Republicans have been saying that since Reagan. It's probably not going to happen until the federal government financially implodes. Then they'll try to hold on to their biggest needs to maintain authority like military and police. As a result, education and a lot of other things they can all surrender to the states.

[@dwindeyer]

@@Bryan-yf5yq There is a difference between mentioning and pressing on a subject for an extended time. A significant portion of this interview is trying to get Vivek to either sound crazy by not condemning trump or to lose voters by condemning trump. It's entirely unnecessary for him to analyse Trump in detail during this interview in order to present his case for presidency. He re-iterated several times he would have made different judgements, the reporter never even cared to ask "What would you have done differently", instead pivoted to several different ways of trying to get the required answer.

Vivek is brilliant. His deep understanding of the constitution, law and history will set him apart from other candidates.

[@dakota4211]

I agree with you 100%, an this comes from a 81 year old Trumper, period.

[@VivekSmith]

Vivek does not have a "deep understanding of the constitution." He copied his talking points from The Federalist Society, which twists the facts to justify a warped conservative agenda. The basic problem is, over 200 years have passed since "First Principles." Our society has changed. There were no hospitals. Women gave birth at home, attended by midwives, not doctors. They lived in colonies, which didn't become a nation until 1800. Today, women are more than half the students in grad school, also medical school. Ramaswamy wants to go back to a legal system that denies women a right to make decisions. I've met lots of women who are much smarter than Ramaswamy. I see no reason to let a person still trapped two centuries in the past to write Executive Orders so his Fantasies can play out?

They looked for the person (Hunter to untimatly try to bring Joe down)..Found he made a lot of money (which they think looks suspicious). And then they LOOK for a crime committed.

No, seriously, haven't you seen his plan for the FBI? Let's think about a murder. Who does the autopsy? Who runs tests on bullets taken out of the corpses? Support. The FBI employes 20,000 support Ramaswamy's plan is to fire all 20,000. How is the world's premier law enforcement agency supposed to work without support? Ramaswamy is possibly the worst candidate on the Republican ticket. No matter how many tell Ramaswamy his plan won't work, he responds by repeating his memorized stump speech, over and over. When this started, I agreed that the Department of Education had gone too far. Is there a need to educate children about gay issues? Gay people think so. But there is also a line where children are too young to be indoctrinated. Then, Ramaswamy said, "I'm not running for President on my own, but God is acting through me." I've run into so many religious nuts, I know Ramaswamy spent too much time talking to Evangelicals at Faith & Freedom conferences. He drank the Kool-Aid.

[@denisegibson2870]

​​@@AChillin01RYes. If Trump is convicted (found guilty) of a federal crime, Ramaswami will pardon him (forgive his offense). His rational for issuing a pardon is that it would not be in America's best interest for an incoming President to punish or imprison a political opponent (as this is a common practice in most authoritarian governments around the globe). It is important to note that: a) in order for a pardon to be issued, a crime must be committed, and b) the incoming president can not pardon any State crimes Trump may be convicted for (only the federal crimes). I do not know what the 'right' answer is, but I suspect most of, if not all, the candidates would do the same.

That makes it even more suspect. Marshall McLuhan said, "The medium IS the message" -- meaning, the fact he is allowed on all these platforms shows he is not being gate-kept. Compare this to a presidental candidate like Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, the man who invented email at the age of 14 --- the MSM is terrified of letting his message get out and giving him any platform. The man was married to Fran Drescher, and had hobnobbed with many famous people and elites, yet they never allow him to be on their platforms. Vivek appears to be the "not so obvious establishment." I've been watching him very closely, I watch everything he puts out, and he just isn't as raw and real as Dr. Shiva

Try again. Shiva is trying to put across his ideas and policy positions since when? I have seen him run for president from 2015. Either people are not buying what ever he is selling or he just bad at building a political base of some value. He needs to keep moving convincing people be on the campaign trail.

[@quentincampbell612]

​@@robynnordstrom7799mam, I've listened to many hour long podcast interviews with Vivek. He's not taking anything away from anyone. He's said it's a conversation starter about how to get people talking about voting. He wouldn't follow through with it unless there's a consensus on support of it and he's open to ideas about getting people within that age group to vote. Additionally,from an interview with Politico The founding fathers didn’t get it “quite right” when they tied the right to vote to land ownership, Ramaswamy said. Similarly, it was wrong to have denied a vote to women and African Americans, he said. But after floating at a few recent campaign stops, particularly colleges, the idea of requiring service or civic knowledge for young adults to vote - a version of which Ramaswamy had explored in his two books - he got his best crowd response to date on Sunday, at an event largely attended by Asian Americans in Novi, Mich. Members of the audience, which included a number of immigrants, came up to Ramaswamy afterward to praise the suggestion, which appeared to “seal the deal” for Ramaswamy, according to the campaign adviser. “My response to that is, the objective is not to stop people from voting,” he said. “It’s to value voting itself and everybody’s equal and on the same foot at the age of 25 and onward.” Also, I've seen quite a few people that age group saying they're for Vivek. I hope you're grandkids get as much information as they can regarding Vivek's full stance about it so they can decide for themselves.

This is why we have to vote for Vivek. Trump opened the Swamp but now is time to march forward. Vivek is the only man that can save this beautiful country. Don't waste any time period. Trump has to much on his shoulder, Vivek is young, an outsider, super smart and has a clean slate. Bring that to the debate. And this all comes from a 81 year old Trumper.

Trump Derangement Syndrome on the Left and Never-Trumpers on the Right will cost Trump the next election.

[@nancywebb5774]

I truly do not believe Trump "drained the swamp", in fact, I think he probably added to it by firing anyone who disagreed with him, and hiring only "yes men" more interested in furthering their own careers than serving the nation. That's not draining a swamp

[@mimo5853]

Vivek is great. If Trump wins the nomination he should seriously consider Vivek for his VP. If for some reason Trump drops out (I don’t think he will, but if for some reason he is no longer in the race) than Republicans should vote for this guy in the primaries and the general. He’s way better than Desantis or any of the other candidates. If Trump stays in I don’t think Vivek would be able to be him…… Trump still has such a loyal following and he’s polling even higher with all of this political targeting by the corrupt Biden admin & DOJ. Vivek wouldn’t be able to peel enough voters from Trump to catapult over him. Which is why I say he’d be a great VP pick. Desantis is sliding in the polls, and Vivek is climbing. It’s going to get interesting!

Finally a candidate with intellect that understands the issues and problems we face as a nation, and most important, offer solutions and vision to achieve those goals! I will support his run to become the next President and pray other Americans will listen to what he has to offer.

This guy doesn't seem real. He has so much knowledge on so many topics, and the ability to so eloquently state his position based on facts, is insanely impressive. Could he be an AI version of a presidential candidate?? Good luck for the elections, Vivek!

Very true. an AI version. Great observation.

It doesn’t surprises me. Just looked ok at his background. He is a rare mix of top academic credentials and an entrepreneurial background delivering life saving drugs at a young age. Just lock him up in a room with Obama, Clinton and top lefties in a room and wait to see who comes out scratching their heads

Vivek doesn’t cross his knees when he sits down. He’s one of us.
