What are the criticisms of this guy from conservatives? I just listened to him on the Summit with Tucker, and he seems solid. But admittedly I don't know anything about him.

Absolutely not.
The flames of the Imperium burn brightly in the hearts of men repulsed by degenerate modernity. Souls aflame with love of goodness, truth, beauty, justice, and order.

He's here to make money just like the rest of em


Only 1 politician in the history of America left office with less money than when he began his term

He is very smart and can explain complex issues in a understandable way. The more I hear him the more I really like him. We need a good communicator for conservative issues.

I will never trust him. He probably wanted to put together a vaccine database to punish the anti covid vaxxers


Quote:

Before rebranding as a warrior for free speech and a passionate crusader for privacy rights, newly announced presidential contender Vivek Ramaswamy was pitching the U.S. and world governments on his efforts to install a broad, centralized database of private medical records.

In a pursuit forged through one of his subsidiary companies, a "health information" data mining outfit called Datavant, Ramaswamy's outfit pursued the establishment of a single national and global database for all covid-related patient health records.

Through a partnership with Snowflake, a San Francisco based cloud computing company, Ramaswamy wanted to "fight covid-19" by manufacturing a "single repository of all the real-world medical data" thanks to the production of a "national data infrastructure" of private and public patient records, all without the consent of the actual patients.

Trump (unfortunately) and DeSantis are the only realistic contenders for Republicans at this point. Why debate anything about Ramamarthaswaney?

Why is him being Hindu a problem?

The country is flooding with illegals…worthless ones…currently.

Yep, a lot of red flags about him.

And as already mentioned, he is running basically to help Trump.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

I think he does a great job reaching his audience. Positive and optimistic. However, I do not think his style is a winning strategy.

In true Indian fashion, he has taken the best political rhetoric and optimizes it for himself.

My wife and I were just watching his videos. IMHO, he takes mannerisms from Trump and speech segments from Obama…I swear he goes too Obama sometimes and will bring himself out of it.

I do know Texas farm boys and Valley Hispanics would never give him a second thought.

He is good at the campaigning.

He is literally 10 years out of college. No.

Smart guy and I am great with him running for another office or serving in some other capacity but we don't need a 37 year old who basically made a bunch of money betting on Pharma that paid off running the country when we have at least 2 more competent options in DeSantis and Trump.

We need younger people leading, not 80 year olds. I would think late 30s to mid 50s would be optimal age.

Just like physical ability, cognitive ability begins degrading in your 30s and beyond. Sure wisdom and knowledge of life is the tradeoff, but only to a certain point.

Nothing. Would rather have Trump for 2nd term to see thru his vision (wouldn't be lame duck like most 2nd termer). Vivek has whole life ahead of him being only 37yo.

He'll be 38 in less than a month. His cognitive ability is probably higher than anyone else in the field. Doesn't mean he's ready to be POTUS, but I'd much rather have an informed and capable 38 year old than a bunch of the old gray-hairs post 65.

I'm all for younger people but not 37 as President, especially if they have never held elective office. DeSantis is only 44 but he served in the military, did 6 years in Congress, and has 5 years as Governor. He has diversity of experience and has shown he can lead at a significant but smaller level.

It's the 10 years out of college and no elected experience that makes Vivek a hard no. He can run for Governor or Senate (Ohio has a vulnerable Dem Senator up right now) and gain at least a little seasoning. He would be way over his head as President and the bigger problem is he doesn't even realize it. He really thinks he is just that smart. He has yet to admit he was completely wrong when he went out and said DeSantis was making a mistake against Disney and would lose. He just doesn't have the experience. I want him in the Party and for a future option but he isn't the guy for now and honestly he isn't a serious candidate for now. It's pretty clear he is a Trump lackey designed to take away votes from DeSantis awaiting some payoff from Trump.

Look just a little bit down the chess board, it's pretty obvious.

Not disagreeing with most of your points, but Trump didn't have elective office experience either.

Yeah but the guy is just so plain. He couldn't clearly articulate a plan for Ukraine. He just says sound bites and catch phrases he knows will play. He's not running a very substantive presidential campaign.

In my opinion, this is a plus. He's been a CEO which translates better than any congress position.

Still third in my choice, but I am willing to listen to his vision.

Trump didn't hold any offices before being President.

Arnold Schwarzenegger also didn't hold any office before being elected CA governor.

Right, but he was in his 60's and had massive real world experience and had been in and around politics for decades. He almost ran in 2000. He had massive international experience and knew a lot of international leaders personally.

The point is you need one or the other. A young guy with little real world experience and no public experience is not who needs to be the most powerful person on Earth.

Indians vote 72% for Dems. They don't understand exceptionalism. They buy into the lefts anti-white crap because of Britains history with India, so they inflict that sentiment against the patriotic party.

This is a good example of another thing that concerns me about Vivek. He really thinks a lot about himself. If he thinks that the Democrats are holding back on Biden out of fear of HIM he's just being stupid. I mean the point about Biden in a vacuum is fine but this certainly has nothing to do with Vivek.
