@VivekGRamaswamy

We don’t need another plastic career politician beholden to his donor masters to sit in the White House. We need a real leader. Let’s drop the act @RonDeSantisFL and just get on with it: welcome to the race.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Headed for the VP slot.

Running for president without much in the way of name recognition is a pretty tough road to choose. Or maybe he’s running for V.P.?

[Farcesensitive]

He’s right.
And it applies to him too.

[FLT-bird]

Except he’s not a career politician. He’s made his living to this point in the private sector.

”Except he’s not a career politician. He’s made his living to this point in the private sector.”

He is a product of Harvard and Yale. A great deal of his fortune was made in the pharmaceutical sector. He is a Hindu.

So I have a LOT of questions about him!

[Farcesensitive]

He’s part of the same crowd.

[Fai Mao]

Better a Hindu than a Mormon, Episcopalian, or most Methodist.

[Alberta's Child]

I would never vote for the guy, but he’s not wrong about “plastic career politicians.”

[Sacajaweau]

He taught after college...was JAG...elected to Congress 2012.
Work in Private Sector??

Trump ~ Pasghetti

DeSantoros ~ Meatball

[Sacajaweau]

None of what you’re saying pans out. Never worked in the private sector...he’s not wealthy...and he’s not Hindu.

[escapefromboston]

I can’t imagine a situation where I would vote for a Non-Christian or a Non-White.

The previous poster is describing Vivek Ramaswamy, not Ron DeSantis.

[FLT-bird]

Yes, that's what Vivek was getting at. DeSantis' whole career almost has been as a JAG in the Navy and then in politics. Ramaswamy by contrast, has been a serial entrepreneur and has been quite successful in the private sector. See below

"After working as an investment partner, Ramaswamy founded the biopharmaceutical company Roivant Sciences in 2014."

"After leaving Roivant in 2021, Ramaswamy co-founded Strive Asset Management, an investment firm opposed to the environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) framework, for which he serves as executive chairman."

"In 2007, Ramaswamy and Travis May co-founded Campus Venture Network, a technology company that provided software and networking resources to university entrepreneurs.[9] The company was acquired in 2009 by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation."

In 2020, Ramaswamy co-founded Chapter Medicare, a Medicare navigation platform

[Sacajaweau]

Gotcha..

[wiseprince]

He’s running for President and he has already gotten Trumps attention. He mentioned him in one of his videos.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Ronnie is a Bush Family, Inc. Trojan horse.

[zzeeman]

He is a congenitally dumb little simpleton that believes what the dollars are whispering in his ears. It is all a phony act, and always has been.

“Running for president without much in the way of name recognition is a pretty tough road to choose. Or maybe he’s running for V.P.?”

The problem for the GOP bosses is that DeSantis departed from the MAGA wing of the party (probably 75% of the Republican voting base) last week by showing who he answers to. So now it’s just Trump and Vivek, so Vivek will get noticed, and just might start showing up with Trump, at Trump rallies (assuming that I’m not misreading Vivek).
