The ***OFFICIAL*** Vivek Ramaswamy for POTUS Thread

I was never a Democrat but as an independent, I was far more partial to them during the Bushtarded years on the national level although I always preferred a conservative judiciary. On the state level I was more inclined to support Republicans.

The Dems have gone off the rocker nuts. Iwon't be casting any ballots for them again any time soon. It'd need to be a Tulsi Gabbard type and I don't know that the Dems can produce candidates like that anymore.

So Democrats have just taken it so far out to left field you can't vote for them and the second they run even a decent candidate you'll jump ships?  Maybe quit trying to change a party you don't even plan on being apart of long term. 

Also Bush sucked, but Gore would've been far worse, we dodged a bullet there. Hindsight 20/20 and knowing what we know now you should at least be able to admit that, despite your hatred for Bush.

In 2000 and 2004, the better choices at the time seemed to be Gore and Kerry. Especially Kerry since the major issue was the Iraq war which was a flaming disaster.

In 2023, seeing as they are both corporate globalist left wing shills nowadays, granted that was always true, but the real danger that position posed at the time hadn't really been fully revealed. While I didn't like Bush's creationism in public schools stuff but the woke nonsense is 1000x worse. We also have flag kneelers now, we didn't deal with that back then. Bring back the fundy teachers. In hindsight, I've probably shifted my position on fossil fuels/environmental policy closer to Bush's since then.

I'm glad the Trump movement pushed aside the Bush/Romney/Ryan establishment GOP but I'd likely suck it up and vote for a Bushtard over the Dems at this point, not over a Tusli Gabbard Democrat though, where the culture war gets taken off the table.

He’s married with kids but whatever.  Look, I live in NC so I have zero to do with who wins a primary.  That starts in and chosen by Iowa, NH, and SC.  The candidate is chosen by the time it ever gets to my state.  BUT other candidates can set tones, drive conversations, and bring light to issues and values.  Iron sharpens Iron.  
 

Vivek is unapologetic about his stances, doesn’t flip flop and isn’t afraid to go in any arena to debate his ideas.  I respect it.

I like him and I’m glad that he has a voice. Hopefully he sticks around for a while this cycle and then the winner gives him a spot. Maybe the #2 spot.  The republicans will own the Indian vote for decades.

pennsylvania, georgia, arizona and florida have swung towards biden in a potential trump vs biden matchup after the indictments.  but not by much and as the indictments fade into the rear view mirror there's a great chance that trump recovers in all of those polls.  trump detractors will of course ignore all the great polling he was getting before the indictment to try to kill enthusiasm for trump.  trump was beating biden in the general consistently in the polls beforehand.

I'm sure he'll do so in the future, but I'd like to hear his opinion on higher education costs, healthcare costs, housing, the role of the federal reserve, etc. Appreciate that he mentioned China makes so many of the things we use on a daily basis. Unfortunately, he doesn't mention who would manufacture those items if we went into a cold war against them. Related to that. He stated he'd bar American corporations from doing business in China. There would be huge pushback there & it would most likely cause a substantial correction in our financial markets.

 

Top 10 S&P 500 Companies With the Highest Revenue Exposure in China

Table with 3 columns and 10 rows. Currently displaying rows 1 to 10.

Company	Industry	Revenue share from China
Wynn Resorts	Casino	70%
Las Vegas Sands	Casino	63%
Qualcomm	Semiconductor	60%
Texas Instruments	Semiconductor	55%
IPG Photonics	Fiber lasers	42%
Western Digital	Data shortage	40%
NXP	Semiconductor	39%
Qorvo	Semiconductor	34%
Broadcom	Semiconductor	33%
Corning	Advanced materials	33%

Not sure if the list includes American multinationals that actually have factories in China ?

I know Tesla has at least one, Apple obviously has a presence there, etc

My opinion of him is basically the same as Strike stated earlier......

 

 

 

 

Regarding the bolded, I'm confident it includes American multinationals.  I'm very familiar with the semiconductor companies in that list; native Chinese companies are generally not huge customers, nothing like Apple etc. which does a lot of manufacturing in China.

I don’t mind this dude, definitely prefer him over Trump and Desantis.  At least he knows what the civil war was about judging by the Don Lemon video (hint: not “state’s rights”).

It’s more than 0%, but him being the nominee is pretty much the Dems’ best chance of winning.  A few weeks ago I would’ve said only chance, but then Desantis went and supported a 6 week abortion ban.

He’s setting a tone. Ron Desantis is piggy backing on Viveks ideas and talking points.  It’s all hands on deck in 2024.  We have to get this bumbling fool out of office and stop this woke insanity. People are outwardly laughing at America.  Enough is enough.

The DNC's strategy is pretty clear at this point. They are trying to do to Trump with what they did to Doug Mastriano ( granted DM was a horrible candidate and he seems like a total lunatic). They are going to plaster him in the MSM, but not enough to tank his chances in a primary, where they will push money and votes his way. To ensure De Santis and Haley can't emerge. 

Then hope to beat him in the 2024 general election. Biden can't beat anyone other than Trump. So Team Blue needs to keep hitting Trump hard, but not so hard he loses the primary in 2024. They want people to come to the polls to vote against Trump, not vote for Biden. 

Obviously the MSM and most of Big Social Media conspired to time this trial when they knew the Hunter Biden probe would come out. To try to shade down on it. 

But this scandal with E Jean Carroll IMHO is just too far. The DNC and establishment Democrats pushed the gas pedal too long and this "rape/sexual assault" scandal is going to tank Trump in the primaries. Sure, Trump's numbers are up now,  but that's more of how the polling industry has fallen apart in modern times, and how Conservatives refuse to talk to anyone about their politics, most of them in the open. 

A combination of De Santis / Haley is unbeatable. The reason De Santis is angling on abortion is he's hoping inflation issues sway most people, then he picks up the 15-20 million Pro Life Democrats in the country gauging that they will operate as new single issue voters and that American families will care more about the children they can't feed now, versus the hypothetical children they don't have yet or may never have ever. I'd call it a huge risky bet on De Santis' part. 

I'm not sure Trump beats Biden in a general election in a pure rematch. There are just too many low information voters out there, and Biden will just start printing money again during the primaries to buy more votes. The one thing in Trump's favor is that Republicans tend to hit the voting booth reliably, whereas 2024 might end up like 2016, where some liberals will just stay home rather than vote for a truly horrible candidate. 

2024 might have the largest voting turnout ever, by a large margin even over previous records. People are starting to figure out if they don't make some attempt to vote, that there is no other pathway to save their kids. Imagine being a young parent today and having to face four more years of Biden, or even Trump. That's just nauseating. I want them both out of politics.

Love this guy.  He doesn’t just tow party lines, he clearly explains WHY he has a position.  More in depth than any candidate I’ve ever seen.  Decisions aren’t based on one side of a ledger, you have to weigh pros vs cons, costs vs benefits.  This guy gets it.

All this election voter fraud nonsense.  It happens, all the Dems yelled in 2016 to the high heavens. Trump yelled in 2020 and was held to a different standard; but I digress.  The solution is easy…keep it simple.
