I wonder why your position today about this candidate is any different. What did you say about Trump back then?
I’ve been on the Trump Train since I watched him come down the escalator.
I’m from Long Island. I understand his language. I understand his mannerisms. Folks ignore or don’t know about the things he did, without receiving any recognition. Read up on the 1995 Veterans Day parade.... https://www.factcheck.org/2019/11/donald-trump-and-new-yorks-veterans-day-parade/
Not one of his tweets ever came across as mean. I thought they were funny.
I laugh at the way he insults people.
And more importantly, I marveled at the things he did, pretty much without any help from McConnell or Ryan.
I think the biggest reason they conspired to get rid of him is because he was going to be on a second term, figured out who all the traitors were, knew the game and was getting ready to drop multiple MOABs on the DC establishment. They weren’t going to allow that to happen.
As for his picks, I don’t think he realized just how much they all hated us. He learned that there was no getting past McConnell and Schumer, who worked together to make sure he didn’t get what he wanted. Mattis is a perfect example. Mr Marine, himself. Right up there with Chesty and John Basilone. And then we all find out that he wanted Clinton to win, he wanted to work for her and that he withheld information and lied to the President.
So, that’s where I stand and have stood since Day 1. He’s getting my vote regardless of where he is. I don’t care if he’s in the Supermax and not even on the ballot. Why? Because not one other person is who he is. They’re all Establishment, as far as I’m concerned.
And with regards to Ramaswamy, I think he’s the ultimate snake oil salesman that learned, very quickly, tell them what they want to hear and they’ll love you.
👍👍👍

That’s exactly what I’m seeing re: Vivek. And I’m not buying what he’s selling. Here he is acting all victimhoodish. Where the hell was he when social media was censoring and then banning Trump? I never heard a peep out of him. But now it’s “different” (typical leftist behavior).

Yes.
I understand completely about how New Yorkers think and talk. Most evangelical Christians have caught up with that too now so that is no issue with Trump.
We had every reason back then to suspect he was a Manchurian Candidate, but who thinks that today? Remember when Trump suggested Romney as SecState? People were saying, “Ha, I told you so.” But who remembers that now?
I can tell you what others are saying about Vivek. I cannot tell you they are right or that they are wise.
1. Not natural born? This complaint only holds traction with process purists. “But it’s the constitution!” Most are shrugging this off.
2. Soros Scholarship? This is going the way of the “Rhodes Scholar” thing of the past. It may be that some of the same people who tried to make that the Shibboleth back in the Clinton era are energized in the same way. Same as “Ted Cruz’s wife works for Goldman Sachs!!” Vivek’s explanation seems to be sufficient, if I can judge by people I have talked to.
3. Drug Company fraud? I have not heard what Vivek says about this. One defender says that there is much hopefulness for an Alzheimer’s drug. They are still working on the drug. Is it for sure that it is a total fail? If you understand why Trump’s business practices never impacted his candidacy, including the Kelo thing in NYC, then you can expect that this complaint will not hold. Whether it should or not is another question.
4. Federal Abortion Ban? He said he would not sign one so the Libertarians are happy. The Electabilities are happy. The Evangs are scowling, frowning but letting it drop.
5. But he’s Hindu! Not holding either. Kinda like Kennedy being a Catholic. The people who raised that issue in 1960 thought that it was decisive. They had no idea how JFK would handle it. For Vivek this will be easier for him to turn to his good and he is smarter and better than JFK.
I really cannot see this happening though. My girl thinks Vivek is positioning himself to be VP. I don’t think Rino’s and Libs will ever tolerate that or anyone who says that climate change is a scam. Anyway, it is all an academic exercise because the Dem/Rino fraud machine in the key swing states is still in place, stronger than ever, soooo.....
Jordan Peterson, who should stay out of it, is very influential with young conservatives in our country. He is now pushing Vivek so stay tuned. “There is no doubt that Vivek won that debate,” says my daughter. “When they asked who would support Trump...” she said, “Only one hand went up immediately.”
Please correct me, I appreciate your thoughts.
