VP Ramaswamy?

I think that if you don't have what it takes to be POTUS, you don't have what it takes to be VPOTUS.

Isn't that now pretty obvious?

I’m not sure Ramaswamy would want the VP job — but aren’t all VPs people who couldn’t win the presidency?

Perhaps. But if he really believes that he can "out-trump Trump" in the primaries, then he is really not fit for either job.

It would take a big ego to think that. Hubris is not a good quality. I actually think Trump is more humble than his enemies claim.

Copy that.

I completely agree. I listened to Vivek a few months ago on an interview and he said something (unfortunately, I cannot remember the specific) that jarred me and I said to myself that this guy is NOT a freedom lover. People need to listen more critically, and not be swayed by the flavor of the moment.

I would like to know what he said that threw a red flag for you. He’s definitely the flavor of this month. We see this all the time—will he still be a major player by March? Who knows.

I want to look further into this guy so stay tuned.

I've been wracking my memory on this. It definitely had something to do with (broadly, and nuanced) mandates/big government, without him using those words. I'm sorry, I feel like I'm keeping you in suspense but I only remember it was during an interview, perhaps on Fox business. I'm going to have to research.

Very bogus to equate mask-wearing with mask-mandating; classic political doubletalk. Claiming conservatives oppose personal responsibility. Inexcusable statements in that tweet.

Yes, the tweet shows someone much different than this alleged libertarian we are getting pushed on us by corporate media.

Insightful article. I'm paying as little attention to politics as possible, so I'm glad when I can get the shortcuts given to me.

I’m too much of a political junkie to completely ignore it—even though I understand much of it is rigged.

Glad you found this helpful, Teresa! I’m not done with Ramaswamy’s background excavation, so more is coming.

Wow, I haven’t heard about his origin of birth question. It seems like these days there’s always one with a questionable birth location. I’m not sure what’s going on there but the constitution is pretty straightforward on this - but the lawyers always find a way to finagle out of it.

The race is DTs to lose, but like you said, you never know what might happen. Donald said himself last night that his enemies hate him and are crazy enough to resort to violence—God forbid that happens enabling Ramaswamy to be “the guy.”

The CV sham demic was intentionally divisive. Fortunately I didn’t have too much family drama during that.

BHO regime is when the US implosion started gaining momentum — but Bush and company sowed the seeds with 9-11 psyops and Patriot Act.

Of course he’s a natural born citizen if he was born in the United States. Period, full stop. The citizenship status of his parents is entirely irrelevant.

I speak as someone underwhelmed by and deeply skeptical, even suspicious of him and his possible connections. But assuming he was born in the US, his full citizenship is not in question.

I agree, Grandma Bear--I don't think there's any doubt that Vivek was born on U.S. soil so there's nothing there to look into.

I think you might want to read the Constitution. Natural Born is parents born in United States. Of course being the way things have been, it doesn't stop any of them from electing and putting whomever they want in there, anyway.

I’m afraid you are the one who should read the Constitution. It is very clear that being born on US soil is the only requirement for US citizenship. That is something that has distinguished us from most, if not all, other countries. And it is one of the reasons we have been able to assimilate immigrants so well over the years. I would not want to change that, even if it can sometimes be abused (which if it is, is rare).

I agree he does sound great in many ways. But is he genuine or another pawn in the WEF game?

I wish his resume was less questionable- like why couldn’t his fortune be in organic foods or vitamins. :) Not big pharma!

Yeah, Vivek might be too dynamic for Don to pick. Nobody outshines 45 ;).

I don't want to sound morbid but, if Vivek were running as Trumps VP, I would feel the bad guys would have good reason to assassinate Trump. I would not want anyone WEF or DS would need in there. Vivek is too questionable.
