I saw Ramaswamy on FNC the other night. I found his child-like understanding of the geopolitical relationship between the west, Russia and China to be completely disqualifying for a commander in chief or anywhere in the chain of succession.

Not to mention that while he’s surely intelligent, he’s a political lightweight that carries no gravitas or record of accomplishment (or votes).

Trump had no record of votes, either, which is why I hadn't supported him in the primaries. He was also a political novice, with exceptional instincts. Trump also donated to the Ted Kennedy Campaign, something I would have never done, even if it means my tower doesn't get built.

But dang, his actions as president were exceptional, and he fought against knives coming from obvious and not so obvious directions. Only COVID threw him (and a lot of people) off stride because tat wasn't in his wheelhouse.

I don't know what you found childlike about Ramaswamy. His business career is solid, as far as I know.

“child like understanding”?

A lot of people pretend to gnostic knowledge, but it’s a delusion. Stuff like this is way too complex and contingent. It can also turn on a dime. There is no secret understanding between masters of the universe, even if some people pretend to be such masters of the universe. They too are delusional.
