No job other than President for Vivek Ramaswamy
The Pioneer ^ | Sunday, August 27 2023 | Press Trust of India

(Washington/London): Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American 2024 US presidential aspirant, has hinted that he may run on a joint ticket with former president Donald Trump as his running mate if he does not win the Republican nomination, according to a media report.

The remarks by Ramaswamy came days after the 38-year-old multimillionaire biotech entrepreneur-turned-politician said he was “not interested” in any job other than president.

Ramaswamy said he believed he could only “reunite this country” as president, but did not rule out running with 77-year-old Trump as vice president if the former president and frontrunner wins the nomination for a third time.

Asked on Britain’s GB News whether he would be “happy to be (Trump’s) VP”, Ramaswamy replied: “See, this isn’t about me. If this were about me, sure. That’s a fine position for someone to have at my age.

“This is about reviving our country and I can only reunite this country if I’m doing it from the White House as the leader and the face of our movement.”

He added that he had “fresh legs” and was “almost half [Trump’s] age”, but would ask him to serve as “my most valued adviser” in the White House.

Rumours of a joint ticket between the two men in the 2024 race were fanned by the Trump campaign’s praise for Ramaswamy after the first Republican primary debate on Wednesday, in which he emerged as a breakout star.

A self-declared “outsider” who has no experience as an elected official has pledged to pardon Trump for any federal convictions on “day one” of his presidency and continue his legacy in the White House with an “America First 2.0” agenda, The Telegraph newspaper said. In previous interviews, Ramaswamy had denied becoming the former president’s running mate, insisting that he could only change the country if he won the top job.

“I’m not interested in a different position in the government. Frankly, I’d drive change through the private sector sooner than becoming number two or three in the federal government,” he told Fox News on Saturday.

His popularity rating and online fundraising have surged after his impressive performance at the first Republican presidential primary debate on Wednesday.

The first poll that came out after the debate said that 28 per cent of the 504 respondents said Ramaswamy performed the best. He was followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis with 27 per cent, and Pence (13 per cent). Indian-American Nikki Haley received the vote of seven per cent.

According to Fox News, Ramaswamy was the most Google-searched Republican candidate after the debate. He was followed by fellow Indian-American Haley.

Both the Indian-Americans were standing next to each other on the debate stage. Politico, a Washington metropolitan area-based politics-focused newspaper company, said that Ramaswamy, the brash and uber-wealthy entrepreneur, got under the skin of his rivals and praised Trump, calling him “the best president of the 21st century.”

I will never vote for a racist Brahmin supremicist. They treat their own people in India like subhuman trash and Viveck will do the same to Americans.

if you want America to look like the photo of India below, then by all means vote for Viveck and his disgusting caste system.

Ramaswamy has 10 times energy of the other 7 on debate stage and has IQ much higher as well. This primary season will not be boring with his presence.
But I am voting Trump all the way.

India never had slavery.
India never nuked civilians in 2 cities
India never had Brahmins only signs anywhere.
People who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others.

In case you haven’t noticed, many of the tech companies are run by Indians and have made no bones about deplatforming Whites who are advocates for protecting their heritage and traditions.
My 2nd part-time job involves customer service with many Indian clients. They are among the most racist and rudest people imaginable.

Casteism threatens constitutionalism
Indians have exported the prejudices of casteism abroad and the oppressed castes across the world need legal protection against this menace.

It is high time India tackled the ‘evil’ of the caste system
India's caste system is a vast systematic violation of the human rights of tens of millions of citizens.

This is second hand, but the word I’m hearing from around the current Trump campaign team is they don’t want to lay a glove on Vivek, at least at this time. Speculation isn’t so much about the Veep spot, but a cabinet post.

Granted this is little more than rumor, but it makes sense looking in from the outside. Might change if the polling moves, but right now Ramaswamy has been running roughshod over the rest of the Rep. field. Pence basically ended himself in the debate, but VR delivered the coup de grace. And he made DeSantis look weak and unprepared. At minimum, Trumps going to let Vivek continue to whittle down the l8st of candidates for a few months.

Mark Levin contrasts DeSantis and Ramaswamy at the debate in this little snippet. I agree with Levin wholeheartedly.

“India never had slavery.” What a laugh, India has has slaves and slavery for over 3000 years. In modern India the Dalits are subjugated slaves.
“India never nuked civilians in 2 cities” that is only because they didn’t invent them.
“India never had Brahmins only signs anywhere.” No, only “No Dalits”
“People who live in glass houses should not throw stones at others.” I never heard of India being behind the makings of the modern world. They were too busy burning windows, worshiping rats, and crapping on the little people.

Isn’t India where wommen get gang raped & beaten through the streets and the crowds cheer?

According to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), 2019-2021, “29.3 per cent of married Indian women between the ages of 18 and 49 have experienced domestic/sexual violence; 3.1 per cent of pregnant women aged 18 to 49 have suffered physical violence during their pregnancy.”May 14, 2023

Interesting thoughts.

I’m very leery of the guy at this point.

I think it may make sense as long as this guy is backing
a fair amount of Trump’s actions at this point.

I could go through your complete and utter ignorance of history point by point based on your post, but I'll start with this one...

India Has the Most People Living in Modern Slavery

Would you like me to continue on to your next historically incorrect point?
