Trump supporters in New Hampshire want Vivek Ramaswamy as vice president pick: Anti-woke entrepreneur displaces Kari Lake as MAGA darling in DailyMail.com poll

Donald Trump's supporters in New Hampshire have a new favorite choice for vice president: They want youthful anti-woke entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy on the ticket.

He displaces Arizona's election-denying Kari Lake in the affections of MAGA world, according to a new DailyMail.com poll.

Ramaswamy, who has blitzed the early primary state with grassroots events, claims 19 percent of the VP vote ahead of South Carolina Senator Tim Scott and Lake who both take 17 percent.

It comes amid reports that Trump has cooled on Lake and days after he singled out Ramaswamy and Scott for praise while floating the idea the he could choose one of his opponents as his eventual running mate.

For his part, Ramaswamy told DailyMail.com he is in the race to win it, not settle for a runners-up prize.

Either way, it shows early state momentum for the likes of Scott and Ramaswamy, said James Johnson, who conducted the J.L. Partners poll.

'Though Vivek Ramaswamy is only the choice of four percent of New Hampshire primary voters for the presidential nomination, he has surged to the top of the table for who Trump voters want as the GOP's candidate for vice president,' he said.

'He is not the only one in contention — Kari Lake is snapping at his heels as is Tim Scott.

'But as voters settle on a top two of Trump and DeSantis in the presidential race, he does seem to be making headway in the race for Trump's attention.

'Whether he would take such a job — or if Trump would want someone with big ideas of his own in the role — remains to be seen.'

The former president told Fox News last week that he was impressed by the field running against him.

My other concern is I want him to provide proof that he is a Natural Born Citizen, thus qualifying him to become president. No more usurpers. That proof would be him being born after his parents were naturalized, and not before.

Yup, that's the other issue. I'm surprised there isn't more questioning about that.

The newest concocted issue to cynically fleece the American public brought to you by Vivek & Peter Thiel, grift capitalism.
Excerpt
“In the unlikely event the world’s largest and most competent asset managers bend to this naked use of political power—a true violation of fiduciary duty—this means someone else will have to manage these assets. Like Strive Asset Management! (Vivek’s newest company) And any other asset manager who solemnly promises to have nothing to do with sustainable investing even if this means a potentially massive increase in risk to the detriment of long-term returns. Smart sustainable investing reduces risk, not the opposite. Even though there could be real costs to the hard working, ordinary Americans living in these Red states, hey, why worry about fiduciary duty when pension funds can be weaponized? Just 0.1 percent of $1.68 trillion would multiply Strive’s AUM by a factor of around 80. Not bad at all!”

The Democrats could only wish to do as much damage to the republican party, as it does to itself. Republicans are eating their own.

I’m not sure that DeSantis can be PDJT’s running mate ... something about both guys from the same state.

Well, he doesn’t talk like one, which is not easy to fake.

I don't want talk. I want a record of accomplishments.

Why are we supporting a “not qualified illegal alien” as the nominee or part of the ticket. Just because the democrats do it doesn’t make it right.

She’s had quite a few court hearings. The last resulted in sanctions to the tune of 122K. She needs to find a way to pay those off. That’s almost a year salary as governor of Arizona.

Not just no, but HELL NO. That would be even worse than picking Pence (another RINO) for VP.

Vivek is another RINO squish that got a “leg up” from a Soros ahole.

Let’s put it this way. If Trump picks this ahole for VP, I’m out and I’m coming out against it.

Vivek attacking conservatives over wearing masks issue:

“In July 2020, Ramaswamy tweeted that “wearing a mask = personal responsibility” and said it was “puzzling when conservatives oppose it.”

https://www.westernjournal.com/fact-check-soros-family-help-vivek-ramaswamy-go-law-school/

“He then crammed in a Yale law degree, then magically was awarded a fellowship from Paul Soros, George Soros secretive older brother also from Hungary (The Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans).”

https://aim4truth.org/2023/03/20/groomed-vivek-g-ramaswamy-is-a-deep-soros-plant/

““In 2010, I won a scholarship when I was 24, 25 years old, headed to law school, that was partly funded by, not George Soros, but Paul Soros, who’s a relative, a brother of George Soros, who made his money independently, who, by the way, is now dead.””

Thank you for referencing that article libh8er.

"Trump supporters in New Hampshire want Vivek Ramaswamy as vice president pick: Anti-woke entrepreneur displaces Kari Lake as MAGA darling in DailyMail.com poll"


Concerning Trump's VP, patriots are reminded that one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the constitutionally limited power feds to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service.

So after Trump 47 finishes not only draining the swamp, but also working with state and federal patriot lawmakers and executives to surrender state powers that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds have been stealing from the states back to the states, then Trump, and whoever the vice president is, will be able to start spending much time on the golf courses, appropriately symbolic of the peacetime, constitutionally limited power federal government.

In other words, golf courses is one thing that Obama got right about the constitutionally limited power federal government.

Regarding 2024 elections, it's entirely up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to initiate Trump's return to the Oval office by primarying ALL incumbent state and federal lawmakers and executives up for reelection except for MTG, Gaetz, Jordan and a few other patriot lawmakers.

After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.

Exclusive: Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘Dumbfounded’ GOP Colleagues Will Not Call for Biden’s Impeachment! (6.10.23)

But regardless that more than 25% of the useable current legislative secession is gone, Mayorkas might still be ahead of Biden in the impeachment queue.

Kevin McCarthy Calls for Alejandro Mayorkas to Resign, Threatens Impeachment if DHS Secretary Resists (November.22.2022)

Again, since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the Mail Service, the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of freshman lawmakers is arguably a delay with mail delivery.

Trump can endorse candidates from lists that Constitution-savvy patriots recommend as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.

The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.

Patriots, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for a third time in 2024.

We need Kari Lake in AZ, as in; Senator Lake.

Well, the Senate election is one of those Federal mini-Presidential races - and the Dark State spent countless millions in 2022 to get Mark Kelly re-elected.

IMHO, Lake would have a better chance of winning a recall election against Hobbs - but all talk of that seemed to fade away this summer...for some reason.

Either way, Trump's VP needs to be a figure like Michael Flynn - who can be given special military powers to deal with the traitors and will know exactly how to use them.

Trump actually went out and put together a national campaign, won primaries against a bunch other successful Republicans.

Kari Lake has run for office one time and lost, Vivek Ramaswamy to my knowledge has never run for any office and has never won a primary, if he does that in the upcoming primaries, then he will warrant consideration.

I think the senate race in AZ hinges on Sinema. If she runs independent she loses. If she goes back to the Dems, they will forgive her and vote for her.
