At the center of the stage, and the center of the debate's hottest exchanges, was a 38-year-old man who no one expected to be there even a few months ago – a novice candidate and technology entrepreneur named Vivek Ramaswamy.
Though he’s well behind Trump, Ramaswamy has crept up in recent polls, leading to his position next to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at center stage. And he quickly showed why when he showcased his ready-for-video, on-message approach, talking about how his poor parents moved to the U.S. and he had the ability to found billion-dollar companies. Mp> Then Ramaswamy tried to show he wasn’t a regular politician and started to throw elbows. At one point he declared “I’m the only person on the stage who isn’t bought and paid for.” He slammed his rivals as “super PAC puppets” who were using “readymade, pre-prepared slogans” to attack him.
He seemed to be betting that primary voters preferred something memorable said to something done. His rivals were having none of it.

Hardly.
India by its constitution is SECULAR. Look up meaning of that word in dictionery.
In my own case, I spent 20 years of my life growing up in India. My best friends were Sikh, Muslims and Christians, even though I was born in a Hindu family. Nobody cares what your religion is except a few fanatics. In a population of 1500 million, there always will be few fanatics. Just go look at Bollywood, which produces more movies than any other couutry. Movies are the dominant entertainment in India. Guess what? You will find top actors and actressesfrom every religion there.
Think about this. India has more Muslims than most countries in the world. Yet not many Muslim fanatics (911 style) come from India. Because Muslims are well integrated into the society. They do not feel isolated. Ditto with millions of Christians.
Niki came across as a flaming neocon who resigned as UN ambassador because Trump would not let her start any wars.
Liz Cheney’s Twin Sister.
Yep, he made Haley look like a warmonger, Christie a fool with his roundabout knockout punch on the Trump stuff, made DeSantis look low energy. Tom Scott just didn’t have it.
Or he could head the cabinet demolition team eliminating education, energy, etc,.
Haha I agree with that. Do these career politicians even know or care that interest payments on national debt will be higher than defense budget in fiscal 2024?
Why are so many gong ho on spending money we don’t have on unnecessary foreign wars?
I wouldn’t even say riot. It was like a 60s college sit in protest.
It was a riot on the scale of, say, the Philadelphia Eagles winning a home game. Anyone babbling about J6 but not the multiple months of destruction by BLM that were state-sanctioned by Soros DAs, anyone on the right saying that needs to be ostracized from any kind of position of power
Bullseye!
Yes they will because they have amply demonstrated:
Rules don't apply to dims
They will change the rules to suit their needs.
-> India by its constitution is SECULAR
As per which ARTICLE(S) of the CONSTITUTION OF INDIA?
He doesn’t want to be VP, and why does he need Trump for anything?
Not whiny at all. He was energetic, focused, and stayed above the fray. He let the otehr candidates talk to each other while he talked to the voters.
dont get me wrong, I LOVE DeSantis, but there was just something subtle with his tone, that to me at least came across as slightly whinny or, maybe petulant.
I don’t know! All I know is how it made me feel. Where I liked everything he said, but not how he said it, and also something is off with his smile.
This is SILLY stuff I KNOW! but I felt I should give my personal reaction.
He reached through the screen in a way I haven’t seen among Republicans in years. Reagan did it; Trump did the first time. DeSantis spent his time talkign directly to voters, while Ramaswamy continually interrupted like President Trump did in that disastrous first debate with Biden.
Lets be honest, Obama did too.
Our opponents can have political skills, even if we disagree with everything they want to use those skills to push.
And Sikhs, Dalits., Assamese, Bodos, Nagas, etc.
Trump is Truthing like crazy today, accusing DeSantis of not vaccinating anough people.
And the Jews! (But then again everybody persecutes the Jews)
