He's earned my respect. I hope he decides to run again someday.That's a good move. He's going to make sure he doesn't dilute the Trump vote and hand anything to Peloton Face Nikki.
Sadly, he probably won't get the chance. I would not be surprised by another summer of love post Super Tuesday, followed by Trump getting "Bobby Kennedy'd" before November. I believe that is where we probably are.He's earned my respect. I hope he decides to run again someday.
Unexpected. I did not think he was in it to win it. I thought he already knew he wasn’t gonna outperform polls by enough to matter.
I hope you're wrong.Sadly, he probably won't get the chance. I would not be surprised by another summer of love post Super Tuesday, followed by Trump getting "Bobby Kennedy'd" before November. I believe that is where we probably are.
The Nation is divided into two camps, one has the levers of power and will stop at nothing to maintain that grip. The Administrative State has nearly total control. Give it four more years we'll be Argentina circa 2016. The bureaucracy is just about out of control, and feel empowered to look you in the eye and say "in my opinion, you should do X", many no longer even pretend to hide behind Rule or guidance.
If I am Ramaswamy, I would probably buy a places in the Swiss Alps and somewhere in the South Pacific Rim, learn French, and try build a plan for saving my family as America disintegrates.
We've seen what the elected communists will do. Show trials. Fences around the Capital. Censorship. Kangaroo Courts for J6 protestors.
What time is it?
Asking for a friend...
Things have gotten catastrophic since then. Inability to say what a woman is was fringe idea still incubating in ivory towers. Now it’s mainstream. Woke was on no one’s radar. Now it’s dominant in all institutions, even churches .Yes, things have gotten worse since then
Trump Trump he’s our manQuit saying nice things about Ramassamy. Y'all know that Trump won Iowa bigly last night, right? All 99 counties. Whooop! (there it is)
That's true enough, but in a way, I still feel a bit more optimistic now, simply because it seems like people are being forced to wake up to reality. Some of us saw the writing on the wall back in 2012, or even before that, but back then if you tried to talk to a "mainstream" conservative, or especially to someone who fancied themselves a "moderate", you'd try telling them "Look, you do realize that with the path the left is on, we're going to have men dressed as women having discover-your-sexuality hour with 6-year-olds in public schools in a few years?" And they'd look at you like you just told them the moon landings were fake.Things have gotten catastrophic since then.

I think we’re all felt that way. When you start to think he’s sincere, but then see some stuff incongruent with that sincerity, it is hard to trust him. I was starting to trust that he’s being sincere. I also thought he understood that he’s not going to be the nominee. The fact that he’s running a cheep campaign made me think he’s in it for the platform. For the messaging. Dropping out at this point confirms it’s not that. It was a play to win the AF vote.There’s something about him that doesn’t ring true With me.
I dunno. I seem to remember having conversations with some of my close family and friends, even back then, and some of them had a pretty prescient idea of what the left was gunning for, especially with the push to sexualize young children and foist transgender nonsense on people. It's all just memories in my head though, so maybe I'm ascribing things to them in hindsight that they didn't actually foresee at the time.2012 was before cancel culture happened. You could pick any one of the nutty things the left stands for now, and nobody had that on their bingo cards.
His statement does make sense if you truly believe TPTB will never let Trump take office, and you are committed to pardoning Trump.That whole bit about “vote for me to save Trump” fails the logic test. I ain’t butthurt because he didn’t kiss the ring. I couldn’t care any less about how much respect Trump and Trumpers think he deserves. It’s that Ramaswamy’s statement just flat out doesn’t make any sense.
Yeah, it does seem like TPTB want him out no matter what. Whether its in jail or in the ground doesnt matter to them.His statement does make sense if you truly believe TPTB will never let Trump take office, and you are committed to pardoning Trump.
