Who Is It That Vivek Ramaswamy Thinks He Can Unite ?
I have seen Vivek Ramaswamy on two shows this morning, and it is not exaggeration to say that he claimed he will "unite" the country at least 10 times. It is almost the main theme of his campaign.
My question is "what does "the nation" or "country" mean to this guy?
He has zero chance of uniting the country if we are talking about any people outside of MAGA. Maybe less than zero is there is such a thing.
Am I missing something?
He said again today that he is running against Trump because it will take a "landslide" victory to unite the nation and he is the only one that can deliver a landslide.
He told Chuck Todd this morning that if he becomes president he will bring Donald Trump on board as a mentor and advisor to the president. Is this his idea of "uniting"?
Obviously Ramaswamy is a total bullshit artist, but what I dont understand is why he thinks this "uniting" bilge is a way to win an election.

I know he's not going to win anything, but he will be annoying the hell out of everybody for the next six months.
That pretty much sums it up JR. He's a successful and bright guy with some good ideas, but wants to be a Trump mini-me, including being an annoying asshole. He'll get a few more moments of fame, but probably not six months.
Apparently he thinks that Trump’s most hardcore base is actually the majority of the country and not the roughly 15% they actually make up? Or maybe he doesn’t consider outside of that base to be a legitimate part of the country, because he clearly has no interest in appealing to independents or democrats in any way shape or form.
He's trying to channel Trump, but the people won't end up buying it. Winning the independents and some Dems is key.
Trump's 15% support, which is closer to reality than other estimates, means he has no chance to overcome his unpopularity with the majority of Americans and be able to win a national election. He's one and done.
He won in 2016 for two reasons, one the Dems just had to nominate the one candidate that could lose to Trump. I am convinced that had the nominated Sanders Trump would have lost. Trump was appealing the same 70000 voters that put Trump over the top except he isn’t nearly as big of an asshole and didn’t have nearly the same level of baggage as either Clinton or trump.
Two, he was somehow able to convince enough people that his mannerism and actions were just campaign stuff and that he is actually totally different behind closed doors. He doesn’t have that now, eve try one knows it not an act, he is really that big of a douchebag.
Trying to campaign on “I’ll be just like trump” isn’t going to win you anything, everyone’s kinds are already made up.
MAGA is highly unlikely to elect a President Ramaswamy based on the name and skin tone alone. He is dreaming if he think Trump’s base is considering him a viable candidate.
How many brown people are in the democratic presidential race?
How many ran in 2020?
I know, it’s so unusual when minorities run as Democrats.
Apparently so....when you won't answer the question.
BTW...I didn't say minorities. I said brown people.
Newsflash - brown people are minorities.
Good for you. You understand definitions.
However, brown people are not the ONLY minorities.
How did Nikki Haley win the governorship twice in her racist, Southern state?
For all intents and purposes Nikki Haley looks, sounds, and is named like a white lady.
In her announcement speech, she identified as “I was the proud daughter of Indian immigrants. Not Black, not white. I was different."
At campaign events she talks about her heritage and being raised the only brown child in a Black and white world.
Obviously she isn't Brown enough for you.
Obviously?
Lousy contrast in the meme.
I don’t care where her parents came from, she’s a Republican who also announced that she would vote for Trump if he’s the nominee. She is therefore ineligible as a candidate for my vote, period.
If they commit to voting for Trump if he’s the nominee then yes, absolutely. It’s like admitting they are insane.
Oh, your earlier point was Repubs wouldn't vote for some who had immigrant parents and wasn't white 4.0
Tim Scott probably isn't Black enough for you either.
Lol. Why are you dragging me into this? I’ve said why she is ineligible for my vote and it has nothing to do with how brown she is. She actually sounded the most sane out of everyone at the debate, with the exception of the one disqualifying comment. She didn’t need to go there but she did. It shows an extreme weakness. Maybe there’s some truth in what Michael Wolff had to say about her relationship with Trump.
Token Tim is a Republican with horrific policy ideas and is one of the many on stage making the ridiculous claim that Democrats push for abortion at the moment of birth. He’s also another whack job who said he’d vote for Trump if he’s the nominee. Fuck Tim Scott.
Your comment 4 said otherwise
I thought that she won the debate.
She knows that she can't win the primary otherwise.
Like Biden in 2012 saying "They are going to put y'all back in chains" to a largely Black audience.
My comment 4 doesn’t involve me or my vote at all. It’s simply an observation about MAGA. There were two candidates who did not raise their hands when asked by the moderator if they were insane enough to vote for Donald Trump should he be the nominee. Are you suggesting they drop out now since they doomed their chances?
Yea, I got that and I offered a couple of differing observations.
No, neither are in the race to win but to try to persuade the Party to dump Trump. I want them to continue.
Just another Uncle Tom.
If she were half black, half white and had a mentor that was known for their bombing of federal buildings, and vowed to fundamentally transform the country, she would be brown enough for the left.
Typical racist comment by the left.
Got any more?

Makes no sense, but OK....whatever you say....
It would also help if she had a racist preacher, that asked God to damn America.
Now THAT would put her over the top.

We can discuss if’s for anyone sane enough to not say they will support a twice impeached four time indicted racist ignoramus serial pathological liar for President of the United States.
I don't think Biden has been impeached twice yet, but, hey.....anything can happen.
All it takes, apparently, is an anonymous "whistleblower".
Still stupid....and childish
Still not gonna answer the original question, huh?
Not surprised.
Castro, Booker, Harris, Yang, Patrick, Gabbard - all minorities, all 2020 Democrat candidates. That’s five out of 18. Why would you ask such a stupid question?
Correction, it’s six out of 18.
The same group as before.
"Heil Ramaswamy" doesnt have the same ring to it though that "Heil Trump" does.
There was this gathering of Nazi Trump supporters.
You do know that neo Nazis said "Hail Trump" after he won in 2016 dont you?
Maybe you dont. You should probably read something besides Fox News.
Bingo.
There are some right wings propagandists who pretend that these people don't exist and go around denouncing people who tell the truth about them.
And, of course, we are all aware that the Republican Supreme Leader Donald Trump hosted a neo-Nazi and vicious anti-Semite at Berchtesgaden, I mean Mar-a-Lago, as recently as November 22, 2022.
Sorry, Trump was a Republican in 2016, in fact he was the leader of the Republican Party just like he is today.
Trump hosted a meeting at his home with neo-Nazis and Hitler supporters less than a year ago. See my comment above.
We have a neo Nazi saying Hail Trump and Trump is a Republican.
What on earth are you talking about?
I probably read 5 times as much as you do.
By the way, we're done. Stop now or be deleted. You have said what you wanted to say.
This guy is just another cookie cutter fake "rebel" that the Republican party trots out to pander to their base voters. Sarah Palin was one, Trump was one, and a host of other wanna be losers who have been attempting the trick of showcasing themselves as a "rebel" in order to hope beyond all hope that they will "win". Trump managed to break through, but only because he blinded the base with his global wealth and showmanship knowing full well he is everything they hate. Also knowing if he repeatedly managed running his P.T. Barnum style snake oil method of rallies and campaigning they would fall for it and they did.
