Ramaswamy 2024

The guy has a way of dealing with leftists that interview him. Although this looks more like a debate.

One cannot deny ‘Swamy isn’t quick on his feet.

When he is good, he is really good.

With some of the recent commentary in this thread I thought it worthwhile to revisit this.

I watched this sometime back. I don't know if I previously posted the link or not. Regardless it is worth reposting and pointing out that Vivek Ramaswamy lays out his legal rationale and methodology for accomplishing much of the government reduction he has spoken of.

The link is to a Sean Ryan almost 2 hour interview.


If you want to skip to about the 40 minute point he lays out his legal basis which is 5 United States Code paragraph 3302. Further he is counting upon the current constitutionalist Supreme Court and Court challenges to his changes to set precedent which will effectively neuter the administrative state and permit the executive to again control the executive branch for a long time.

I have no way of knowing the legal viability or probabilities of his achieving success with this approach. It is however the most clearly ennunciated plan I have heard from a candidate in my life to restore this nation to something approaching the constitution's intent.

Couple his reference to 5 USC, to other remarks referencing the 10th amendment when discussing government overreach and the regulatory burden it imposes, and lawyers who think like him might make a good case to the SCOTUS.

Oh, and if you want a chuckle listen through the 55 minute mark.

I have to admit that his manner of using cold logic in his talking points had that chick SO upset. She just couldn't help herself but give in to talking over him and trying to derail him in mid-thought--and it still didn't work. I'm slowly becoming a fan... Doubt he'll make it through the primaries, but he's doing a great job of setting himself up for the future.

Could be, he's getting his name out there for 2028

Not trying to be an ageist, but I'm a bit more likely to vote for a 41 yo Ramaswamy than a 37 yo one. Especially if he has a long enough stint in a Republican administration first.

I took piano lessons for 7 years. Never got that good, but play a pretty mean Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle”. If you know ahead of time what I’m playing you might even be able to recognize it. Maybe. Probably not.

Edit: I’d say he has that memorized and only opened the sheet music for effect. We had to memorize complete pieces by Bach, Brahms, Mozart, etc for competitions. By the time you got around to actually playing it you were sick of it!!

TRUMP: We Like Ramaswamy

Finally, Trump likes a presidential running competitor, Vivek Ramaswamy. Made his sentence in Durham New Hampshire, he said, "Well, we like Ramaswamy, you kn...

I believe that 'Swamy believes in America First. I believe he's sincere in his positions.

Yeah that's kind of the way I'm coming around on him after first being skeptical. I'm not trying to sway anyone on him over Trump. It's just my opinion.

This clip demonstrates another example of why I now get the impression that Ramaswamy is legit and his passion for these issues are real. I'm with Trump when he says he likes Ramaswamy. I like him too and not just because he likes Trump.

 

[jwamplerusa]

I think Ramaswamy can smell the stench of January 6th, and he's willing to call it out.

He's not saying anything many of us do not know. The difference is he is willing to say it with a spotlight on him.

I see few other politicians willing to do likewise.

Apparently, Jake Paul is a fan of Ramaswamy. He told Vivek that he knocked out his opponent because he said he voted for Biden.

"I think there's two America first candidates in this race," Ramaswamy said. "That's Donald Trump and me."

While that may be true. A vast majority appear to still want the original among the candidates in this primary race.

I think if Trump weren't running Vivek could likely get their support among the other candidates.

Remember when @BugI02 caught a lot of flack, of the 'you like him because you don't like DeSantis' type, way back when he said 'swamy was his number two pick with reservations months ago?

Yeah I honestly think I do recall that you said that Bug. at the time. I'll admit that I wasn't as focused on Ramaswamy back then. But my focus started to pivot once I started becoming more familiar with him.

...to make a non-point? You'll have to explain that "you like him because you don't like DeSantis" type. No one seems to fit that description.
