Vivek Ramaswamy, The ‘Funny’ Name Thing Isn’t Cute When You Do It
Yahoo!, HuffPost ^ | 8/31/23 | Ian Kumamoto

Duringthefirst Republican presidential primary last week, Vivek Ramaswamy introduced himself by saying that he was a “skinny guy with a funny last name,” echoing a line from former President Barack Obama. Although he was referencing and, in some weird way, aligning himself with the former president, it just didn’t hit the same way it did when Obama said it for several reasons.

First off, boo, you do not reflect the values of other people of color in this campaign like Obama did. Not even South Asian Americans. So your little joke didn’t come across as playful — it came across as placating

George Soros is a billionaire too but that doesn’t qualify him to be president.
It isn’t about money it’s about ability to deal with world leaders as Trump has for many years before ever becoming president.

Ramaswamy is nothing but a fast talking self promoter who owns a company.

One name you cannot change in Vivek’s past is Soros.

So what?

Vivek received tuition scholarship from a Soros foundation........ but he could never have received it UNLESS he espoused the Soros idealogy A to Z.

Are you sure about that? Did applicants for scholarships from that foundation have to pass an ideolgical litmus test?

A lot of bigots here hate Vivek. Lot of people revealing themselves to be nasty folks.

I suspect that some of them are infiltrators from Antifa or other leftist groups. Others are likely white supremacists who have found their way to FR. But I suspect they are a tiny minority. Most grassroots conservatives I know are bullish on Vivek.

HAHAHAHAHAHA good old liberal tactic of switching horses in middle of stream.

I was commenting on your inane and illogical comparison between Obama and Ramaswamy.

Trump is Billionaire just like Ramaswamy, and I like both of them.

Ramaswamy has zero international leader skills to deal with leaders of the world he wants to stop funding Israel and has many other cookie ideas he’s like Biden clueless in international issues and national issued.

Hot air and self pimping is all he has.
