I wouldn't vote for him because he worships an elephant thing and some evil demon thing.

As proof of just how weird this year is going to be, we're heading into the first weekend of 2024 seeing me do something I almost never do: softening my opinion of a Republican politician I never really liked before.
For most of the DonkeyManureClownCar Republican primary debate season, I've found tech bro (h/t VodkaPundit) Vivek Ramaswamy to be a tedious nit who adds nothing to any of the national conversations that we should be having. He has scored a couple of scripted blows against Nikki Haley, but high fiving that is like giving someone a participation trophy for flossing one day in a row.
I have, I will admit, been harshly judgmental of any Republican voter and/or conservative pundit who has experienced a "YAY, VIVEK!" moment.
Until now.
Vivek Ramaswamy has no bona fides as a conservative, or anything else, for that matter. He thought he was a libertarian for a while, then he just did a peace out on voting for a long time, and now he's a Republican. His hot takes aren't rooted in ideology; they tend to seem like something he cobbled together after hours of scrolling social media.
Back to the scripted thing. Whenever he delivers what he thinks is a zinger in a debate it's obvious that he's workshopped it with his staff during prep. The only genuine moments I've seen from him are when he is lambasting the Democrats' flying monkeys in the mainstream media for their egregious bias.

Ramaswamy is quick on his feet, which is obviously not a trait shared by many Republican candidates. But, as the article insinuates, it is questionable whether he is truly a conservative.
The Kenyan was just as good at the BS and the messiah-worshiping left didn’t need any proof he was the real deal. We have different/higher standards. That’s why we’re more likely to go for the vetted losers-think McLame/Mittens. When we stumble the rats come up with the B.J.’s and Obama’s. We’ll never win their way. Just as well.
There is a huge difference between talking the talk and doing things. That is why Trump was so successful - he did hard things in his life. Vivek would be great as Press Secretary. I think it would be attractive to him because he would be in the circle of power.
My thought too — he’d make a fabulous as press secretary.
Everyone with a blog wants to convince you they’re smarter than Vivek - but they’re not even close to being in his league.
How many times have I posted the same thing?
Vivek would be best press secretary in 100 years. Smart as they come, puts up with exactly zero bullschtein from the presstitutes.
I don't know, I think it would be fun to watch him heading the State Department.
Whether or not various people believe he is a conservative, he certainly understand conservatism.
You are actually familiar with Ramaswamy, right? He has certainly accomplished hard things in his life.
He would certainly *not* want the Press Secretary position.
That’s one obvious fit.
Point-man on restructuring the executive branch would be interesting as well.
Even the position of VP is beneath him ! In his words when asked if he would be willing to run as Trump's running mate, "Neither Trump nor I do well in a subordinate position.."
And here we have people thinking he would be a good fit for "press sec"..
