I think Vivek Ramaswamy will be the next president.

He's the wrong color. The Southern states will NEVER EVER go for that.

Dark Indian is that same as Dark African as far as they care.

Hey, did you folks know that Baptists (in general) used to believe that slavery was OK because POC had no souls? That's why their skin was dark, at least that was their thinking.

I think you are incorrect.

R1?

Please do not come away with just that.

The cult shows no signs of casting the cult leader aside. Everybody else is fighting for Miss Runnerup, although I think a few like Nimrata have decided to give up and go for some kind of centrist spokesmodel or something.

R3 - What was your question?

No, too many blatant racists in the Republican party for him to gain real traction, or party support.

dreary rich huckster fuckwad. Probably will be the vice presidential nominee. Every reason to vote against Trump also applies to this whore, so he won't do much good.

I can't imagine Vivek being the VP nominee because Trump won't allow anyone other than himself to suck all of out the energy out of a room.

Vivek is a snake-oil salesman like the fringe lefties like Stein, Marianne Williamson is, as well as parasitic Tulsi and Yang.

They get people’s attention by shitting on institutions without legitimate plans on how to replace them. Bernie is a tad guilty of this.

Vivek talks fast so dumber people have no chance to fact-check or calculate how stupid he sounds.

He will pivot to libertarian or independent or whatever he can to appease his egotism.

Illegality and accusations will turn up in his businesses because he is a compulsive liar and way too rich too young.

He got rich by bilking investors and Alzheimer's patients

He is a crook

^^Vivek is a snake-oil salesman like the fringe lefties like Stein & Marianne Williamson are,

True r10, but for Republicans that just makes him more awesome.

OP here. Your responses give me hope that Vivek Ramaswamy will not be a thing. However we felt the same way about Trump in 2016.

The GOP is already lining up behind him. After Trump, anything is possible. Trump will be forced to drop out as he’s going to be in court non-stop and DeSantis is DOA. This clown is all that they have left and after Trump, he could easily win the general.

[quote] No, too many blatant racists in the Republican party for him to gain real traction

Look at the polls, look at conservative media. They will vote for him. They love Herman Cain and Candace too. They don’t give a shit about race as long as the person has committed identity suicide.

They voted for Herschel Walker, who is brain damaged and came within 2 points of winning. They voted for Bobby Jindal and Nikki Haley. They support Clarence Thomas and they would vote for him if he ran for president.

Saw him interviewed by Stephanopoulos this morning. He's regurgitating all the Trumpy Republican talking points so he's got a shot. I just wish someone would sit all the GOP candidates down and have them actually read the Presidential Records Act, which they keep citing in Trump's defense, because it does not say what they think it says.

Joe Biden would tear him apart and btw Republicans aren't going to nominate a woman or a non-white EVER lol keep dreaming.

I loathe people like VR.

He’s absolutely no dummy, & he actually can analyze from both sides ACCURATELY regarding anything and everything. An intelligent person can and should be able to do this. He knows exactly how, as he attended top notch universities, & did not have to learn how to analyze or hedge his bets all on his own, like the rest of us who couldn’t afford college, or were raised to not prioritize it, yet had to do so independently, just to gain a modicum of reason and critical thinking, in order to figure out, LITERALLY, how the world TRULY works.

He had every advantage offered to him, & decided to hedge his bets SOLELY for name recognition, as he himself, is VERY well educated, intelligent AF, & hence, technically understands he’s not becoming our next POTUS, yet has decided to troll the fuck out of Americans, in the most exploitative & sleazy way possible.

He has ZERO integrity.

That MATTERS, because right now? We absolutely need men & women of integrity to step forward and tell the TRUTH.

I have ZERO respect for this asswipe. He’s had every single opportunity handed to him or earned by him, on a silver platter. He knows the truth. He understands the game, yet here he is, lying, pandering to the lowest denomination, just like a sleazy used car salesman.

When you have that much money, that much knowledge, & you do this shit? You’re doing this shit because you’re a malignant narcissist.

Doesn’t matter to him, as malignant narcissists DGAF about anyone other than themselves.

Well you won't find them in the Trump Cult. You will find assholes and whores and grifters. That's it. That's the party. The whole Republican Party needs to collapse and die and hopefully out of the wreckage something useful can emerge, probably with more conservative elements in the Democratic Party and some independents floating around, lost and confused.

But for now, nothing remotely worthwhile is going to happen in the Republican Party.

It will never happen OP.

