    Amazes me how patient people are with vivek... who somehow believes that by continuing to talk people will listen to him. I have no clue what vivek supports or believes. I have no clue why anyone would want or should support him. I only wish people would use the mute button, ask their question, unmute him, and if he doesn't answer the question, put him back on mute.

    He is the most hated person in politics. ted cruz is more likeable.

    The Xeet is hilariously stupid. "Truth... It looks like" Looks like is subjective pretty much by definition. Hardly a truth.

    Meanwhile we've got the Speaker of the House publicly saying that he'll try and obstruct law enforcement.

    It’s long been obvious to me that he isn’t a serious candidate. He is by nature or more like cultivation a candidate for our time. Someone who is about ideology and grievance. Who has no principle or intellectual consistency as long it best positions himself to take on his enemies. Who believes that outrage is the most effective tool of rhetoric.

    If he was a Rockets fan He would fit in well here.

    If it was slightly popular on a certain day of the week to be Rockets Fan, he'll be one.

    Doubt it, Trump already said none of the people debating will be his VP..... I like Vivek I just don't believe he is legit, Tucker Carlson has a serious chance...

    Right about what? When he called January 6th a national disgrace or when he praised the January 6th rioters? When he said he wouldn’t support Israel or when he said he didn’t mean it? Or when he wrote that Trump is a sore loser or when he called him the greatest President of the 21st Century?

    and when the self-proclaimed anti-Woker paid big $ to have someone delete references, from his Wikipedia page, to him being a past recipient of the Wokist Soros fellowship

    People call X a shithole, while Vivek loudly objects, "That's not entirely accurate!"

    It would help if they didn’t cut him off and let him finish his point. It just makes him look good and appear censored

    I don’t believe him about a conspiracy but his pPoint is the govt does hide a lot and is not forthcoming with evidence. What do they have to hide?—is the crux

    Vivek is probably the smartest and effective person we’ve seen for office in a very very long time.

    you can be the smartest person in the world but enacting change is just as hard as that first attribute. Combine that with being a good communicator and reaching out in a charismatic manner…dude was born for this is only 37

    There’s a reason everyone in the media hates him so much, dude can’t be controlled or outwitted

    Ramaswamy has exceeded expectations by a mile, and yet his rolling average sits at about 5% in a fairly uncrowded field.

    I'm starting to think he would've gotten closer to the White House if he ran as a Democrat.

    There's just no getting around the elephant in the room of WASP status in the Republican party.

    Outwitting him is not hard. Just ask him to
    Reconcile what he said a few months ago
    With what he says now or any point on the future.

    As I said though about Trump he shouldn’t be underestimated. Consistency of thought or principle isn’t very important to many while attitude is. He fully understands this and is smart about building up the support he has.
