really don't like it. I think the media needs to get their nose rubbed in their shit at every possible opportunity. It's pretty surprising to me to hear the vapid negativity pointed at an articulate, apparent patriot. All of the other candidates besides the Don, are JOKES. | |||

Ramaswamy is the only candidate on that stage closest to being MAGA, he is what DeSantis wishes he could be. And I love his line "Dick Cheney in 3 inch heels" "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

There are, almost, no Republicans in the GOP. Gingrich was probably the last prominent conservative, who actually believed in the Republic. Trump has decades of saying the same stuff about bad trade deals, etc before he ever became president. He also has a history and building up, burning it down, to build it all up again. He has guts, and he’s not afraid of risk, but he has never had any decorum (in public. I’m 99.9% positive he’s different in private. He wouldn’t be able to build anything, if he was that way, professionally- and his kids all seem to have turned out remarkably well.) Ramaswamy does not have a consistent history. I think he’s another crony class player, who’s trying to mimic Trump. (It is VERY profitable to be a popular candidate who inspires die hard support, and lose.) DeSantis has done a great job with FL. Haley did a mediocre to bad* job with SC, but she is probably very reliable on veterans issues. (Both due to her personal life and because of being a product of SC politics. *Massive tax increases, continuing one of the most inefficient school systems in the country, throwing away the chance to revitalize the industrial base with off-shore work, etc. | |||

I agree that we shall see but I think he's running for VP. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | |||

Vivek has not attacked Trump - he talks about carrying on the America First Principle, but has specifically avoided attacking Trump. I think he's running for president, but he hasn't done anything to offend Trump and would be a good VP pick if (when, most likely) Trump is the nominee. Four years of seasoning as VP would make him a formidable candidate in 2028. | |||

He has not attacked Trump directly, but last night, he did speak of the older generation getting out of the way and letting a new generation lead. https://twitter.com/TheBabylon.../1722654595095138405 | |||

You do realize that’s a No True Scotsman Fallacy, don’t you? I’m not talking about their motivations or their history or who may be the best candidate. I’m talking about the truth bomb that Republicans have come to accept their debates be moderated by liberal pundits in liberal media. What do you have to say about that? Is what he says true? "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

With Donald Trump having such a commanding lead, we speak of these debates as useless, and for people like Christie, who just want to bitch and try to insult Trump, and for people like DeSantis and Haley who won't be the nominee and who have no chance at all of getting a position in the next Trump administration, it is a waste of time, but for Ramaswamy, he's doing the American people a favor by his words last night, and despite his saying he wants nothing but the presidency, he does himself a favor because he has refrained from directly criticizing Trump and by demonstrating what he's made of, and Donald Trump sees this. _______________________________________________ “What sickens me about left-wing people, especially the intellectuals, is their utter ignorance of the way things actually happen.” ~ George Orwell "That's one thing about intellectuals.
