“In my view, there is not an ounce of populism in either Vance or Rubio.”
*********************************
Yes Trump won as a populist. It’s the independents who decide elections which is why an “old school” conservative like DeSantis is out of the picture. The country has changed in many ways and I no longer see a conventional conservatives as a viable candidate for President. That might not sit well with some here but I’m afraid that’s the reality.
Like the GOP RINO's joining the Dems for breakfast Since Reagan and before Trump.
And, please, not another female who turns out to be unpredictable, irrational, and unaccountable and almost certainly will acquiesce to the Left's relentless attacks.
yup- i mean even the people in Kalifornia hate him....
No reason a Republican can't win 2028. They should have run Newsome instead of Kamilla.
As long as there is gerrymandering, demonicRATS will stand a chance.
Thiel gave Vance $15 million in his Senate election. That pretty much secured the election for Vance. Pretending Vance is not in cahoots with him and his plans is ridiculous.
BS. No one wants Newsome except Newsome.
Vance would clean his clock.
Both are important, but untaught.
I like Vivek, unlike many here at FR.
Hoping he is elected as Ohio governor.
Yeah- just imagine hair gel Newscum vs Vance in a fair debate. It would be even more lopsided than the Brandon/Trump debate. Vance would wipe the floor with hair gel!
YOU CAN POLL GROUND GOPHERS TO GET THE ANSWERS YOU WISH FOR.
I would never vote in a primary for the biggest Republican lover of HB1 visas.
Yeah- there is a BIG H1B problem in this country and I am disappointed that Trump hasn’t addressed it (neither has Vivek).
Leger360 poll?
Absurd!
It just clearly demonstrates that the American Communist Party is starting its march back to the WH early...
The only thing that will keep America’s Free Constitutional Republic from disappearing is dismantling the $3+ trillion, 80%+ unconstitutional portion of the federal gov’t.
Vivek can’t do that as Ohio Governor.
That would last until the first debate. Vance is quite capable of handling Newsom. In addition, the ads write themselves...show Newsom’s California. The homeless in the streets, the groups storming stores and stealing, the high taxes, the fires. He’s the 2028 version of Mike Dukakis.
Well I wouldn’t count on Vance addressing that issue either considering he has an Indian wife. I don’t want to sound overly racist here and think people should be judged as individuals but Indians strike me as overly nepotistic and not a good cultural fit for America if there’s too many of them. We already have enough of them here as it is.
The poll might be accurate, but I have trouble believing it. Remember, many Americans probably don’t realize who Newsome is or his record in CA. In a real election, these would become issues.
Governor, then president. :). I believe Vivek will work to dismantle the deep state swamp. He is for a limited, small fedgov.
I think Vance will get the R nomination, so he needs to put Vivek into a position that will allow him to do just that.
I hear you and agree.
