You may not have heard of Vivek Ramaswamy, but he is a worthy heir to Trump. | Opinion
Lexington Herald Leader ^ | 4.20.2023 | Steve Nussbaum

Posted on 04/20/2023 10:22:03 AM PDT by libh8er

Most of you are probably not familiar with the name “Vivek Ramaswamy.” He is currently the least-well known Republican presidential primary candidate. But that will undoubtedly change after the first GOP presidential primary debate in August.

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a total Trump supporter: I’m all in for Trump in 2024. In fact, I believe Trump is the ONLY presidential candidate across all political parties who can restore this country to its position of worldwide prominence and leadership we enjoyed during his first term. But, after listening to Mr. Ramaswamy — the son of immigrants from India — I believe I’ve found the true “future Trump.” Like Trump, he’s a successful, worldwide businessman with an acute awareness of social, economic and foreign policy matters. He is brilliant, articulate and knowledgeable about public- and private-sector issues, both foreign and domestic. He offers a sincere, spontaneous delivery that will enable him to shine at the August debates. And he will undoubtedly be a valuable asset in the next Trump administration. I urge you to learn more about this amazing individual in his quest for high political office.

In my opinion — and in the view of many - our country and Constitution is currently under siege by those advocating Communist ideologies antithetical to the American way of life: culturally, spiritually, economically and educationally. During his first term, Trump exposed and brought to prominence the threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). In fact, historians may well view this feat as one of the most important accomplishments of Trump’s presidency. Over the past thirty years, the CCP has infiltrated this country’s institutions — such as the recent Justice Department arrest of two Chinese nationals accused of running a police operation in New York to silence dissidents — abetted by foreign and domestic actors who hate this country, as well as politicians who are either too greedy or too weak to stand up to this pernicious, existential threat to our way of life.

Only Trump’s America First paradigm can counter this anti-American trend and restore the values and prosperity that has made the United States the greatest country in world history. Many advocates of Trump’s America First manifesto have names like Patel, Ramaswamy, Luna, Reyes, etc. I think it’s ironic and amusing that these first- and second-generation legal immigrants may well be the most likely saviors of our nation. These immigrants have the most profound understanding of and appreciation for the freedoms this country has to offer. By their own accounts, many of these immigrants left their home countries like Cuba, Venezuela, Eastern Europe, etc. to escape the economic carnage and loss of individual liberties imposed under Socialist regimes.

By contrast, it seems our younger generations have little respect for the U.S. Constitution and the freedoms this document bestows. They believe climate change is a more existential threat than the CCP; that instant gratification is a more important value than hard work and freedom; that the government should run our lives and bestow our rights instead of Almighty God; and that the Constitution is an inconvenient document whose amendments can be shredded when conditions suit.

Like many of my conservative ideologues, I believe that Generations X, Y and Z are preoccupied with important issues like abortion rights, gun control and concerns about climate change to the detrimental minimization or utter disregard for such issues as voter integrity, inflation, flagrant governmental over-spending, Biden’s border policies, the threat of China’s impending world dominance and our acknowledged loss of world-wide prestige starting with the administration’s disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. Perhaps it’s time to raise the voting age to 35! Otherwise, I suggest our younger folks start learning how to speak Mandarin.

Who’s the buffoon now?

That would still be the NBC kooks on this board who hold contradictory views on who should be president based on their ignorance and bigotry.

“ Did Trump serve in Congress? Or any elected office?”

No - and it was obvious.

No, not like Mike Pence at all.

Pence was OK up until Jan 6, 2021.

Hope he was well paid for what he did to freedom that day.

Both Donald Trump’s parents were US citizens at the time of his birth. Donald Trump is a natural born US citizen.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Ses who? NBC kooks who don’t know the law?

Naturally Trump is a US citizen. As is Vivek. As is Obama.

That’s all that matters.

Which of his policies do you not like?
He certainly achieved tangible positives here and overseas.

Not perfect but successful in many areas

Did his parents naturalize before his birth?

Did Kamala’s? Did Ted Cruz’s? Did Barack Sr. “naturalize”?

Who cares? Think what you want about a poorly written law that has been amended to the point of being a meaningless argument - There has never been a court decision denying a US citizen the right to be president.

Never.

NBC is a dead letter in the Constitution. After Obama anyone on earth can run for and be elected president though probably age requirement still stands.

NBC before Barak Hussein meant born in the USA of two citizen parents. After Barak Hussein NBC is just the name of a broadcasting company.

I’ve heard him a few times. He’s nice, smart, and well-spoken. He has no grasp of some things a President needs. We have neither the time nor patience while he gets on the job training. Thanks for playing the home game!

Exactly. It needs to be adjudicated.

Many

Trump didn’t have a voting record or any political experience either, and we took a risk with him. That said, it would be reassuring to see VR, who is clearly an impressive guy, serve in some political capacity so we could see how he does in terms of producing results.

If that’s the Ugly American attitude you have, then you deserve whatever Democrat gets elected.

People won’t remember his name when they go to vote.
