Vivek Ramaswamy Town Hall on NewsNation

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy spoke about polarization, free speech, international aggression and religious liberty during his first national town hall Monday on NewsNation.
“I do not want to see us march to some national divorce, I want to lead us to a national revival,” Ramaswamy said to NewsNation’s Leland Vittert.

If Vivek gets chosen by the majority i hope he seeks guidance and advice from Rfk Jr on how to deal with the various bureaucracy monsters. Rfk has been exposing or dismantling or partly fixing them for 40 years through his work as a lawyer in the courts of law. Rfk is an expert on agency capture / crony capitalism. He knows where the bodies are buried. He has thought deeply about potential solutions from a place of knowledge and experience. He has a vast network of people and the advantage of time allowing him to see who displays integrity and honkr and who has demonstrated the oposite. I would bet on Rfk's proposed solutions more than anyone else's. Vivek has the will and he thinks he has the way and I'm sure many of his ideas make sense but I just find it very difficult to entertain that Vivek has better solutions than Rfk who has been thinking about these things for longer than Vivek has been alive. Plus Rfk has been battling the exact problem in the courts for that time. I'd love to see Rfk start the process of draining the swamp. Rfk is getting up there in age (69 years old). I'd love to see Rfk do a term and to jave Vivek take over and continue dismantling (or fixing where possible) the corrupted corrupting deep state.

Vivek just the best option in the primaries. We are kind of in the same position as the dems in 2020. At least in the perspective of those angry about trump and the pandemic. The mistake was “falling in line” with the presumed default position in Biden. They were given many vague policies, a few seemingly populist positions, but at the end we’re disappointed with a largely even split down the aisle where nothing could happen in either political direction. Assuming trump can get past the legal issues and wins, it’s going to be a deadlock. Political doldrums.