R16, Brian Kemp won the GA governor's race easily but Herschel Walker lost his Senate race.....and, no, a lot of them wouldn't support Clarence Thomas. They wouldn't vote for a Dem but they'd probably stay home on election day

This is almost as dumb as the Condi is beautiful troll.

R24, amen

Dumber R24.

Ramaswamy is Hindu and southern Christians will never rally around him. I thought it hilarious when he made some comment about them all worshiping the same god. No, Hindus are panthesists. They don't believe in the Christian's personal god.

If Trump is so battle scarred he doesn't win the nomination, it will be the social conservative Christian's favorite, DeSantis.

Only a fool would count DeSantis out. The Neo-Cons will rally around him as well to erase Trump.

Right. The racists will vote for him. GOOD CALL!

He scares me

If we wanted Vivek Ramaswamy to be President, we’d move to India.

r30 They have a Prime Minister in India.

[quote] I just wish someone would sit all the GOP candidates down and have them actually read the Presidential Records Act, which they keep citing in Trump's defense, because it does not say what they think it says.

They know what the Presidential Records Act says, and they know Trump is guilty as fuck. They're all lying through their teeth to say what the MAGA base wants to hear. They figure that if they repeat the lie enough times, it will become truth in people's minds. The GOP candidates are afraid of the MAGAts and don't want to piss them off because they know they will need their support if they win the nomination (which, of course, won't happen).

He’s really the Tulsi Gabbard of our time.

r33 Gabbard is another Hindu. Damn, lotsa Injuns.

I don't think the evangelical Christians care anymore what god a candidate worships or what their religious views are, as long as the candidate hates liberals and promises to pursue a hard-right agenda. It's not really about the religion at all (if it ever was). Most evangelical Christians knew Trump didn't actually read the Bible or go to church, and they knew he had violated every one of the 10 Commandments. But as long as Trump promised to appoint right-wing Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade, they were satisfied. If the southern Christians really were serious about their evangelical Christianity, Mike Pence would be way out in front of the GOP pack.

Little Injun that could NOT. 🚂

R35, the Christofascists care very much whether a candidate is Christian, even if in name only. Benedict Donald was raised Christian.

They aren't going to vote for some pagan-worshipping Negro-adjacent dothead.

Can we ban the asshole who keeps starting these threads?

This is why I don't think he has a shot. I think Bobby Jindal figured out as a teenager living in Louisiana that converting to Catholicism might make it easier to blend in certain social circles in that state. Nikki Haley was raised by Sikh parents and she probably grew up having people give her shit because her family wasn't Christian. She marries a Methodist guy and then converts later on. She probably did for more acceptance in a southern state.

It’s all about the confederacy. It doesn’t matter what your color is. There are African Americans who willingly fought for the confederacy. There are African Americans who will fight for the confederacy today. Tim Scott, Ben Carson, Mia Love, Herschel Walker, Herman Caine (RIP), Clarence Thomas.

Clarence Thomas believes integration ruined public schools. If he could, he’d allow a Christian school of all black students get public funds. That’s exactly what the confederates want.

There are more and more Latin and black GOP. They don’t like woke, which they equate with homosexuality and trans. People like DeSantis understand the way to get black & Hispanic voters is to attack woke, aka LGBTQetc.

R39, A YouTube channel called Atun-Shei Films explores the myth of the "willing" black Confederate.

"Were There Really Black Confederates"

The name Ramaswamy is a bride too far.

^bridge, dammit

Nothing will surprise me at this point.

[quote] The name Ramaswamy is a bride too far.

r41 Freudian slip there.🤣But keep it to a one night stand. No need to marry him.

Good history.

Never say never. But never.

He's the leading candidate for V-P.

Why is this not surprising?

Former employees excoriate him.

[quote]A person who worked closely with the former biotech executive reportedly alleged, "He (Vivek) thinks people are put on this earth to serve him." The reports further claimed he would insist his employees follow a bizarre laundry list of rules and procedures to suit his needs.

This didn't age well 😆 🤣

Even Vivek Ramaswamy doesn't think he will be the next President, maybe Commerce Secretary is Trump wins God Forbid.

Vivek should take his nasty, smelly stanksleeve back to whatever third world shithole he or his family came from and go back to shitting in gutters or holes in open fields. He's simply not as advanced as he seems to think he is.

OP is clearly Vivian’s PR flak.

Real 'Muricans don't vote for no Injuns -- dot or feather!

Well this post didnt age well, he just dropped out.

OP.ha ha ha ha ha ha ha what a worm he was.

His collapse is complete. He'll never be president.

Any other bold predictions you want to make, OP?
