Surging Ramaswamy catches slumping DeSantis for first time
Washingtonexaminer ^ | July 20, 2023 | Paul Bedard

Conservative businessman Vivek Ramaswamy has caught up to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in a first national poll, a surprising tie as both are preparing to join in 2024’s first primary debate next month.

In the survey of likely Republican primary voters, Ramaswamy and DeSantis are tied at 12%, with former President Donald Trump continuing to dominate at 48%.

“Ramaswamy outperformed six other hopefuls by more than double, marking a significant surprise in this poll,” said pollster Doug Kaplan.

So you’re going to drop the “Trump 2.0” nonsense, since he hasn’t repudiated the LGBT movement, as you have falsely claimed? Or give me some evidence, I only want the truth.

And this is probably a first, but I agree with Reno89519.

Ramaswamy just says what he knows people want to hear. He’s WEF.

He’s no different than anyone in the company lunch room, “it this were my company I’d be doing this, that, and the other thing.”

She made a slip up on the lbgt agenda, and went against PT on Trade, she has been loyal to him though, and could be tutored as VP.

No, I’m not, because a Trump mad and looking for a reckoning is what I wanted all along.

Ramaswamy is at best a high school debater. He has no life experience, is inauthentic, and has no cultural understanding of the US or our constitution. People are simply humoring him.


You keep lying, and lie again....

Watch out everyone….two of most NeverTrump, NeverTrumpers, RDS-FanBois are in a cat fight.

And just who made you the supreme being that could sit in judgement of another’s commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ?

Last I remembered there is a commandment against that.

Judge not lest ye be judged.

And if Trump were to be judged by his good works, of which he has done plenty, he’d not be lacking.

He does many things out of the limelight, though many call him a braggart, and doesn’t want any credit.

The Bronze Star he got is an award that was handed out like tic tacs for folks deployed.

It’s an administrative award, while serving in a combat theater. The non-combat theater equivalent is the, meritorious service award. And rout it given to officers and senior NCOs to pad their resumes.

If it was a Bronze Star w V Device it means he did something in combat.

Audie Murphy he is not. And it’s pretty pathetic that you would insinuate anything more.

I served. And I watched E6s and E7s who didn’t do much more than play XBox, get them.

I was in the company formation when the battalion commander, who got a Purple Heart after shooting himself in the leg, handed them out.

Em...

I’m a Trump supporter. It should be clear from how the desantis supporters/nevertrumpers are attacking me.

You can’t run those business without H1B visas and remain competitive.

Ohhhh….so you’re ok with American IT workers getting squeezed out of jobs for cheap Indian labor.

Or, did Indian, Ramaswamy, intend to do that all along, thus exploiting workers and reeling the profits.

Not claiming that. If President Trump or anybody else are judged by their good works, than they are headed for Hell. Good works are as filthy rags Salvation is YESHUA plus nothing, to trust in him, and become a Disciple.

So your “Trump 2.0” fantasy is all a false pretense, or false witness. You have no proof Trump has actually changed his position on LGBT issues, despite claiming it explicitly on this thread, and being asked for proof repeatedly. I’d therefore suggest you refrain from referring to it, ever again, lest you be further exposed.

What do you mean…..with a SEAL team?

He was a military lawyer. He wasn’t out running missions with them. Do the female admin folks and generator repair guys get the same type of accolades from you, if they were forward deployed with a SEAL team?

No, I will keep doing it, despite your bullying. PT is a man who has had the scales fall from his eyes, and is out for blood.

I have been through 2 branches of service and 3 separate battlefields.

Very impressive. I can therefore understand why you might see a JAG officer as barely military. But, what DeSantis did is by volunteering and serving as he did, is still more admirable than Trump's multiple draft deferments, is it not? At least DeSantis could handle basic training?

I support Trump, but it is interesting to see how Vivek has advanced.

I think it is a clear lesson to the old-timer establishment republicans that the pre-Trump style of campaigning and messaging does not connect with the voter anymore.

You cannot BS with the primary voters that sending billions of dollars and soldiers to Ukraine is for freedom, especially when we are struggling.

You cannot BS to the voters that the southern border cannot be fixed.

You cannot BS to the voters that manufacturing cannot be brought back to the U.S. Trump did it.

I could keep on going. But old republicans who kiss up to democrats and are afraid to tell the truth about them or their policies, is well...old.

Blue barrel? No issued M4 in the US military inventory has a blue barrel unless it’s used for training with simunitions.

He is an enthusiastic and convincing speaker and probably could sell ice to Eskimos.

I don’t know enough about him to be adamant one way or another, but he’s been in the public eye too short a time to be viable this time around.
