I’m not discounting Vivek’s talents or intelligence. I’ve just learned over the years that smoothing talking people tend to not be invested in their positions, because there is no consequence for them. People who have a serious chance of winning their elections have to give serious positions, because they may have to be responsible for actually fulfilling promises. Glib people, on the other hand, can just walk away because they know they likely will not win their election.
Rush never ran for office. He was just a talking head, so he could he could state positions without worrying about being held accountable for the. Same with Buckley. Neither man had the expectation about them fulfilling promises.
Buckley ran for office, Rush was wise, They were ‘glib’?
“smooth talking”
respect for you before. now , not so much.
How laughably shallow.
Vivek has that Gen Z smile that I’ve grown to hate.
He’s also incredibly arrogant. Earlier in the evening, I saw where he said he would fire 3/4 of federal employees with no thought of the disruption to the country and economy that would cause. I agree a good housecleaning is in order, but 3/4? Really?
Another time, I saw him state that it was ok for Ukraine to give up their occupied land to Russia. Irrespective of one’s position on that war (and I am not stating that here), who the he!! does he think he is to determine how much land another country should have?
vivek says he would cut thousands of federal jobs and dozens of departments and hundreds of program. Trump could hire him to do just that and let’s see him work.
